BMW won this year’s German Logistics Award, which is given by BVL, the German logistics association, at an event at last week’s German Logistics Congress in Berlin. The carmaker received the prize for its Logistics Next projects, which employ Industry 4.0 technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous transport systems used to support production at BMW plants in Germany. BMW said the focus of Logistics Next was on the use of logistics robots and digitalisation for an end-to-end supply chain governed by four key principles: autonomy, transparency, networking and collaboration.
