This document explains measures for the 2024 logistics issue, focusing on waiting times and cargo handling at delivery locations, as well as vehicle management through digital transformation (DX). It introduces the logistics 2024 issue and its impact on the logistics industry, the realities of waiting and cargo handling times, and challenges in understanding operational realities. Additionally, it provides detailed explanations of the activities and achievements of truck G-men, as well as the visualization of waiting times, cargo handling times, and operational tasks through DX. 【Contents】 ■ Logistics 2024 issue and its impact on the logistics industry ■ Realities of waiting and cargo handling times ■ Challenges in understanding operational realities ■ Achievements of truck G-men ■ Visualization of waiting times, cargo handling times, and operational tasks through DX ■ Introduction of the operational visualization tool "Doratan" and examples of its use in line with policy packages *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

In this case study collection, we introduce examples of the utilization of the operation management tool "Doratan." The content of the examples and the utilized functions are presented in a table, and each case includes "Challenges," "Solutions," and "Implementation Effects." The information is very easy to understand. Additionally, we provide information on key points for settings, setting methods, illustrative diagrams, and data obtained from Doratan. Please feel free to download and take a look. 【Featured Examples (Partial)】 ■ Case 1: Digitizing driver daily reports ■ Case 2: Digitizing handwritten operation daily reports via LINE ■ Case 3: Eliminating phone confirmations of delivery status ■ Case 4: Recording waiting and loading/unloading operations to collect appropriate fees ■ Case 5: Recording ancillary operations at delivery destinations *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Our country is facing the "2024 problem," which raises concerns about the stagnation of logistics. In June 2023, the Japanese government's relevant ministerial meeting announced a "policy package for logistics innovation," which includes "reducing logistics burdens between shippers and logistics operators" as a measure. It calls for not only transportation operators but also shippers and primary contractors to understand and improve the time related to waiting for cargo and loading/unloading operations. Let's address the 2024 problem by utilizing DX (digital transformation) to understand our own transportation and delivery realities. *For more details, please refer to the related links.

Forklifts are used in factories and logistics warehouses for handling and transporting large cargo and pallets that cannot be managed manually. However, have site managers ever noticed that there are forklifts that are not in operation when they look around the site? Many people may wonder, "Is the current number really necessary?" or "Could we reduce the number a bit more?" when they see such a situation. With typical forklifts, it is only possible to check the operating hours using an hour meter, and it is not possible to grasp the operational status by time slots, the locations of travel, or the ratio of empty runs to loaded runs. This time, we will introduce a case where a housing equipment manufacturer worked on reducing the number of forklifts using a system called "Rojitan Fork" that utilizes beacons and sensors. *For more details about the blog, please refer to the related link.

In this article, based on the author's inspection experience of airports around the world, I would like to share three impressions regarding the handling of cargo from trucks at Hong Kong International Airport's Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited, commonly known as Hactl's Super Terminal 1. Last year, the "2024 Logistics Problem" became a topic of discussion, but similar issues such as "labor shortages" and "working conditions" are also present in airport cargo handling facilities known as "airport warehouses." This discussion focuses on the specific logistics facility of "airport warehouses" and the limited operations of cargo handling from trucks, where initiatives common to general "warehouses" were also implemented. The key point is "collaboration with related businesses." Blog URL: https://www.nx-soken.co.jp/topics/blog_20250422 *For more details about the blog, please refer to the related link.
