Logistics Cyclists raise £225,000 for Transaid

Posted on by David Priestman

The transport and logistics industry has successfully fielded two strong teams of riders to complete Transaid cycle challenges both in the UK and Kenya, raising more than £225,000 towards our projects in sub-Saharan Africa.

Last week a team of 30 pedalled 295 miles from the foothills of Mount Kenya to stunning Lake Victoria in just six days, raising an incredible £165,000 in Transaid’s first cycling fundraiser in the country. This followed just two and a half weeks after a separate group of 40 riders raised £60,000 for a demanding 159-mile, two-day ride battling the elements, from Newcastle to Edinburgh.

The unrestricted funds will be used to support Transaid’s life-saving road safety and access to healthcare projects, which currently span ten countries.

Maddy Matheson, Head of Fundraising for Transaid, says: “Ever since our first Cycle Challenge in Malawi, back in 2006, we’ve enjoyed excellent support from riders across the industry, and this year was no different. We had two fantastic groups, each passionate about our life-saving work. We are so grateful to everyone who participated, whether they were in the saddle, or sponsoring a friend, family member or colleague.”

Peter Whitehead, Managing Director at PF Whitehead Logistics, one of the riders taking part in Cycle Kenya and challenge sponsor, explains: “It was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure with a great group of people. I feel very fortunate to have been able to participate, and the opportunity to visit a country where Transaid works brought home the true impact of their road safety and access to health care programmes. I would honestly recommend it to anyone considering signing up for a future ride.”

Participants of the Newcastle to Edinburgh event represented 15 organisations from across the industry, including AAL Shipping, Backhouse Jones, Brigade Electronics, Cold Chain Federation, Columbia Shipmanagement, Dawsongroup Truck and Trailer, Edrington, Elddis Transport, EORI, GXO, Idris Logistics, IVECO, RHA, Stanley Travel, and The Malcolm Group, and was sponsored by Dawsongroup Truck and Trailer, with Stanley Travel providing coach transfers for the group.

Parcel+Post Expo 2024: Advanced Robotics Solutions Unveiled

Posted on by David Priestman

After attending the Parcel+Post Expo in Amsterdam, it was made clear, once again, that automation and robotics are central to the future of logistics and e-commerce. The event, which ran until the 24th October, showcased a wide range of innovations aimed at addressing the growing challenges in these sectors, such as increasing parcel volumes and the need for faster, more sustainable operations. Companies from around the world introduced solutions leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotics to improve sorting, handling, and warehousing processes.

Among the many notable presentations were the robotics solutions unveiled by Angelini Technologies – Fameccanica. The company introduced three standout systems—Papick, Depax, and ItPick—all designed to improve efficiency, accuracy, and sustainability in logistics operations. Alessandro Bulfon, CEO of Angelini Technologies – Fameccanica, emphasized the strategic importance of these innovations, stating, “The machines that we have chosen to present at Parcel+Post Expo are representative of the contribution that we can make to the logistics and e-commerce sector with our consolidated know-how. Thanks to their modular nature, speed, precision, and ability to integrate, they can certainly also make an important contribution in terms of efficiency and sustainability of industrial processes applied to logistics.”

new automation and robotics

Papick, a highly efficient automated sorting system, captured attention for its ability to process up to 1,800 parcels per hour with over 98% accuracy, thanks to AI-driven 3D vision and barcode reading technologies. This solution addresses the rising demand for faster and more accurate parcel sorting, particularly within e-commerce and postal sorting centers. Depax, the company’s depalletizing platform, was another key highlight. It uses advanced machine vision to manage the unpredictable nature of palletized goods, processing up to 600 packages per hour and handling weights up to 30 kg. Depax promises to significantly reduce manual labor in warehouses while increasing productivity.

Lastly, ItPick, a modular robotic picking solution, was designed to help streamline order fulfillment and warehouse operations. With its ability to adapt to different layouts and perform both simple and complex picking tasks, ItPick showcased how automation can be flexible and scalable, crucial for industries that need to meet fluctuating demand.

These systems not only enhance efficiency and precision but also represent the broader shift toward sustainable practices within logistics. By automating key tasks and integrating AI-powered systems, companies like Angelini Technologies – Fameccanica are driving greater productivity while reducing waste and energy consumption in logistics operations.

The trends seen at the Parcel+Post Expo reflect the logistics industry’s rapid evolution. As e-commerce continues to grow, businesses are turning to innovative technologies that offer both scalability and sustainability, preparing for a future where automation will play an increasingly dominant role.

Dematic invites food retail professionals and experts to its upcoming hybrid event, “What’s in Store for Europe’s Food Retail” on Thursday, 26 October at Dematic UK headquarters in Adderbury (90 minutes from London).

The international award-winning author, speaker, campaigner and expert on the environmental and the social impacts of food, Tristram Stuart, is guest speaker.

“Both the food & beverage and grocery industries are experiencing many shifts within their business models stemming, in part, from consumer behaviours that emerged during the pandemic as well as some more recent developments and we feel there is no better time than now for customers to future-proof operations,” says Simon Barnwell vice president & Market Leader UK&I at Dematic, adding, “Changing delivery expectations, growing product varieties, ongoing inflation and remaining supply chain glitches are having a profound impact on the bottom lines of companies large and small, and we feel that automation is the solution to many of these challenges.”

With this EMEA-wide event, Dematic offers an ideal setting both onsite and online to discuss and learn more about current trends, specific challenges, and innovative solutions. There will also be time to network with industry professionals.

The event kicks off with a look at current trends and where food retail is heading. Danielle Dakin, a global market development director at Dematic, discusses the importance of having an omnichannel strategy and the roles of software and an agile network within the strategy. An executive from Tesco is scheduled to share insights on the supermarket chain’s automation journey and its future strategy for e-commerce growth.

On-site participants as well as individuals attending online will be given a guided virtual tour of a major European supermarket chain’s automated facilities. The event will be broadcast live online and participation in the event is free of charge.

The event gets underway at 10:30 am CET and is scheduled to wrap up at 1:30 pm CET. All presentations are in English but with several simultaneous language options offered. Though the event is free of charge, participation is limited. For those attending online, participants can receive live support from Dematic experts during the presentations.

IAA TRANSPORTATION attracts full halls

Posted on by Keith McKinley

The first IAA TRANSPORTATION exhibition ended extremely successfully on Sunday. Organisers, visitors and exhibitors were very satisfied with the new concept, which this year covered the entire transport and logistics spectrum.

1,402 exhibitors from 42 countries and a total of 230 national and international speakers were represented at IAA TRANSPORTATION and they presented their technical innovations, developments and concepts for tomorrow’s climate-neutral mobility.

“Following on from IAA MOBILITY, we have successfully developed and reinvented IAA TRANSPORTATION. We are now exhibiting the entire logistics spectrum, ranging from trucks to cargo bikes and delivery vans to parcel drones. This courage has paid off as the tremendous response from exhibitors and visitors showed that our new approach was the right way to go,” said VDA president Hildegard Müller at the close of IAA TRANSPORTATION in Hanover.

“Transport and logistics are the lifelines of our society and economy. The new IAA TRANSPORTATION concept has provided answers to the many challenges that the industry is now facing throughout the world. It became clear in Hanover that: our industry is delivering what is needed for a sustainable future.”

IAA TRANSPORTATION shines out through its Internationality

IAA TRANSPORTATION 2022 once again consolidated its position as the world’s largest platform for the transport and logistics industry – around two-thirds of the exhibitors were international companies. Visitors came from 72 countries.

The many global innovations that were presented here all focused on the electrification and climate neutrality of the drive train. The vehicle manufacturers presented a huge variety of electric and fuel cell-based drives as well as hydrogen combustion engines. New and also a trend: Replacement kits that enable the diesel drives fitted in buses and trucks to be replaced by a new battery drive system. This concept will enable haulage companies and local transport companies to modernise their existing vehicle fleets during ongoing operations.

Bodywork and trailer exhibitors also presented a wide range of innovations that included electrified trailer axles and more especially, lightweight trailers that will reduce a tractor’s energy requirements. The bus manufacturers focused on the electrification of intercity buses and coaches.

“Our industry is resolutely driving forward the biggest transformation in its history and this is also making an important contribution towards solving the challenges that society is facing,” said Müller. “The message from Hanover is this: We have the competence and the will to combine better logistics with more climate protection. The transport and logistics industry is now putting their innovations on the road – the climate neutrality mission is now in full swing.”

IAA TRANSPORTATION welcomed a total of more than 1,400 journalists from 57 countries. The exhibitors organised 89 press conferences. International media from 97 countries accounted for 77 percent of the coverage. Posts on social media channels were viewed more than 2 million times. Apart from Germany, there was very intensive exhibition reporting about the exhibition in the USA, Canada, India, Japan, China and South Korea.

Our exhibitors in detail: A total of 1,402 exhibitors presented themselves at IAA TRANSPORTATION 2022 and nearly two-thirds of them were international companies. 260 of them were exhibiting bodies, trailers and semi-trailers and there were nearly 600 suppliers as well. 68 international start-ups were also present in Hanover for the first time. Six cargo bike manufacturers also presented their new products, making an important contribution to low-emissions and city-friendly logistics.

The majority of the visitors rated IAA TRANSPORTATION’S new concept very positively. In particular, the range of innovations, the new models and the internationality of the exhibitors were rated as extremely good. Above all, the opportunity to try out new products for yourself proved to be very popular: IAA Test Drives, which was one of the experience formats, was given top marks by three-quarters of the visitors.

Around 7,500 test rides took place as part of IAA Test Drives and IAA Cargobike Parcours. A total of 61 commercial vehicles could be tried out as part of IAA Test Drives and the entire test operation was carried out in a climate-neutral way. Visitors could test the latest models under real conditions on the IAA Cargobike Parcours. The rush for the test drives was great and many test drives were fully booked out.

The next IAA TRANSPORTATION will take place in Hanover from the 17th to 22nd September 2024 (press day on September 16th 2024).
