Logistics is contributing 24% to GHG in Europe, and 29% in North America. And, as we have experienced during Covid, the just-in-time supply chain is very complex and has led to delayed deliveries and breakdowns. Therefore, it is time to re-think the supply chain to make it more resilient against crises and reduce their impact on greenhouse gas. A sustainable supply chain goes hand in hand with efficiency and is increasingly demanded by consumers. Consider the following examples:

• A full truck load or container results in a lower GHG balance per good than half a load
• An optimized delivery route will reduce the total distance covered and thus reduce GHG
• The delivery of the correct good or precision quality raw material in the first place will reduce the return or discard quota, resulting in lower GHG as well
• Prioritization of regional vendors and solutions leads to a smaller GHG footprint, increased resilience, and is demanded by a growing number of consumers
• Detecting & Recognizing trucks before docking and preparing the goods to the gate can save a few minutes of loading time, making supply chain more efficient which leads to lowering GHG
• Detecting goods and their volume accurately to allow for most efficient container loading
