O futuro da logística será o foco da 11ª edição da feira de Inteligência de Transportes, a ser realizada pela primeira vez em Londres, nos dias 7 e 8 de junho. “Como referência para as atividades de logística de governos, fabricantes, varejistas, empresas de logística, bancos e consultorias, o evento é considerado líder de mercado em análises e pesquisas da indústria global de logística, o que demonstra o valor de nossas conferências”, diz Sarah Smith, Diretora Administrativa da empresa organizadora do evento.

As edições anteriores do evento aconteceram em Cingapura, sendo a mais recente realizada em outubro de 2015.

Para este ano, em Londres, a Ti selecionou tópicos baseados na inovação, e contextualizados para o segmento de transportes e logística. Cada sessão da conferência terá um especialista de inteligência de transportes, além de referências de outros segmentos, como economistas, executivos da indústria e do varejo, ONGs ou investidores.

Os organizadores acreditam no formato de 2 dias para o evento, de modo a maximizar as oportunidades de networking, que incluem todos os players do segmento de logística mundial, além de usuários da rede de transportes.

Entre os temas abordados, estarão o poder da tecnologia inovadora, o impacto da diversificação da cadeia de suprimentos para otimização de custos, o varejo eletrônico e as entregas Last-Mile, os mercados emergentes, casos de inovação em logística, riscos à cadeia de suprimentos, envolvendo criminalidade, terrorismo e outras vulnerabilidades, urbanização e logística nas cidades e, por fim, duas Masterclasses, uma delas propondo a criação de negócios de “ultraperformance”- e a outra, abordando a cadeia de suprimentos diante de situações de catástrofe.

1. The Power of Disruptive Technology

What will the future of the logistics and supply chain industry look like? Big data and the Internet of Things are just a couple of technologies transforming the industry. But what impact will drones and autonomous vehicles have? What benefits will these technologies bring in real terms?

2. Near-sourcing and re-shoring: potential impact on supply chains

Will cheap energy costs in Europe lead to the re-shoring and near-sourcing of manufacturing? What impact will 3D printing and robotics/automation have on production costs? How will this impact on distribution strategies and what does this mean for logistics companies?

Moderator: Kim Winter, Global CEO, Logistics Executive

Panellist: Zen Yaworsky, Co-Owner, Supply Solutions

6. Terrorism, criminality and supply chain risk

The security situation in Syria and parts of Africa has had major implications for supply chains in Europe and highlighted their vulnerability not only to criminal activity, but also to the intervention by regulatory authorities. Firstly the refugee crisis and latterly the terrorist atrocities in France have led to the closure of borders in the Schengen area. What impact will this have on European distribution models based on the free flow of goods? How likely is it that border controls will be reinstated? What can supply chain and logistics companies do to reduce risk in their supply chains?

Moderator: John Manners-Bell, CEO, Ti

7. Urbanisation and City Logistics

With an increasing proportion of Europe’s population living in cities, how these growing urban areas are served in terms of logistics is critical to their successful functioning. Competition for the use of limited transport infrastructure especially roads and railways is increasing. What role will regulators play in the development of City Logistics strategies? How can new technologies and Big Data make road use more efficient? What are the environmental imperatives to sustainable logistics strategies?
