An Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) und Maschinellem Lernen führt längerfristig auch in der Transportbranche kein Weg mehr vorbei. Das behauptet der Logistic-Trend-Index, der im Rahmen der transport logistic München mittels Befragungen an 100 Fach- und Führungskräften erhoben wurde. Immerhin 70 Prozent der Befragten wollen deshalb laut der Umfrage den Nutzen dieser Technologien für die eigenen Marktchancen prüfen. Vorteile sehen die Player vor allem beim autonomen Betrieb von Fahrzeugen auf Strasse und Schiene. 82 Prozent der befragten Logistiker sind allerdings auch der Meinung, dass intelligente Maschinen den Menschen die Arbeit nicht vollständig aus der Hand nehmen sollten, sondern nur assistieren sollen.
Logistik 5.0 nach dem Vorbild von Amazon.
Da ist das Hamburger Logistik-Startup Cargonexx schon weiter. Dieses will mit der Unterstützung von Künstlicher Intelligenz eine neue Ära des Strassentransports einleiten. Ziel ist mehr Transparenz auf dem undurchsichtigen Logistikmarkt, die Vermeidung von umweltschädlichen Leerfahrten und das Erzielen eines optimalen Preises für die beteiligten Spediteure. Kernstück des Geschäftsmodells, das sich von herkömmlichen Frachtenbörsen deutlich unterscheidet, ist ein selbst lernender Algorithmus. Dieser ermittelt den optimalen Preis für einen Transportauftrag und stellt ihn auf einer Matching-Plattform zur Verfügung.
Dabei berücksichtigt die Künstliche Intelligenz über eine Million historische Tourendaten und rund 400 verschiedene Parameter – etwa Jahreszeit, Wochentag, Wetterbedingungen oder eine aktuelle Grossveranstaltung. Diese Parameter hängen natürlich voneinander ab und beeinflussen sich gegenseitig. Das macht die ganze Sache sehr komplex. Mithilfe von Maschinellem Lernen verbessert sich der Algorithmus immer weiter und ist nach Einschätzung der Gründer «wohl erst in ein bis zwei Jahren ganz ausgereift».
Entwicklung steht in der Transportbranche am Anfang.
In seiner aktuellen Studie «Artificial intelligence: the next digital frontier» stellt auch das McKinsey Global Institute fest: «Wir stehen in der Entwicklung der Künstlichen Intelligenz zwar noch am Anfang – doch auch traditionelle Unternehmen sollten sich jetzt auf die Anwendungsfelder konzentrieren, in denen sie mit ihrer Hilfe Kosten einsparen und neue Umsatzpotenziale erschliessen können». Diese gelte auch für die Transportbranche.
Der 34. Deutsche Logistik-Kongress vom 25. bis 27. Oktober in Berlin greift diesen Trend auf und nimmt auf der Veranstaltung unter dem Motto «Neues denken – Digitales leben» das Thema genauer unter die Lupe. «Künstliche Intelligenz, Analytik und Machine Learning werden die Prozesse entlang der Wertschöpfungskette smarter und letztlich effektiver machen. Ausfallzeiten und die Zahl der Wartungen lassen sich minimieren», heisst es in der Einladung. Wir sind gespannt.

Samuel Joseph ROBINSON "Robbo" Bombardier 25108328 5th Regiment Royal Artillery died while on foot patrol in Sangin on Thursday 8th July 2010 aged 31
Short Extract from MOD
Bombardier Samuel Joseph Robinson, 31 years old from Carmarthen, joined the Army on 23 November 1999 aged 20. He transferred from 13 Air Assault Support Regiment, Royal Logistic Corps in 2006 as a parachute-trained corporal, and joined 4/73 (Sphinx) Special Observation Post Battery, 5th Regiment Royal Artillery.
In March 2008, after successfully passing the Patrol Course he was selected as a Royal Artillery Special Observer.
Bombardier Robinson was deployed on his fourth operational tour in Afghanistan. On a previous deployment he had been a member of the Brigade Reconnaissance Force and played an active part in Op PANCHAI PALANG in June 2009.
He deployed to Afghanistan in May 2010 as a specialist advisor to provide support to Combined Force Sangin from Forward Operating Base Wishtan.
Bombardier Robinson was the second in command of a Surveillance and Target Acquisition Patrol from 4/73 (Sphinx) Special Observation Post Battery Royal Artillery. On 8 July 10, Bombardier Robinson was on a local area patrol with members of A Company, 1st Battalion The Mercian Regiment (Cheshire) to ensure freedom of movement for locals, and International Security and Assistance Forces in Sangin, when he was killed by an explosion from an improvised explosive device (IED).
A physical training instructor, ‘Robbo’ kept himself very fit. A fish in the water, the current 2 Div swimming champion, and a gazelle over land, Bombardier Robinson was never happier than when hill walking in the Welsh mountains, putting his Mountain Leader skills to the test.
All members of 5th Regiment Royal Artillery, especially those in 4/73 (Sphinx) Special Observation Post Battery will miss him immensely. We will remember him.
The family of Bombardier Samuel Joseph Robinson have made the following statement:
Sam was doing the job that he loved and was proud to be doing it. We are all very proud of him and we will miss him forever.
Lieutenant Colonel Richard Hayhurst RA, Commanding Officer 5th Regiment Royal Artillery, said:
Bombardier Robinson was one of the first to step forward for this particularly difficult task even though he had just returned from Op HERRICK 10.
This courageous man held the respect of all that knew him; his strength of character, professionalism, and outright robustness made him a force to be reckoned with, and he was the perfect role model for the rest of the Regiment and in particular the young members of 4/73 Battery.
He was special and will be sorely missed. His tragic loss has come as a shock to us all and my greatest sympathy goes out to his family and to his friends. This wreath was laid on the 4th October 2014 at the Armed Forces Mamorial, National Memorial Arboretum, Alrewas, Staffordshire at the Ride to the Wall event.

Work is well underway on Sky Waka, the new high-speed gondola at Whakapapa on New Zealand’s North Island, with the team facing ever-changing logistical challenges with engineering specifications, getting materials on-site, and the physical construction process.
Lack of access over unique volcanic terrain adds to the complexity of this project. Even transporting concrete from the truck to the construction site has required some out of the box thinking.
“Conventional concrete trucks drive part way up the mountain and are then replaced with a trailer concrete mixing bowl with a 3.5 cubic metre capacity” says Whakapapa General Manager, Jono Dean.
“The concrete is then transferred onto a purpose built aerial material ropeway system that then transfers the loads to the locations required in the mid mountain. To date, 400 of the 1100 tonnes required for this project has been transported.”
The Swiss engineered ropeway can transport up to 5 tonnes of equipment and materials without relying on helicopter use, which can be restricted due to weather conditions. At over 1000m in length with towers up to 34m tall, it is the first of its kind in NZ to be constructed for the purpose of building a passenger ropeway on a ski field.
“We’ve had amazing luck with weather this summer, which has got the project off to a great start but being up a mountain conditions could change rapidly and affect the project timeline.”
The construction of the 14 tower foundations to support the new Sky Waka gondola line are nearly complete and work is underway on the terminal stations where people will get on and off the gondola.
Italian based company Leitner is supplying and installing the gondola, and General Manager David Ratcliffe says he’s excited to be involved in New Zealand’s largest gondola installation. “This project has presented unique challenges but work is progressing well and it’s exciting to be a part of such an iconic project.”
The fifty Sky Waka gondola cabins will feature floor to ceiling glass for breathtaking views, internal ski racks, audio and lighting and individual leather seats offering business-class luxury to passengers befitting of the UNESCO Dual World Heritage status of Whakapapa Ski Area. Each cabin accommodates 10 passengers and even the tallest skiers will be able to stand upright in the cabin with more than 2m of internal clearance.
The Sky Waka will run from the Top of the Bruce base area directly to the award-winning Knoll Ridge Café. It will transport 2,400 people per hour over the 1.8km in approximately 5 minutes.
Social and economic indicators for the gondola project are compelling, with a team of about 35 hands on people working on the project and another estimated 100 people contributing to the project behind the scenes, including a strong contingent of local employment from the area.
The gondola project has involved working closely with Ngati Tuwharetoa and DOC which has seen a significant reduction in the number of structures on the mountain, the new installation having less than half of the structures it replaces.
As a public benefit entity RAL invests its proceeds back into developing the mountain’s facilities and the new gondola forms part of the $100m reinvestment strategy announced by the RAL board in 2015.
Les travaux vont bon train sur Sky Waka, la nouvelle télécabine à haute vitesse de Whakapapa, sur l’île du Nord de la Nouvelle-Zélande. L’équipe est confrontée à des défis logistiques en constante évolution: spécifications techniques, mise en place des matériaux et processus de construction.
Le manque d'accès sur un terrain volcanique unique ajoute à la complexité de ce projet. Même le transport du béton du camion sur le chantier a nécessité une réflexion originale.
«Les camions en béton conventionnels roulent en partie sur la montagne et sont ensuite remplacés par un bol à béton d'une remorque d'une capacité de 3,5 mètres cubes», a déclaré Jono Dean, directeur général de Whakapapa.
«Le béton est ensuite transféré sur un système de remontée mécanique sur matériaux aériens spécialement conçu à cet effet, qui transfère ensuite les charges aux emplacements requis en moyenne montagne. À ce jour, 400 des 1 100 tonnes requises pour ce projet ont été transportées. ”
Les remontées mécaniques suisses peuvent transporter jusqu'à 5 tonnes d'équipements et de matériaux sans recourir à l'utilisation d'hélicoptères, ce qui peut être limité en raison des conditions météorologiques. Avec plus de 1000 m de long et des tours atteignant 34 m de haut, il s'agit du premier du genre en Nouvelle-Zélande à être construit dans le but de construire un téléphérique pour passagers sur un domaine skiable.
"Nous avons eu une chance incroyable avec la météo de cet été, ce qui a donné un bon départ au projet, mais être dans les conditions montagneuses pourrait changer rapidement et avoir une incidence sur le calendrier du projet."
La construction des 14 fondations de la tour pour soutenir la nouvelle gondole Sky Waka est presque terminée et des travaux sont en cours sur les gares terminales où les gens pourront monter et descendre de la télécabine.
Leitner, société italienne, fournit et installe la gondole. Le directeur général, David Ratcliffe, se dit ravi de participer à la plus grande installation de gondoles de Nouvelle-Zélande. "Ce projet a présenté des défis uniques, mais le travail avance bien et c’est excitant de faire partie d’un projet aussi emblématique."
Les cinquante cabines de la télécabine Sky Waka comprendront des baies vitrées offrant une vue époustouflante, des porte-skis internes, un système audio et d'éclairage ainsi que des sièges individuels en cuir offrant un luxe de classe affaires aux passagers, digne du statut de domaine de ski de Whakapapa classé au double patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. Chaque cabine peut accueillir 10 passagers et même les plus grands skieurs pourront se tenir debout dans la cabine avec plus de 2 m de dégagement interne.
Le Sky Waka ira de la base de Top of the Bruce au Knoll Ridge Café, un établissement primé. Il transportera 2 400 personnes par heure sur 1,8 km en 5 minutes environ.
Les indicateurs sociaux et économiques du projet de gondole sont convaincants, avec une équipe d'environ 35 personnes travaillant sur le projet et environ 100 personnes contribuant au projet en coulisse, y compris un fort contingent d'emplois locaux de la région.
Le projet de télécabine a impliqué une collaboration étroite avec Ngati Tuwharetoa et DOC, qui a enregistré une réduction significative du nombre de structures en montagne, la nouvelle installation remplaçant moins de la moitié des structures.
En tant qu’entité d’intérêt public, RAL réinvestit ses recettes dans le développement des installations de la montagne. La nouvelle télécabine fait partie de la stratégie de réinvestissement de 100 millions de dollars annoncée par le conseil d’administration de RAL en 2015.
