Give 3 examples related to logistics for digitalisation.
A
Digitization: The process of changing the storage medium for data, moving from physical formats like records and tapes to digital storage, as seen in platforms like Spotify or Apple Music.
Digitalization: Embracing digitized data and digital tools to enhance processes and daily life. Examples include:
- Automated Warehouses: The logistics industry is moving towards fully or semi-automated warehouses, reducing reliance on manual processes.
- Gamification: Incorporating game-like elements such as points, rewards, and leaderboards into work environments, often using augmented reality to motivate and guide workers.
- Internet of Things (IoT): Objects connected to the internet can communicate and share information, enabling technologies like self-driving cars, drones, and efficient data exchange, particularly relevant in transportation and logistics.
These trends signify a shift toward increased reliance on digital technologies for various aspects of business and daily life.
