On the occasion of today's assembly in Rome of Federlogistica-Conftrasporto the outgoing president of the federation, Luigi Merlo, who today passed the baton to his successor Davide Falteri, highlighted the role of logistics as a driver of the national economic system, stressing that it is not There is only one logistics, but many logistics capable of standing up to problem solver of issues often prisoners of apparatuses and lack of application of innovation. Exist- explained - a logistics of infrastructure, a logistics of the Freight transport, mobility logistics in city centres warehouse logistics, distribution logistics, and many Other.

"Logistics - agreed in his speech the president of Confcommercio, Carlo Sangalli - is the main and the only keystone, not a keystone, but a turning point, for the development of markets and companies. If the country wants and must grow - he Survey - Digitalisation and innovation projects focused on logistics and therefore on mobility of goods and people, represent a determining factor and essential". "Logistics," Sangalli added is a crucial element in "connecting" economies and Territories. And I am also thinking of ports that today are not just ports of call but energy hubs, digital crossroads and key hubs for the mobility and tourism, increasingly central to the our country. Get the right product, at the price and at the right time, exactly to the right customer, is a challenge really complex". According to the president of Confcommercio, "Digitalisation does not mark a decrease in importance of logistics. Digitalisation and technologies of artificial intelligence - he said - can be the tools to speed up processes in terms of organization and potential to the sector. Digitalization means Optimize processes, reduce waste, anticipate needs of the market. All the more so in a time like ours, characterized by the continuous alternation of crisis after crisis, which they require prediction, speed and precision in responses."

Referring to new technologies, Merlo noted that, in order to Italy, artificial intelligence could prove essential in the next five or six years in which, as has already happened for the motorway sector (and it still happens today) the large transport and mobility infrastructures for goods and people will go under stress for hundreds of open construction sites, finalized to the construction of the new works partly envisaged in the PNRR. And In this, as in other cases - specified the outgoing president by Federlogistica - the central theme becomes how to build the models to which AI will have to provide answers by predicting operational indications.
