The importance of resilient supply chains – Aurubis’ Group Logistics Director, Patrizia Schwalbe, was part of an expert talk at the TDI 2024 (Day of Industry). The TDI is a major event for economic policy in Germany and addresses relevant debates on global trade and multinational cooperation with many international guests. The TDI is hosted annually by the Federation of German Industries (BDI - Bundesverband der Deutschen Industrie e.V.), the umbrella organization of German industry and industry-related service providers. 🗣️ Together with Dr. Thomas Schulte and Oliver Bendig, she discussed the state of international supply chains and what is needed to further minimize risks for fragile supply chains. The focus of the discussion: the results of a Supply Chain Pulse Check in Germany, which show high pressure on supply chains due to global upheavals and overlapping crises. ❗Patrizia Schwalbe emphasized that Aurubis is implementing various measures for a strong supply chain: Great diversification in suppliers for recycled material and copper concentrates, long-term relationships with our partners, and forward-looking, flexible supply chain management – including artificial intelligence to increase the predictability of events. ✅ Ultimately, we benefit from the strength of our international smelter network at Aurubis: each of our smelters has its own specific advantages and we use the high flexibility of the smelter network to ensure security of supply in production. An exciting exchange with interesting insights into different industries – and important impulses for making supply chains sustainably resilient!  #Aurubis #MetalsforPorgress #TomorrowMetals #TDI24 #SupplyChain

Did you know that publishing a solution's blueprints as open source does not result in any loss of competitive advantages? Rhenus Logistics and the Fraunhofer IML affirmed this, publishing both software and hardware components of the ITCPRO sensor in the Open Logistics Repository. Companies can now also use the blueprints to create their customised document disposal solution, which they can then utilise commercially with added value. 💡 "Generally, when designing such products, it is important that they are simple, robust and inexpensive to produce and can therefore be quickly reproduced by other companies”, says Jens Leveling, Head of Technology at the Open Logistics Foundation and Lead Software Architect at the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics IML. 🎯 The ITCPRO sensor shows that publishing components to a basic solution as open source benefits all market players. The sensor represents an innovation in document waste management, through which an increase in efficiency and sustainability is possible for all companies. 👉🏻 Find out more about the motivation behind sharing this innovation, and how it works in our Open Logistics Magazine edition 3: https://lnkd.in/dShcJTUQ #opensourcesoftware #hardware #robots Jens Leveling | Guido Follert | Michael ten Hompel

🌍✨ 𝐊𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐠𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒! 🚀 As a global leader in intralogistics, the KION Group ensures the smooth flow of materials and information in production plants, warehouses, and distribution centers across over 100 countries. With around 42,000 employees, they're the biggest manufacturer of forklift trucks and warehouse handling equipment in Europe and a leading provider of warehouse automation worldwide. Their IT department, the technical heart of KION, develops pioneering digital solutions to support our strategic goals and shape the market. Embracing responsibility towards sustainability, committing to a holistic decarbonization approach and aiming for net-zero GHG emissions across the value chain by 2050. At the moment even hotter than our climate is everything around Artificial Intelligence, so they came up with a challenge! 🔥 💡 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞: 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐋𝐋𝐌 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨r  The rise of generative AI, like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini, has revolutionized companies’ operations but comes with high energy demands. For instance, training GPT-3 consumed around 300,000 kWh of electricity – equivalent to the electricity consumption of an average US household for almost 30 years! 🕴️ 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧: Develop the “Smart LLM Selector,” an intelligent system that optimizes energy use by analyzing incoming prompts and selecting the most suitable Large Language Model. The system will classify prompts as “simple” or “complex” and assign them to either an energy-efficient, smaller model or a more powerful, larger model, balancing response quality and energy consumption. 🎥 ...but now let Thomas Kuehne introduce you to the topic!

🌟 Moving Sneak Peak 🌟 Rossmann has not only upgraded its 4,500 shops: the company has also worked tirelessly behind to scenes to expand and improve. In its ultramodern distribution centers— particularly in the central warehouse near Leipzig, Germany—Rossmann relies on automated pallet and container conveyors for flexible and sustainable transport of goods. A combined retrofit and expansion project not only increased performance, but also reduced energy consumption. This was achieved through the smart integration of the Modular Pallet Conveyor Platform (MPP) and Modular Conveyor Platform (MCP). The two systems seamlessly interact with each other and ensure a precise and trouble-free process. The integration of an automatic loading and palletizing system from partner Schwingshandl also helps to increase efficiency. 🚀Find out what else was installed and why the entire project is an exemplary modernization of existing systems in the latest issue of moving: https://hubs.li/Q02sfDT30 #Rossmann #PalletHandling #Pallets
