Technologies and AI (Artificial Intelligence) are constantly evolving and the world of logistics and transport is no different. As the industry adapts to new technologies, there is already newer and more modern ones.
Automation is the future of logistics. Nearly all experts agree with that. In the future, the trucks will probably be driving themselves and transport will be way more environmentally friendly than it is today. However, automation is not only robots and AI (artificial intelligence). A huge part of automation is also software solutions. In the past few years, the trend of using load-planning applications is on the rise in many transport companies. Is using these applications worth it and how will it help improve logistics?
Road transportation is, for many businesses and suppliers, still the most beneficial means of transporting goods. Thousands of trucks loaded with full shipping containers are on their way driving to their final location every day.

In the past few years, the world has faced one of the greatest challenges in modern history. A challenge so unusual, it has affected all of us and essentially paralyzed the whole world.

The Russian–Ukranian war affects almost every aspect of our lives, transport and logistics included.
The logistics industry is going through a period of rapid change. Two driving factors when it comes to innovation, common to a wide range of industries, are advances in software solutions and environmental concerns.
This time, we are not exactly talking positively about Spanish ports. Precisely, the ports of Algeciras, Barcelona, and Valencia are among the 10 most polluting in all of Europe. In fact, Spain is the second country, behind Italy, with the worst numbers on carbon emissions that come from its ports.
The pandemic completely stopped much of the world’s transport. The resulting shock was caused firstly by the pandemic and now by other factors like the war in Ukraine. Its consequences altogether make us understand how important container transport is for the global economy and this is reflected through the consequences of the current prices.
Container traffic in Spain increased in 2021 by 5.5% compared to 2020 and by 1.2% compared to 2019. In addition, in the first half of 2022, the total historical port movement has already been exceeded by 284.7 million tons as well, representing an increase of 7.3% compared to 2021.
