Editorial News
We present to your attention the 11th issue of the journal, in which we have tried to collect relevant and reliable information, ranging from classic supply chains to logistic innovations.
For those who are interested in innovations in the field of logistics, we recommend to read the article written in Comitas company on high-speed sorting systems, as well as the article written in the STILL company, which shares its experience in automating the new European distribution center of the CASA furniture store network.
As you know, logistics, acting as an indicator of economic phenomena in the country and in the world, seeks to optimize the costs and improve the efficiency of business processes. Today, this trend is most clearly seen and companies are striving to get really working tools for efficient logistics management. CeMAT RUSSIA 2018 exhibition (we inform about its results on the pages of the tenth issue), as well as the LOGISTICS journal, which helps find various technological and organizational solutions for optimizing logistic processes in companies, can be considered to be such tools.
The events of recent weeks demonstrate high business activity in the field of logistics. This is confirmed by the emergence of new non-standard events, such as the first Congress of Managers and Specialists in Logistics and Supply Chains of Manufacturers and Retailers, participants and partners of the Council of Supply Chain Professionals, as well as the first Russian Forum – "Logistics Leaders 2018" where the leaders of international and Russian companies gathered.

Branch grows thanks to Industrie 4.0
The signs are set for growth: in 2016, the German intralogistics providers achieved an estimated production volume of €20.8 billion (an increase of one percent compared to 2015). "Despite continuing global volatility in international political and economic framework conditions, there is a clear increase in the demand for Industrie 4.0-capable products. Here the German manufacturers convince the market with their high standards of technology and quality in international competition", explains Dr. Klaus-Dieter Rosenbach, Chairman of the VDMA Materials Handling and Intralogistics Association. For the current year 2017, the VDMA Materials Handling and Intralogistics Association is expecting to see growth of three percent on average, with differing rates of development possible in individual sub-branches.
Need for connected solutions
The demand for modern, viable intralogistics is particularly high in the European internal market. Nearly 60% of the total export volume generated by German intralogistics providers goes to other European countries. The German manufacturers increased their exports by 6% to 8.5 billion Euro.
"Industrie 4.0 meanwhile acts like a huge magnet in the European internal market. More and more companies are investing in connected technologies for their production and the associated logistics. This is reflected in the order books of German manufacturers supplying the corresponding solutions", says Rosenbach. Demand in the customer branches such as the automotive industry or e-Commerce remains on a high level. "Together with growth in online retailing, increasingly connected production processes are triggering changes in material flows and supply chains. It takes smart intralogistics to manage these changes", says Rosenbach.
International business
Altogether 2016 saw a slight decline in exports by German intralogistics manufacturers, amounting to a volume of 13.5 billion Euro which is 2% less than in 2015. The key trading partner is still the USA, purchasing goods valued at 1,072 million Euro, followed by France with 898 million Euro in second place and the United Kingdom with 763 million Euro in third place. On the other hand, China slipped back to sixth place with a 28% decline in exports during 2016. "One reason for this is that many German manufacturers meanwhile have their own production facilities in China. On the other hand, there is also a greater trend for Chinese manufacturers to serve their domestic market than in the past", explains Sascha Schmel, Managing Director of the VDMA Association for Materials Handling and Intralogistics.
