On May 28, 2024, a group of business administration students from the “Production and Logistics Management” course at Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences visited BIBA. The aim of the visit was to familiarize the specialists and managers of tomorrow with the advanced technologies that will shape the future of production and logistics.

In two keynote speeches, we presented innovative logistics systems and the digital twin for supply chains, as well as the development of digital products and business models that are driving the current industrial revolution forward. The students also had the opportunity to experience various demonstrators with the latest technologies at first hand:

• The intelligent optimization of planning and control processes in port handling

• The use of drones for stocktaking and quality control in warehouses

• Interactive human-robot collaboration

• The Gaming Lab with the Learning Factory for demonstrating Industry 4.0 scenarios and a virtual reality training environment for maintaining electronic systems.

We look forward to further exchanges and ongoing dialog between Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences and BIBA.
