Transportation and logistics are constantly innovating , but this does not always mean only using advanced technology, but also using it to make the industry and the world a more optimal place.
According to data from the World Trade Organization , freight transportation represents 7% of global CO2 emissions , and is expected to increase by 50% by 2050.
Tranciti indicates that this represents a significant danger both for the environment and for people’s health; in turn negatively affecting the competitiveness and profitability of logistics companies.
“The demand for more sustainable practices without compromising operational efficiency is increasingly necessary; the key to achieving this balance lies in the integration of sustainability with the automation of the logistics chain,” said Fedora Cabal Wallis, commercial leader at Tranciti México. .
There are technologies such as warehouse management systems (WMS) that allow greater precision in inventory management and order preparation, reducing the risk of errors, thus reducing material waste and improving efficiency in the use of resources.
Automated systems facilitate more effective inventory management, minimizing overstock and the need for returns, which in turn reduces environmental impact. In addition, the incorporation of artificial intelligence solutions to optimize delivery routes helps considerably to reduce CO2 emissions.
The emission of carbon dioxide is the main source of greenhouse gases (GHG) worldwide, and as a member of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Mexico is committed to reporting on its greenhouse gas emissions. GHG.
Heavy vehicle manufacturers must reduce CO2 emissions from new vehicles by 15% until 2025, hoping that by 2030 the limit will be reduced by up to 30 percent.
“To promote green logistics it is necessary to invest in more efficient technologies and equipment, this ranges from updating the transport fleet with electric or hybrid vehicles, as well as the adoption of route management systems that reduce fuel consumption. “We seek to ensure that logistics companies find a balance between their operations and doing the least possible damage to the environment ,” stated the directive.
The ability to align sustainability with operational efficiency is a crucial competitive advantage in today’s market.
