Current trends
The platform economy of the future will be characterized by a variety and coexistence of different logistics and industrial B2B platforms - the Silicon Economy. Logistics companies of all sizes will then have the opportunity to fully automate their business activities - from ordering and transportation to invoicing. In the development projects, logistics services are developed for practical use and made available as open source. The services are developed by interdisciplinary teams in agile development processes. In addition, the accompanying research creates the necessary conditions for the efficient introduction and further development of logistics applications for practical use.
