Ein zentrales Statement von CEO Andreas Nettsträter zur Arbeitsweise und den Schwerpunkten der Open Logistics Foundation. "Technik - Organisation - Recht: Wir müssen immer diesen Dreiklang und deren Zusammenspiel im Auge haben." Gemeinsam mit Markus Sandbrink | CIO der Rhenus Logistics gibt Andreas einen Überblick über das Warum und Wie der Open Logistics Foundation und einen aktuellen Einblick in den Stand einiger Working Groups. Thematisiert werden u.a. der #eCMR (thematischer Lead: Ingo Müller/ | DACHSER und Jonas Kassan | Rhenus Logistics), Open #Customs Blockchain (thematischer Lead: Michael Douglas | ALS Customs Services) und die Zusammenarbeit mit der ALICE, Alliance for Logistics Innovation through Collaboration in Europe (ETP LOGISTICS). Dabei wird deutlich, was die Partner der Foundation am Ende erwarten: nutzbare Lösungen und nicht nur Konzepte. Beim Thema eCMR sind die Arbeiten am weitesten fortgeschritten. Welche Funktionalitäten braucht die Lösung, um sie auch tatsächlich in die Anwendung zu bringen? Derzeit wird die Praxistauglichkeit mit Blick auf Betrieb und Wartung finalisiert. "Wir sind hier jetzt wirklich kurz vor dem nächsten Schritt, (...) dass wir das für die Kunden produktiv einsetzen.", verrät Markus Sandbrink. "Ich sehe schon: die Themen sind endlos!", sagt Podcast-Host Amelie Bauer zum Schluss. Viel Spaß beim Hören und wir kommen gerne wieder.

Open source developments are gaining traction in the logistics landscape, offering cost-effective and customisable solutions to businesses and industries. The Open Logistics Report showcases a growing number of projects that leverage open source components to address various issues, such as a common mobility simulation platform, metas GmbH's ERP and CRM software, NE:ONE (Digitales Testfeld Air Cargo - DTAC), which implements International Air Transport Association (IATA)'s ONE record standard, and OpenBoxe's Inventory management system for medical centres. 🔍 All the projects address different issues and serve different sectors, using different open source licences, but they have in common the collaborative work behind them and their accessibility as free and open source software. 👉🏻 Learn about existing projects and the issues they address in the Open Logistics Report, authored by Michael Schmidt, Marius Brehler, Jens Leveling and Andreas Nettsträter. https://lnkd.in/eC2-PjpR 💡 Note: The listed overview of projects is based on the author's field and network research and does not claim to be exhaustive.

The day was filled with 12 interactive workshops, each designed to provide a hands-on learning experience for all participants. These workshops, hosted by representatives from Fraunhofer IML, Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Ruhr-OWL, Centrum für Entrepreneurship & Transfer, Digital Hub Logistics Dortmund, Graduate School of Logistics, Leistungszentrum Logistik und IT, and Technische Universität Dortmund, covered a wide range of topics. Furthermore, everyone had the opportunity to enjoy valuable networking opportunities, food trucks, a candy bar, and some live music.   🎯 Among many other topics addressed in the workshops, the Foundation hosted a workshop on building the ultimate community space — Bricktopia, presented by Annika Kamen and Nathalie Böhning. The winning team with the most creative idea took home the title of "Community Master Builders." As always, we also learned something new. We have learnt that even more factors make up the perfect community space than we thought. From the creative ideas and the fun realisation of the teams to the atmosphere at the workshop, the workshop was a complete success. Thank you to all participants for your contribution and, of course, to the Digital Hub team for organising the event.    #innovation #community #collaboration #networking   Maria Beck | Karina Kampert | Melissa Kohnen | Fraunhofer ISST | Fraunhofer IML | Carina Culotta | Christian Prasse | EDIH-DO by Digital Hub Logistics Dortmund | Charlotte Edzard | Thorsten Huelsmann | Dr. Veronika Kretschmer | Martina Hörsting

The Open Logistics Foundation stands as a neutral ground where crucial discussions that significantly impact the whole industry can take place and be mapped out to possible projects and organisational implementations. These exchanges and the work being done, whether virtual or in person, are the backbone of our community. Our most recent member summit in Berlin allowed our member company representatives to dive deeply into essential topics. After experts shared insights on Day 1, Day 2 offered interactive workshops where participants discussed the topics further, leaving with the next steps for individual and collective implementations. 🎯 Topics such as getting ready for open source, procurement of open source, legal updates and challenges such as Transportation law and communal communication practices were explored. Thank you to our workshop hosts and experts, Dr. David Saive, LL.M., Christian Prasse, Carina Culotta, Jens Leveling, Marius Brehler, and Carina Tüllmann, for the preparations and moderation, as well as to all attendees for your active participation. 🚀 We are already looking forward to our next Open Source Innovation Days in 2025, our upcoming Ideation Workshop in November 2024, and our continued regular virtual discussions, allowing us to dig deeper into relevant topics that shape the future of logistics and supply chains.

𝗖𝗢𝗦𝗦 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗟𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 📢 The Finnish Centre for Open Systems and Solutions (COSS) and the Open Logistics Foundation just became Liaison Partners. 🔍 COSS – Centre for Open Systems and Solutions is a non-profit and commonbenefit association that promotes open source, open data, open standards and APIs. Internationally known as one of the oldest and most active centres for openness, COSS operates based on extensive cooperation, communication and networking. The aim of COSS is to strengthen the competitiveness of Finland's software-intensive industries, promote the growth and internationalisation of open source businesses and enhance the development of the Finnish information society through the support of open technologies and communities. 💡 Given their shared interests, both organisations intend to cooperate on a not-for-profit and commonbenefit basis with each other, adhering to their respective statutes and applicable laws, particularly those concerning antitrust and competition regulations. “Due to its constantly growing network of members and as well as national and international partners, COSS is an ideal network partner for us”, says Andreas Nettsträter, CEO of the Open Logistics Foundation. 🤝 "COSS and the Open Logistics Foundation share the belief that open source software and open standards are of crucial importance to various sectors, including the logistics industry and the public sector. This cooperation is a significant step forward in fostering innovation and transparency on an international level”, says Timo Väliharju, Executive Director at COSS. The COSS is now the third network partner of the Open Logistics Foundation, next to ALICE, Alliance for Logistics Innovation through Collaboration in Europe (ETP LOGISTICS) and OSB Alliance (Open Source Business Alliance - Bundesverband für digitale Souveränität e.V.). 👉🏻 Learn more on our website: https://lnkd.in/dTbFq329 #opensource #collaboration #innovation
