Whether in demand forecasting, sales planning, or transport optimization: Already every fifth logistics company in Germany (22 percent) uses artificial intelligence, and another 26 percent are planning or discussing it. This is shown by a representative survey of more than 400 logistics companies with at least 20 employees in Germany, commissioned by the digital association Bitkom.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

(Berlin) Thus, logistics is clearly ahead of the overall German economy when it comes to AI. In comparison, only nine percent of companies across all sectors use AI.1<\/sup> “The logistics industry has recognized the potential of AI both in warehousing and transport and is strategically using the technology to increase efficiency, quality, and productivity,” comments Bitkom’s CEO Dr. Bernhard Rohleder. For the future, more than half of logistics companies (58 percent) expect that artificial intelligence will be widespread and will take over many tasks in logistics, such as route planning or avoiding empty trips.<\/p>\n

Logistics Industry as a Pioneer of Digitalization<\/strong><\/h5>\n

In the logistics sector, the majority of companies (56 percent) consider themselves pioneers in digitalization \u2013 compared to only 32 percent in the overall economy.2<\/sup> “Digitalization is not a peripheral but a core issue in logistics,” says Rohleder. Most companies are dealing with a wide variety of technological solutions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cloud computing is widely used: Almost seven out of ten companies (68 percent) use cloud computing in logistics. Six out of ten use IoT applications or sensor technologies (61 percent) as well as warehouse management systems (59 percent). Smartphones or tablets are used in 56 percent of logistics companies, and big data and analytics are employed in 41 percent. The same number utilize digital marketplaces (41 percent). Digital twins are less common: Only one in seven companies (14 percent) uses them, but one in four (25 percent) is planning or discussing their use. Furthermore, one in three companies (35 percent) is dealing with robotics, and one in nine (11 percent) is already using robots. Intelligent shelves (6 percent) and drones (4 percent) are hardly applied. A quarter is planning their use or discussing it (26 percent each).<\/p>\n

Logistics Industry is Open to Digitalization<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Rohleder: “The logistics industry is open and positively inclined towards digitalization; many companies are pioneers in the use of digital technologies. Through the consistent use of digital technologies, logistics makes a significant contribution to sustainable and climate-friendly production and mobility.”<\/p>\n

\n
Note on Methodology<\/h5>\n
\n

The basis for the information is a survey conducted by Bitkom Research on behalf of the digital association Bitkom. A total of 404 logistics companies in Germany with at least 20 employees were surveyed by phone. The survey is representative. The questions were: “Which of the following technologies and applications are you already using or planning or discussing to use?”, “How widespread do you think the following scenarios will be in 2030?” and “Where does your company generally stand on the topic of digitalization?”.<\/p>\n

1) Study “Artificial Intelligence \u2013 Where Does the German Economy Stand?”<\/a>: 606 companies with at least 20 employees in Germany were surveyed. The survey is representative of the overall economy.<\/em><\/p>\n

2) Study “Digitalization of the Economy”<\/a>: 604 companies with at least 20 employees in Germany were surveyed. The survey is representative of the overall economy.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
