Transporeon rolls out Carbon Visibility tool

Posted on by David Priestman

After successful Alpha and Beta stages, Transporeon – a leading European Transportation Management Platform – is rolling out its pioneering Carbon Visibility tool to all customers worldwide.

Through an automatic update on the Transporeon platform, every Transporeon customer will now have access to functionality that can transparently and efficiently measure, reduce, report and benchmark the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from their transports. This value-added service is provided as an integral part of all transports executed and processed via Transporeon and is accessible to all customers on its platform

Any transports from third-party sources can also be uploaded to the platform in order to have all global transports reported in a single source of the truth. Transporeon’s Carbon Visibility dashboard calculates CO2 emissions across all modalities and transport flows.

Transporeon says the benefits of its Carbon Visibility Dashboard include:

  • An holistic four-step approach enables measuring, benchmarking, reducing and reporting in parallel
  • Calculation builds on real-time and primary data, making Transporeon the first provider of primary data for CO2 calculation on the market at large scale
  • An interactive dashboard and actionable insights in one application
  • Automated measurement of Scope 3 emissions well-to-wheel, bottom-up, transport by transport, fully compliant with the GLEC framework

“The accurate tracking and reporting of current emissions – along with the ability to manage future emissions – is vital to enabling a more sustainable supply chain. For quick progress on the road to climate-neutral commercial transport, digitalisation will be a game-changer,” says Transporeon’s CEO Stephan Sieber. “All our customers require visibility on their carbon emissions, with the addition of this vital feature we’re giving all customers in our network the ability to make smarter, ‘greener’ decisions based on real-time, accurate data.

New release is “cutting edge” of voice technology

Posted on by David Priestman
  • With the release of the new LYDIA Voice 9, Ehrhardt Partner Group (EPG) says it is extending its technological leadership in the voice industry. The latest version of the innovative voice solution now offers an additional unique feature, recognising multiple languages in real time and in parallel.

    This is made possible thanks to multithreading, which enables voice recognition to be processed in parallel on numerous processor cores. The way in which computing power is distributed also ensures even greater voice recognition while also saving energy and allowing for a more efficient use of hardware.

    With LYDIA Voice 9, EPG says it is once again underlining its role as a technological leader in the voice industry. The main feature of the new release is its multi-language recognition. LYDIA Voice is now capable of recognising multiple languages in parallel and in real time – a unique innovation on the voice market. This new development has been made possible thanks to multithreading, which enables several processor cores to be used simultaneously.

    Since version 8, LYDIA Voice has worked on the basis of neural networks and deep learning. For the first time, this new release enables numerous neural networks to be used in parallel to process voice recognition. This results in even quicker and more accurate voice recognition. LYDIA Voice is now also capable of recognising several languages in parallel.

    Multi-language recognition

    “LYDIA Voice now recognises several languages at the same time,” says Tim Just, CEO Voice Solutions. “While the solutions of other providers require users to undergo complex voice training, LYDIA Voice has not required any voice training at all for a number of years now. And now our solution is immediately able to recognise several languages at the same time. This means that the onboarding process is even quicker for non-native speakers and they can be deployed more flexibly.”

    The advanced voice recognition capabilities offer a great number of advantages. Order pickers who have not yet mastered the local language have the option of simply working in their own mother tongue. As there are no language barriers, they can work productively right away and can be deployed quicker for various voice-led processes.

    With LYDIA Voice 9, EPG has laid the foundation to use modern hardware as effectively as possible. Thanks to multithreading, computing power can be optimally distributed across several processor cores. This leads to a reduced energy consumption of the devices being used.

    “LYDIA Voice 9 enables modern hardware platforms to exploit their full potential and achieve maximum computing power thanks to the seamless interaction between software and hardware – and all this with optimised energy management,” explains Just.

    EPG has also developed what it describes as the perfect hardware for LYDIA Voice in the shape of the new VOXTER Vantage VT5 mobile voice computer. In addition to high-performance components, the VOXTER Vantage VT5 comes equipped with the voice-optimised enterprise operating system Android Industrial+ and guarantees additional benefits in terms of voice recognition performance, data security and WiFi performance. The overall package offers three times faster voice recognition than previous versions.

    Moreover, EPG continues to ensure hardware independence for LYDIA Voice 9, as multi-language recognition is also supported with the devices of other manufacturers. This means that customers still enjoy maximum flexibility when choosing their hardware.

    Expanded language portfolio

    The new LYDIA Voice 9 release is rounded off by an expansion of its language portfolio, which now includes more than 50 directly available languages.

    “Our aim is to offer the best overall package on the voice market. In the last 12 months alone, more than 20,000 voice users made the switch from various other solutions to LYDIA Voice. Customers from across the world have reported productivity increases of 7-15% after switching from other voice systems to LYDIA Voice. We are confident that with LYDIA Voice 9, we have reached another milestone in the development of voice solutions – and will continue this successful trend in future,” Just adds.

Clark sends baby food to Ukraine

Posted on by David Priestman

In a joint aid campaign, Clark Material Handling International, Korea, Clark Material Handling Company, USA and Clark Europe, Germany donated baby food worth a total of €100,000 to Ukraine. This donation campaign was organised by the Korean parent company YoungAn and the Clark Europe headquarters in Duisburg. With this donation in kind, the Clark Family wants to ensure that the aid is not only quickly available on site, but also arrives where it is most urgently needed.

Clark Europe put together the relief supplies and organised the transport in cooperation with Rullko Großeinkauf GmbH & Co. KG, a wholesaler and food supplier for community catering and gastronomy based in Hamm. On 23 June 2022, a lorry with a total of 33 pallets of baby food – around 42,650 items – set off from Hamm for Slovakia. From there, the food was taken to Ukraine.

To ensure that this went smoothly, the Korean YoungAN established contact with the National Olympic Committee (NOC). The Slovak Olympic and Sports Committee, in cooperation with Malteser Hilfswerk, took care of the distribution of the relief supplies to the affected families in Ukraine.

Rolf Eiten, President & CEO Clark Europe, said: “The ongoing war in Ukraine is causing untold suffering for the local population. We at Clark are very happy to be able to make a contribution to supporting the Ukrainian families with our food donation. However, we would like nothing more urgently than to see a cessation of hostilities in Ukraine as soon as possible.”

Trans.eu launches private freight exchange

Posted on by David Priestman

Logistics platform Trans.eu has developed a new haulage freight exchange, called Private Freight Exchange, which enables freight forwarders to invite hauliers to their own secure and private digital space, communicating directly with their trusted transport service providers.

The platform, which speeds up communication between forwarders and hauliers that have already established a positive working relationship, was developed by Trans.eu in direct response to customer demand.

For large forwarders, Trans.eu has also developed the Corporate Freight Exchange, which enables the management of freight allocation and service providers across a corporation’s network.

“With our new Private Freight Exchange platform, we are closing the gap between the contract and spot markets,” said Aleksandra Marszałek (pictured), Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Western Europe, Trans.eu.

“With the solution, freight forwarders and shippers can quickly and easily set up a private freight exchange with their individual haulier network and use our proven tools for efficient cooperation.”

Hauliers registered on the Trans.eu platform can also use its Loads2Go mobile app, which greatly improves communication by providing easy access to freight offers and the ability to respond rapidly from any location.

Trans.eu can expand a client’s Private Freight Exchange database to include any number of trusted hauliers.

The platform helps to actively onboard hauliers and proposes transport companies that operate on the requested routes and meet set security criteria. Furthermore, parameters for largely automated freight assignments can also be stored in the Private Freight Exchange.

Trans.eu developed Private Freight Exchange in reaction to the increasing demand from forwarders for greater security, digitisation and the need to be able to conduct freight offer processes in a non-public arena.

Trans.eu also identified that hauliers were more willing to do business with a forwarder they already know.

“Private Freight Exchange is a solution that we developed after a thorough analysis of our customers’ needs,” said Marcin Haładuda, Global Business Development Manager, Trans.eu.

“We are convinced that the private freight exchange can not only solve problems such as working with unknown contractors and slow email/telephone based communication but also boost the ability of European haulage to operate in a far more sustainable way.”

Private Freight Exchange also allows market price comparison and can easily interface with existing transport management systems eradicating the need for any manual data inputting.
