Logistics means moving goods and persons. In many business sectors, logistics refers to how resources and products are handled and moved along the supply chain. Logistics means more and more speed, flexibility, efficiency, performance, safety, quality and monitoring. This is a growing need for both the companies stocking, distributing and transporting goods and for the manufacturing companies. It is becoming increasingly important for manufacturing companies that products and components are moved quickly and reliably before, during and after the production process.
One enormous and stable change observed in recent years is that the need for automation and digitalization in the movement of goods is constantly increasing.
