Brains Behind the Boxes: AI’s Big Takeover in Logistics
AI is taking the driver’s seat in logistics — automating warehouses, predicting demand, and cutting delivery times. It’s not just moving boxes; it’s making every move smarter. This panel will delve into how AI is transforming logistics operations, enhancing efficiency, and driving innovation across the supply chain.
Cold Chain Logistics: Managing Temperature-Sensitive Shipments in Harsh Climates
In the GCC’s extreme climate, getting cold chain logistics right is critical — especially for pharmaceuticals, perishables, and high-value goods. This panel unpacks the technologies, infrastructure, and operational practices that ensure temperature integrity across every leg of the journey, from first mile to final delivery.
The Race to Net Zero: Can Logistics Go Green and Still Deliver?
The race to net zero is on — but can logistics deliver without compromising the planet? In this panel, we’ll explore how the industry is tackling sustainability challenges, from green fleets to carbon-neutral solutions, while still meeting the demand for speed and efficiency.
Cross-Docking vs. Traditional Warehousing: What Works Best in the GCC?
As speed and space efficiency become top priorities, logistics leaders must rethink warehouse models. This panel explores the pros and cons of cross-docking versus conventional storage — and how each approach performs under the unique conditions and demands of the GCC supply chain landscape.
