Intralogistica Italia: Preview of the exhibition conferences

The Press Conference for INTRALOGISTICA ITALIA was held today at the prestigious Alfa Romeo Museum. A preview of the programme of conferences was a focal point of the themes presented, illustrating them as real and distinctive training opportunities for logistics operators, called to this exhibition by both the knowledge that INTRALOGISTICA ITALIA is the sole trade fair completely dedicated to internal logistics in Italy and the chance to view and touch the latest technological products from complementary sectors such as packaging & processing, plastics & rubber, printing & converting.

On March 15th free pre-registration for visitors was closed and over 2,000 visitors from 70 different countries have registered to visit the exhibition.

The calendar of conferences, which will be completed over the next few weeks, will be interesting and articulated, dealing with the themes that have emerged from consultation with the Advisory Panel whose members include: AUTOMHA, BENNET, BEUMER GROUP, BYD, CANDY, CCIMOLA, CLS CGT, CROWN LIFT TRUCKS, DEMATIC, DHL, FERRETTO GROUP, GRUPPO FCA, INCAS, INTERROLL, IPER LA GRANDE I, KARDEX ITALIA, LINDE MATERIAL HANDLING ITALIA, LEROY MERLIN, MITSUBISHI, MODULA, SCHENKER ITALIANA, SWISSLOG ITALIA.

The INTRALOGISTICA inaugural conference will take place on May 29th 2018 and will be entitled "Transformation of logistics in 4.0 terms: an important requirement for Intelligent Factories". Following the initial impact of Industry 4.0 that took place within company productive processes, it was clear immediately that the real heart of innovation lies in businesses' internal logistics. Interconnectivity between systems determines the quantity of information obtained between production and delivery stages and it is there that the difference can really be made. In particular for B2B companies.

"How logistics is changing with the advent of e-commerce. Technology, warehouses and distribution interconnected in production and in B2B" is the title of the second conference organised by AISEM allied with ANIMA scheduled for May 31st 2018. We have passed from products created specifically for clients, which have characterised the approach to sales over the last 30 years, to products that adapt to the demands of the final customer. In particular, customer needs and delivery timing are nearer to the (online) ordering time, even in B2B. This is an even greater revolution than it is possible to imagine, which involves every single warehouse and the entire distribution chain logic.

The third conference is entitled "More and more energy efficiency also for logistics" and it will take place on Friday June 1st 2018. The progressively central position taken by internal logistics in companies is causing a steady increase in the use of energy dedicated to this company process. The need to put optimisation plans and initiatives for all components of the logistic processes into action is growing fast. The challenge of generating greater energy efficiency and using renewable resources is increasingly related to warehouse management.

These three conferences organised for INTRALOGISTICA ITALIA by AISEM – the Italian Association of Lifting, Elevation and Handling systems allied with ANIMA – the Federation of National Associations, will include the participation of important sector associations such as FEM - the European Materials Handling Federation and Assintel - the National Association of ICT Companies, of Milan Polytechnic and of an international network for tax consultancy - PwC – PricewaterhouseCoopers, as well as of the Certifying Body ICIM.

As can be deducted from the meeting programme and from the most important market players attending INTRALOGISTICA ITALIA, the exhibition will present strategies and solutions that respond to the challenges and needs of "Industry 4.0", which demand an even closer and more intelligent integration between production and logistics, new digital technology and automated and interconnected processes.
