Logistics Autumn Conference on Digital Transformation
The Cluster invites you to the Logistics Autumn Evening at the Chamber of Commerce on December 2nd 2016 starting at 16:00. This year's conference is focusing on Digital Transformation in Logistics, which is driving innovation in every sector. A networking walking dinner concludes our conference and brings together actors from various sectors.
Be it connected processes, track and trace or business forecasting via big data, the digital transformation and Industry 4.0 are the new reality and no longer just buzzwords. At this year’s Logistics Autumn Conference, the Cluster for Logistics will investigate “How Digitization makes Supply Chains more efficient, agile and customer-focused”.
Our main Topics:
- Digital Supply Chains
- Integrated Planning and Execution
- Procurement 4.0
- E-Commerce and Visibility
- Supply Chain Analytics
- Finding the right skills
Companies that miss out on the new digital realities struggle to enhance their processes in a competitive business environment. Big Data, track and trace or simplified interfaces strongly influence logistics activities and the capacity to serve customers. This megatrend is on the menu of many logistics companies according also to the latest PwC survey on Industry 4.0. In the next five years, the digitization of the industry is previewed to increase strongly.
Our final programme is being determined but we secured the new director of the Luxembourg Centre for Logistics and Supply Chain Management (LCL), Prof. Benny Mantin. As speaker, Prof. Mantin will join us via videoconference.
A recent PwC study about Industry 4.0 that shows the trends and the expectations of the logistics sector in this field is also on the menu.
The Cluster is currently finalizing the programme and will send out a definitive agenda to its members soon. Check out this site often for updates and reserve your seat early.

Romain NICOT, Partner transport at onepoint : Across my 15 years of professional experience, I built a strong experience in transportation sector as well as in organizational transformation. On these two axes, my skills goes from building a Shared service platform for Commercial department back office to scope and realize the PMI of a Full truck load company. These experiences were done in a digital disruption mindset in order to bring the optimum value for people. My conviction is that digitalization should bring the link between real world and ideal world. In that way digital is only a pretext for innovation. About the presentation "How to make your Supply Chain more flexible" Multi-channel pressure is real and requires the supply chain to become agile. ERP implemented in the 90s no longer meet this need. Our belief is that IS supporting the supply chain should benefit from the industrialization of uses in gradually letting the historical pillars technologies to provide more flexibility and responsiveness to current demands.
