Theater ‘Healthy and Safe’ Warehouse

In the Healthy and Safe Warehouse theater, the founders of the Healthy and Safe Warehouse Code, evofenedex and BMWT, provide interactive workshops every day with various experts from the field. All are dominated by the ‘Healthy and Safe Warehouse Code’, which has been the standard for years when it comes to healthy and safe internal logistics. A secure warehouse is not only mandatory, but also extremely useful and efficient. Healthy employees and a process without accidents contribute significantly to the results and satisfaction of your employees. Complicated and expensive? On the contrary! So sign up quickly!

Topsector Logistic Theater

During Logistica Next and ICT & Logistics we share knowledge and experiences from innovation projects. Numerous innovations that make logistics smarter and more sustainable will be discussed during the various workshops of the congress. Because not innovating is not an option in logistics. During the conference, we want to offer companies with a logistics function, but also municipalities, knowledge institutions and other organizations concrete tools to get started with the knowledge and innovations that have emerged from the Top Sector Logistics.

We support and develop new knowledge, tools and solutions through innovation projects. For the future, but also with practical results for the short term. Modern IT systems make it possible to collect all kinds of valuable data. Where is your cargo located? Which products are almost sold out? And where are road works planned? Insights like this help you make predictions and organize your logistics processes more efficiently. Even more valuable is insight into the entire chain. For this it is essential to share data with partners. In a data environment and with good agreements, so that you know what you share. And who you share it with. Safe, efficient and automated. For example, we are working together on a data-driven logistics sector. Will you join us?

Logistics stands or falls with insight, transparency and correctness of information. There is still much to be gained in sharing data. It is not only a key to improving the chain process, but it also changes and transforms the roles of chain partners. That is why the Logistics Top Sector, together with TKI Dinalog, focuses on the processing and analysis of real-time data, the processing of forecasts and the development of associated business models.

Are you coming? Opportunities for collaboration in innovation. Join us!

Supply Chain Theater

For supply chain directors and managers, the annual Supply Chain Theater is the place to gain knowledge and contacts. The themes are in line with the issues you encounter every day. We present new insights, practical methods, useful tools and stimulating practical examples. Admission is completely free! Sign up though, because full = full.

Varied program

The speakers will discuss current themes such as strategy, supply chain planning, processes, chain collaboration, IT and data management. We present new trends and technological developments. Companies that are in the middle of practice share their experiences with the public. Between sessions there is plenty of time to meet up and network.

Admission is free, but reservation is required (reservation is not possible yet at the moment). In previous years, many sessions were quickly fully booked.

Personal advise from experts

Next to the theater you will find the BLMC stand. Here you can meet the experts and discuss your own issues.
The theater and the stand are located in the halls of ICT & Logistics.

The Supply Chain Theater is an initiative of BLMC, an agency for supply chain consultancy and interim management.
