Siemens Digital Industries Software presents innovations for the digital planning and control of supply chains and their crisis-resistant orchestration at transport logistic 2025 in Munich from June 2 to 5. According to the company, the digitalization specialist will showcase, among other things, solutions for automated transport planning, the use of the Digital Twin as an optimization tool in supply chain management, and a control tower that allows production and delivery processes to be synchronized in real time.

"At transport logistic 2025, Siemens presents scalable IT solutions that enable industrial and logistics companies to manage their logistics and supply chain networks efficiently and sustainably – especially in view of current and future challenges," says Volker Albrecht, CEO of Siemens Digital Logistics.

According to a press release, the solutions presented include the "AX4 Transport Optimizer," which automates and optimizes complex tasks such as shipment grouping, route planning, and cost management using advanced algorithms. The transport planning, based on vehicle configurations, thus takes into account parameters such as weight, volume, and number of pallets, as well as variable and fixed cost structures. Modern algorithms enable the automated creation of cost-optimized transport plans, even for multi-stop transports with multiple pick-up and delivery locations. An optional real-time data integration is possible, allowing dynamic adjustment of transport plans. This allows companies to respond flexibly to changing conditions and requirements.

Solutions for Robust Supply Chains

Additionally, Siemens plans to showcase practical solutions for robust and cost-efficient supply chains in industry and commerce at the transport logistic event. Dynamic planning tools like the Digital Twin are employed in this initiative. According to the provider, the "Supply Chain Suite" enables the analysis and simulation of various scenarios. This allows for detailed exploration and forecasting of procurement strategies and network configurations before their operational implementation. In combination with "Opcenter Intraplant Logistics" (IPL), the optimization potentials extend from the supply chain to the warehouse.

Digital solutions such as the Control Tower from Siemens Digital Logistics are designed to ensure seamless transparency across all production and logistics processes. According to the provider, the system aggregates and consolidates data across systems, allowing seamless synchronization of production and logistics processes. With its capabilities in supply chain transparency, the Control Tower also forms an ideal ecosystem for implementing a functioning circular economy.
