In the ambition to reduce environmental impact, more sustainable transport and logistics solutions are being developed across the supply chain. This has led to increased use of loose loaded containers, reduced packaging materials to minimize waste, heavier bulk products, and more intensive use of warehouse space. While these developments support sustainability goals, they also create growing ergonomic challenges for employees in logistics operations.
This challenge focuses on finding solutions that improve the situation in a safer, more social and more sustainable way. ID Logistics wants to take a leading role in combining environmental responsibility with a safe and secure working environment. Students are invited to explore how automated or other innovative solutions can help reduce physical strain, improve ergonomics and support employees, while maintaining efficient and sustainable logistics processes.
The goal is to develop ideas that balance sustainability, operational efficiency and employee wellbeing, and that help ID Logistics move toward a future proof logistics environment.
The desired outcome of this challenge is a practical and cost efficient solution, presented in the form of a convincing elevator pitch, that improves ergonomics within logistics operations and helps reverse the current negative trend. The solution should contribute to a safer and more secure working environment, reduce physical strain for employees, and support ID Logistics in combining sustainability goals with operational efficiency and employee wellbeing.
