Krzysztof Chaładyn, Prezes Otimo sp. z o.o. był nie tylko aktywny w kuluarach (jak zwykle ), ale uczestnicy targów mieli również okazję go posłuchać. Krzysztof wziął bowiem udział w będącej częścią targów konferencji – Warehouse Logistics Conference (organizowanej przez Piotr Susz and Locura Consulting). Jej drugiego dnia (29.01.2025) występował najpierw w roli panelisty w dyskusji na temat “Projektowanie Magazynów: trendy i innowacje”, a następnie zaprezentował prelekcję pod tytułem “Technologie wspierające zarządzanie łańcuchem dostaw. Prezentacja innowacyjnych narzędzi i systemów wspierających zarządzanie łańcuchem dostaw.”

Chodzą słuchy, że było mega ciekawie! Wszystkich zainteresowanych zapraszamy do zapoznania się ze szkieletem prelekcji, jaką Krzysztof przeprowadził:

CargoON do autorów swojego raportu zaprosiło wybitnych ekspertów ze swoich dziedzin, dzięki czemu raport “Sztuczna inteligencja w łańcuchu dostaw” jest nie tylko cennym źródłem niezwykle aktualnej wiedzy, ale i wciągającą lekturą. Krzysztof Chaładyn jako reprezentant z obszaru algorytmów optymalizacyjnych swój głos poświęca właśnie tym tematom.

The entire report is available for free download at this link: https://cargoon.eu/en/lp/ai-in-supply-chains. We encourage you to read it!

This unique event, organized by Bogusław Gnat / LUCA Logistic Solutions in cooperation e.g.. from Politechnika Opolska, as the name suggests, did not focus only on the presentation of products or services, but also touched on a very important aspect of cooperation between the world of science and business. The conference program was very interesting, and we can safely say that the event started with a bang, because one of the first speeches was... a collaboration Otimo sp. z o.o. and Inovatica AGV, titled “Optimization algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI) in logistics.” During it Krzysztof Chaładyn, Vice President of Otimo and Bogumil Zieba, President of Inovatica AGV, talked about how optimization algorithms and artificial intelligence contribute to increasing efficiency, operational efficiency and reducing logistics costs.

What were they talking about? Krzysztof and Bogumił? Among othersabout how algorithms can be used to optimize the most expensive processes in logistice. We invite you to familiarize yourself with selected elements of their presentation:

Congratulations Bogusław Gnat (LUCA Logistic Solutions) for gathering such a Dream Team and organizing this event.

We especially would like to recommend page 133, where Krzysztof Chaładyn, Vice-President of the Management Board of Otimo sp. z o.o. talks about "WHY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MAY NOT (YET) TAKE YOUR JOB": https://log24.pl/e-wydania.

SINTEF is an independent research institution that conducts various types of research and development projects, including - just like Galgos - dealing with advanced algorithms and combinatorial optimization. However, it approaches this topic in its own way and, for example, also records slightly different benchmarks. Otimo reported to SINTEF its results on the PDPTW Li & Lim (Pickup and Delivery Problem with Time Windows) benchmark for 1000 points, where the primary goal is 1) minimizing the number of vehicles, followed by 2) minimizing the total distance. As these were the best known results for given instance of a problem, the Polish company was located at the list of record owners run by a Norwegian institute (where it is listed as OT).  

“Our team is constantly working on our algorithms so that they improve not only our own achievements in this area, but also world records,” says Krzysztof Chaładyn, Vice-President of Otimo Sp. z o. o. “Of course, recognition from such renowned institutions as Galgos or SINTEF is a nice culmination of often many months of hard work. However, I would like to emphasize that optimization records are followed by measurable business benefits - and that is what we try to focus on. And if a healthy academic and business competition with teams from all over the world helps us build a competitive advantage, it is a win-win situation for us. Our ambition and passion mean that we are not afraid of any challenges, and I know that it's not only us that benefit from this (through self-fulfillment and development of our skills), but also our clients."

What are the main trends, methods and areas where the use of AI algorithms is the most beneficial to manufacturing plants? What are the technological requirements and best market practices for implementing AI in manufacturing? Will AI replace people - what will the labor market look like and will managers still be needed? These are just some of the topics that were discussed. We started the panel with a brief overview of the types of AI that are used in industry, along with a discussion of their capabilities. We then discussed what real problems of manufacturing plants can be solved by implementing solutions based on artificial intelligence. We also wondered together whether it is actually time to monetize AI and - more broadly – algorithms. Then we moved on to tips on how to actually take the first step toward implementing AI in an industrial setting.

With the fever that ChatGPT has recently caused, it is hard to find a more topical subject. The panel therefore attracted a lot of attention and was full of interesting information and advice. For our part, we would like to thank the organizers for inviting Otimo to the expert panel and all the participants for the extremely interesting discussions!
