    “In 2023, many new things will happen. New technologies will occur, new technologies will be available. New start-ups will be there. Start-ups will be gone.”

    Read more about the 5 Major Logistics Trends:

      • 75% of large warehouses will be using smart robots by 2026 
      • Most manufacturing enterprises will be at least 80% automated within the next ten years. (with A.I. software, video recognition, A.R. and V.R.; AGVs and exoskeletons are expected to become widespread). 
      • IBM Research reported that the use of A.I. in commercial manufacturing would increase by 40-80% within three years.
      • A.I. will spread across more fields. For example in freight rate calculations: A.I. solutions that can set the appropriate cargo freight rate by using roughly 2 million big data records, including the day of the week, transportation time, and weather.

      • 53% of organizations plan to increase their focus on sustainable sourcing 
      • We will see more sustainable packaging materials (sustainable plastic film use by Lufthansa Cargo, projects from BMW, Pepsi (bio-based thermoplastic pallets)
      • Zero-carbon shipping will become more accessible (Electric vehicle trucks, cargo bikes, and drones)
      • The introduction of megawatt charging to stimulate the development of electric vehicle trucks in the long haul

      • By actively using predictive models based on data, automotive accidents can be a thing of the past.
      • By 2025, there will likely be more than 27 billion IoT connections. 

      • Even more companies from various sectors are turning to 3D Printing in 2023 (Alstom, Lockheed Martin, Shell, and G.E. are already there) – the technology is becoming increasingly mature.
      • New tools will be used to organize and integrate fleets of 3D printers and/or 3D printing robots within production workflows.
      • A new service to watch in 2023: same-day delivery of 3D-printed parts

      • ABB survey: 70% of U.S. businesses looking to bring production closer to home
      • U.S. China decoupling: technology firms that receive government funding will be banned from building “advanced technology facilities” in China for a decade
      • This doesn’t include European companies where the trend continues to locate new investments in China (BASF, ABB, Airbus)
      • Friendshoring and nearshoring will slowly be re-considered

    Over and above the focus on the logistics industry, Wirsing also shares strong trends shaping the future in general: Political & Legal, Economic, Social, and Environmental. 

    “2023 will also be a year full of disruptions, challenges. But in the end also great opportunities.”
