The era of merely collecting data is behind us. Now we have to decide: what’s the right way to use that data – and protect it? The “Digital. Future-Proof?” panel discussion at the Trends in Automotive Logistics 2025 conference this May touched on a number of fundamental questions related to the digitalisation of logistics. The panel’s experts shared their views and experience regarding artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and changing job roles, as well as how to bridge the generation gap in the workplace.

The discussion was moderated by Thilo Jörgl (TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS), with Tobias Mayr (BMW Group), Mojmír Barák (Škoda Auto), Csaba Malatinszki (Denso Manufacturing Hungary) and Pavel Boháč (Aimtec) as panellists. All of them work every day at the intersection of IT and logistics, and so they could offer very practical insights into how digitalisation is transforming their companies’ operational realities.

We can’t influence the system’s complexity. Digitalisation and AI can help us handle it. Every employee has to have access to AI, and be able to use it. This is key.

Tobias Mayr, General Manager IT Inbound Logistics, BMW Group

What did the panellists discuss?

  • The use of AI in daily practice and its safe deployment.
  • Companies’ ability to extract added value from data.
  • Making employees active participants in change projects; the need for data literacy and adaptation to technological changes.

And how do the experts see the next five years? AI will become a routine part of logistics, and new types of job roles will arise – maybe even contracts with chatbots. Watch the full panel discussion here:
