33rd International Supply Chain Conference - Driving Change

19th – 21st of October, 2016, Berlin
 
A basic and underlying thought of the International Supply Chain Conference is to spread logistic knowledge between experts with corresponding publicity work and for a wider range of people as well. From the start, the congress has been intended to be a decisive platform for contacts and businesses. No other event in Germany makes the 'logistics market' more concrete than the International Supply Chain Conference. Since 1985 it is held in conjunction with a special exhibition. During all the years, the number of booths increased tenfold from 20 to recently 200. Additionally, there is a wide range of meetings and company meetings. Today, the International Supply Chain Conference is the most important annual logistics event in Europe. It has turned out to be a central meeting point of German economy. But also more foreign guests take part every year to profit from knowledge exchange and concentrated communication possibilities.
 
The LogDynamics Research Cluster will be represented at a booth at the 33rd International Supply Chain Conference again this year. We cordially invite all congress participants, who are interested in innovative solutions for logistics, to visit our booth. The focus of this year's presence will be set on technologies for the realization of Industry 4.0.

Cost management has become a critical success factor. Transparency about all direct and indirect costs is necessary along the entire value added chain. The concept of „total cost of ownership (TCO)“ is a holistically approach to identify cost-cutting potentials. Since 2006 the „Bremer Logistiktag“ has been the most important business conference in the field of logistics and supply chain management in North-West Germany. More than 500 participants and 20 exhibitors could be welcomed in 2011. In 2013, the event will be hosted by BVL International in cooperation with the KIESERLING foundation und VIA BREMEN. The theme “Total Cost of Ownership” will be addresses from different point of views. The target group are decision makers from the industry, trade and logistics service sectors. Experts from the region’s leading business sectors, e.g. shipbuilding, consumer goods, automotive, aeronautics and wind energy will introduce their concepts around the topic and show how to identify potentials and realize savings.
 
The research cluster LogDynamics participates in the conference exchibition and presents itself at a common booth with its member institutes BIBA and ISL.

LogDynamics Participates in the Logistics Day 2013

First International Conference on "A European Research Strategy for Intermodal Transport"

The first international conference on “A European research strategy for intermodal transport” will be held in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on 17th and 18th April 2013. The objective of the conference is to contribute at the optimization of research and innovation transport policies by defining a targeted research strategy for intermodality to be implemented in the new programming period 2014-2020. The event aims specifically at:

• giving advice to regional authorities and further stakeholders on the coordination of RTD policy development and support the consideration and integration of transport related concerns into Smart Specialisation Strategies;
• formulating recommendations to private and public RTD actors on research strategies to be tackled in the future and spread knowledge on successfully developed technologies and procedures for improving transport modes;
• presenting and debating on successful cluster policies and strong innovation systems supporting the exploitation of research results into the market.

Pushing the Boundaries of Manufacturing with Innovative Design and Materials

3rd Innomatnet Workshop on Materials and Innovation on 11th of April 2013 at the Hannover Messe
 
Manufacturing has undergone numerous changes that have been enabled by new technologies, different materials, and/or innovative product design. Building upon this relationship, this workshop will provide a forum to connect and inform people, to depict new trends, and to take a different view on manufacturing processes. The event will include a series of short presentations by experts from academia and industry, and the dissemination of existing tools to promote the innovation process. This workshop is part of an event series organized by the consortium of InnoMatNet (innomatnet.eu), a project funded by the European Commission. With the idea of bringing specialists from materials laboratories and innovation actors in various industrial sectors together, InnoMatNet aims to establish inter-disciplinary connections towards a successful innovation society.

LogDynamics on the 29th German Logistics Congress

The 29th German Logistics Congress of Bundesvereingung Logistik (BVL) themed " Networks of Excellence” will be held from 17th to 19th of October in Berlin. A fundamental idea behind the German Logistics Congress was and is to disseminate logistics knowledge of experts to the general public. Since 1985 the congress is also accompanied by a trade exhibition.
 
Also this year the Bremen Research Cluster for Dynamics in Logistics will be represented within the trade exhibition demonstrating innovative solutions for the logistics sector. The highlight at this year’s stand is the model of a sea port terminal: autonomous cars in the transshipment process from the ramps of the vessel to the loading on the truck. During the whole process the vehicles will be traced with RFID-technology. Event messages will be sent to an IT-system and shared from there to all partners in the process chain. The demonstrator was developed within the RAN (RFID-based Automotive Network) project. The goal of the project is to create better transparency in the supply chain of the automotive industry.
 
All interested participants of the conference are warmly invited to visit us at the LogDynamics booth number 22 in the Pavillon (PV/22).

LOGMS – Second International Conference on Logistics and Maritime Systems

22nd – 24th August 2012, University of Bremen
 
The second International Conference on Logistics and Maritime Systems will take place from 22nd to 24th August 2012 in Bremen. The objective is to provide a forum for exchanging ideas on the latest developments in the field of logistics and maritime systems among participants from universities and related industries, and to seek opportunities for collaboration among the participants. Logistics activities worldwide have been rapidly increasing. As a result, global freight networks are emerging which combine maritime transport, inland waterways and onshore road and rail transportation systems.
 
The first conference of this series took place in Busan, Korea in 2010 integrating various predecessor conferences like the International Conference on Intelligent Logistics Systems (IILS), held in Busan, Korea (2005), Brisbane, Australia (2006), Kitakyushu, Japan (2007), Shanghai, China (2008), and Gold Coast, Australia (2009), and the Supply Chain Management (MLOG) conference held in Singapore (2008).
