Opturion

On Tuesday, Alan Dormer, Managing Director of Opturion, had the opportunity to attend the Digital Transformation in Logistics event hosted by Logistics UK. One of the standout sessions for him was the presentation on Digital Innovation Today, featuring insightful contributions from Francesca Cesare Pintorno (Innovate UK), Nigel Rouch (XPO Logistics), Chris Lane (Transport for West Midlands), and Katherine Skidmore (Unipart). Their perspectives highlighted the current landscape of digital innovation in the logistics sector. Throughout the event, a variety of critical issues were addressed, including the need for increased investment in digital solutions, despite the challenges of securing funding in a low-margin sector. The discussion also touched on how much technology is already deployed across the industry, yet emphasized that there’s significant potential for better integration. Other key themes included the intersection of automation and digitisation, managing risks such as cybersecurity and project delivery, change management, and the evolving needs of a workforce increasingly reliant on technicians and engineers due to greater automation. While the event covered many important topics, two areas that could have benefited from deeper exploration were improving back-office efficiency alongside shop floor operations, and the challenges of change management when dealing with customers and suppliers. Overall, the event provided valuable insights into the opportunities and challenges facing the logistics sector as it navigates digital transformation. #DigitalTransformation #Logistics #Automation #ChangeManagement #Innovation #SupplyChain #CyberSecurity #Opturion
