AI Alone Is Not Enough. How to Build Resilient Digital Solutions? Advice from TAL 2026 Speakers

How can you design “Digital by Design” solutions that can scale and adapt without major interventions? And where should AI be applied so that it becomes part of everyday processes and still makes sense a year from now? Ahead of the Trends in Automotive Logistics conference, we asked this year’s speakers two questions that companies frequently face during digitalisation projects. Experts from Amazon, Škoda Auto and Aimtec share their perspectives. More insights and practical experience will be presented on 16 June 2026 in Pilsen. Expect real-world automation project stories and recommendations on how to avoid dead ends.

AI in Aimtec solutions: put to practical, purposeful and meaningful use

Without a clear goal, AI is only a costly experiment. “Artificial intelligence is no longer just a supporting tool, it’s become an active element in the digital ecosystem," says Aimtec’s Supply Chain Solution Director Rostislav Schwob. So what does an AI deployment that actually delivers measurable results look like? Here are several examples of how artificial intelligence runs through Aimtec’s solutions for companies in logistics and manufacturing.

Automation? Don’t Ask Whether – Ask How.

Manufacturing and distribution companies aren’t just considering automation today – they are planning it. But the key thing is to know where to start, what to think over in advance and how to tell if you’re truly ready to get the most out of this type of project. Aimtec’s Automation Projects Director Jindřich Bek guides customers through the entire process – from the first question to project launch.

This year’s Trends in Automotive Logistics (TAL) conference marks a double milestone: the 25th edition of the event coincides with Aimtec’s 30th anniversary. Yet the significance goes beyond round numbers. The conference subtitle Digital by Design raises a question that many manufacturing companies are currently facing: how to approach digitalisation strategically without being constrained by the legacy of historical systems.

An Interview with Martin Kraus: “Simulations Help Us Be Confident We’re Making Good Decisions”

Making decisions about production or logistics changes is always risky. Every step – changing a layout, adding a shift or investing in automation – can transform the whole system’s performance. How can you evade mistakes and decide with confidence? We chatted about all this with Martin Kraus, a simulation specialist at Aimtec.

Automation, the collection, evaluation and utilisation of data, the deployment of AI tools, and sustainability. These are the pillars of future growth – and the solution to logistics' most urgent problems, such as the manpower crunch, wage growth pressure and increasing regulation from the EU. These are the conclusions from the Trends in Czech Logistics 2025 study, prepared for SKLAD by the Ipsos agency.

Taking the Nightmares out of IT System Integration

Taking the Nightmares out of IT System Integration

When you have many fragmented information systems and applications, work slows down and costs rise across your company. Why are integrations so tough, and can we learn from yesterday’s mistakes? Can you connect diverse systems quickly and securely without a need for complex programming? And how do you ensure your integrations are both functional and reliable, running outage-free 24 hours a day, while staying easy to maintain and scale? Modern integration platforms have the answers. They let you interconnect systems without stress and unnecessary expenses.

So how do you build a system integration that works reliably, predictably — and most importantly — without worries?
