Design and optimization of logistics concepts and locations

With our innovative concept "Design by Efficiency" we create holistic solutions for tactical/strategic tasks in the field of logistics in close coordination with our customers. Through the development of a digital twin, a quantitative evaluation of the concept takes place permanently throughout the course of the project, so that there is transparency at all times about the expected increases in efficiency and logistics costs.
