Siemens Digital Industries Software announced that it will present its latest innovations for the digital planning and control of supply chains and enable crisis-resistant supply chain orchestration at transport logistics in Munich from June 2 to 5, 2025.
Siemens’ presence includes demonstrations of solutions for automated transport planning, the use of the Digital Twin as an optimization tool in supply chain management and a control tower that can be used to synchronize production and delivery processes in real time.
“At transport logistic 2025, Siemens will showcase our scalable IT solutions that enable industrial and logistics companies to manage their logistics and supply chain networks efficiently and sustainably – especially with regard to current and future challenges,” says Volker Albrecht, CEO of Siemens Digital Logistics. “Our portfolio provides customers with numerous tools that enable them to ensure reliable supply to plants and warehouses while achieving a return on investment, for example through higher resource utilization, lower costs and a better carbon footprint.”
The solutions presented include the AX4 Transport Optimizer, which uses advanced algorithms to automate and optimize complex tasks such as shipment grouping, route planning and cost management. Transport planning based on vehicle configurations takes into account metrics such as weight, volume, number of pallets and variable and fixed cost structures. Modern algorithms enable the automated creation of cost-optimized transport plans, even for multi-stop transports with several pick-up and delivery locations. Real-time data integration is available as an option, allowing transport plans to be adjusted dynamically. This allows companies to react flexibly to changing conditions and requirements.
Additionally, at transport logistic, Siemens will showcase practical solutions for resilient and cost-efficient supply chains in industry and trade with dynamic planning tools such as the Digital Twin. The Supply Chain Suite allows various scenarios to be analyzed and simulated. For example, sourcing strategies and network configurations can be run through in detail before their operational implementation and their results predicted. In combination with Opcenter™ Intraplant Logistics (IPL), the optimization options extend from the supply chain to the warehouse.
Digital solutions such as Siemens Digital Logistics’ Control Tower ensure end-to-end transparency across all production and logistics processes. This bundles and consolidates data across systems, enabling seamless synchronization of production and logistics processes. With its capabilities in the area of supply chain visibility, the Control Tower also forms an ideal ecosystem for implementing a functioning circular economy.
