Thriving in the Digital Age: The Need for a Copernican Business Revolution
In this visually rich presentation based on the content of his new book ‘Transition Point’, Sean A. Culey discusses how a new wave of disruptive technologies is fundamentally changing nearly every aspect of the end-to-end Supply Chain, including the relationship between customer and company. He will present a glimpse into the very near future where a ‘triple whammy’ of automation will result in a Value Chain that is fully automated, personalised and local.
Using videos and innovative presentation tools he will outline the nature of the changes, from demand capture to manufacture and fulfilment, and discuss ways companies can adapt to take advantage of the opportunities they provide.

Current situation in the automotive sector – opportunities and threats for suppliers
The automotive sector was significantly affected by the covid wave. She touched someone more, someone less. However, each wave will pass once. However, companies must respond adequately so that they are not swept away by another potential wave. How to be prepared? Is there any way to prepare for such threats in the automotive sector at all? What’s more: the automotive sector is undergoing change. These are related, among other things, to the onset of electromobility. Where are the opportunities for suppliers and what should we see as threats?

The path from bricks and mortar to multichannel without sacrificing sustainability or affordability
Buying a flat package and assembling furniture has always been a natural thing to do for IKEA customers. But now, people want options. They want to order online and get products delivered. They want furnishings assembled and installed. And they want convenience, with continued great value for money. This is the challenge for IKEA: making the world of home furnishings affordable, sustainable and more convenient. In short, fulfilling customers’ needs whenever and wherever they come into contact with us.
This exclusive presentation by the head of IKEA’s fulfillment team for the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary, Yiannis Mitris, will explore how IKEA is transforming from a bricks-and-mortar to a multichannel retail operation. This has been a tremendous challenge considering not only the tradition of in-store shopping at IKEA but also the wide variety of shapes and sizes of products which IKEA sells and subsequently needs to deliver to its customers. Learn how IKEA has managed this transition and how it plans to further develop its online retail and delivery services in the future, all the while ensuring that sustainability remain a key component in the decision-making process.

AUTONOMOUS MOBILE ROBOTS
The goods in the warehouse are transported precisely, quickly and without stopping 24 hours a day – the complete range of autonomous robots from the technological pioneer from Silicon Valley is now also available in the Czech Republic. AMR Independent Autonomous mobile robots solution is possible for all warehouses, factories and distribution centers who need to be positive and optimize their costs.
3D vision and artificial intelligence: Advanced automation – the future of logistics
Thanks to significant technological progress, the automation of industrial processes is gaining momentum. Introducing robots into logistics processes increases productivity and performance, saves time and money, and last but not least, eliminates the risk of workplace injuries. The market offers several automation options. One of them, which plays an important role in this direction and holds a leading position, is the automation enabled by advances in robotic 3D vision and artificial intelligence. These two elements and their combinations play a significant role in automated material handling in logistics and production processes.
The advantage of this method of automation is the possibility of recognizing objects of different size, shape and material, which can also be arbitrarily stored, oriented and even overlap each other. Photoneo will demonstrate this through fully automated depalletizing and sorting solutions for packages and envelopes.
Subsequently, Photoneo will introduce the possibility of measuring fast-moving objects and how to sort them based on dimensions. The company will also present its autonomous mobile robot, which does not need any magnetic tapes or other infrastructure adaptations to move, as it moves using 3D vision.
Cooperative PALLET EXCHANGE
GOPALL is a unique system that ensures efficient pallet exchange between carriers during pallet transport. GOPALL helps to solve the pallet debt already during transport planning and at the same time allows the carrier to get rid of empty pallets near the unloading. As a result, they have their hands free for further transport and are not limited by the direction or load capacity of the COOPERATIVE PALLET EXCHANGE.
Innovative solutions and new trends in autonomous logistics
Today, as the current era undergoes economic change, people’s access to technology and its use is also changing. At this time, the importance and importance of the use of robots is brought about by industrial evolution, which has long been a part of human reality. Our company has also expanded with new products and trends in the field of autonomous equipment for autonomous cleaning of premises and autonomous disinfection in industry.
Shipping speed as a key factor for e-commerce
The growth of e-commerce, which is taking place this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, is bringing new competitors to the market. Companies must “arm themselves” and provide customers with the highest quality services accompanied by a range of added value. One of them is the speed of shipment of goods from the warehouse. Not so long ago, the speed of sending the ordered goods was calculated in days, but today we are talking about hours. In this case study, using the example of Bonus Bona, visitors will find out how the speed of processing orders from the warehouse can be accelerated up to 6 times without losing a 100% overview of the location of goods.
