locations Hamburg, L\u00fcbeck, Grevesm\u00fchlen, and Neum\u00fcnster<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">implemented. The Lurup branch is centrally managed from Hamburg, while the transport control center in Syke was only introduced in May 2023 \u2013 especially since only two vehicles need to be dispatched there. &#8220;The activation of the new locations went surprisingly smoothly and quickly,&#8221; reports Dennis Kniebel, who has since taken over project management from Jens Bielert. And Fleet Manager Steven Ludwig emphasizes: &#8220;Now our ten dispatchers can also cover for each other across locations, without having to leave their assigned workstations.&#8221; Against this background, absences due to illness, vacation, or similar reasons could be better compensated without increased staffing costs.    <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since 2023, the software has been provided from the cloud. Outages are no longer an issue, even concerning their own servers: Since June 2023, Henri Benthack has been using the cloud solution offered by Solvares Logistics. The scope of opheo&#8217;s services has not changed as a result. This is made possible by the use of Azure Cloud&#8217;s Virtual Desktop Technology.  <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Azure Cloud provided by Microsoft saves customers the costly investment in their own server infrastructure and IT personnel. &#8220;opheo is the first software we use via a cloud.

These, in turn, prioritize orders in the connected ProLogistik warehouse management system and define the picking sequence. The tours are sent via mobile communication to the Samsung tablets mounted in the trucks<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and processed by the driver.<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Current Position Data<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drivers receive order data and delivery addresses via opheo and can be guided to the next destination with the integrated truck navigation.

The individual vehicles complete up to four tours each,&#8221; says Fleet Manager Ludwig. In L\u00fcbeck, Grevesm\u00fchlen, and Neum\u00fcnster, four to six additional trucks are stationed at each location, planned by two dispatchers per site.  <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In practice, plan deviations and delays are rare, as Henri Benthack&#8217;s logistics team has fed opheo with realistic master data. &#8220;In the initial phase, we accompanied our drivers with a stopwatch to obtain the most accurate time values for loading and unloading times, as well as average waiting times at construction sites,&#8221; recalls Ludwig. The data thus determined is automatically taken into account by opheo during tour planning.  <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-75664ed e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"75664ed\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ee64eb e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3ee64eb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6034e45 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6034e45\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cedb095 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cedb095\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Transparency with the Arrival Monitor<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The actual return times of the trucks are displayed precisely to the minute on the arrival monitors, which operate based on the position data reported by opheo. This allows warehouse staff to prepare for reloading for subsequent tours in advance, pick orders efficiently, and minimize vehicle downtime. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Henri Benthack, the arrival monitor can be activated on any screen in the warehouse control center of the respective location. The employees there can easily identify which vehicle returns to the location at what time, even without prior opheo knowledge. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Thanks to the arrival monitor, our drivers&#8217; waiting times have been drastically reduced. There is more time to complete the subsequent tour, and the space situation at the ramp has significantly eased,&#8221; Kniebel summarizes the advantages of the solution.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another effect of the arrival monitor is the space gained in the staging area, as now only the building materials immediately designated for the next loading are placed there. In the past, pickers often lacked clear guidelines on the priority with which orders planned for the respective day should be handled.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Thanks to the advantages of the arrival monitor, this investment paid for itself within a few weeks,&#8221; notes Project Manager Kniebel.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-03f0424 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"03f0424\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9aa5567 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9aa5567\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Further Expansion Stages<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Henri Benthack also expects a quick return on investment from the upcoming further expansion stages of opheo. Specifically, this involves introducing digital signatures and automated email notifications to inform customers about upcoming deliveries. The message is then sent automatically as soon as the truck falls below a certain distance from its destination. Timely notification before delivery primarily benefits construction site customers, allowing them to optimally schedule their personnel and clear space in time.   <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The planned introduction of digital signatures primarily benefits the invoicing process, which can then be started immediately after delivery.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;In the future, our customers will no longer acknowledge receipt of goods on paper, but on the display of the vehicle tablet,&#8221; plans Kniebel, who also has<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">another project in mind with opheo Solutions: the introduction of automatic tour planning with the opheo Optimizer.<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Calculate Thousands of Tour Plans<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Optimizer, an intelligent planning and optimization algorithm, complements the opheo transport control center and covers a wide range of transport and vehicle types. Furthermore, the software can be adapted to individual customer-specific requirements using optimization parameters and the flexible opheo rule set. For example, the Optimizer takes into account required vehicle characteristics and capacities, driver qualifications, loading and opening times, as well as driving and rest times.  <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The opheo Optimizer is based on a self-learning algorithm developed by the mathematicians at opheo Solutions. The planning method, known as &#8220;Adaptive Evolutionary Search,&#8221; is capable of calculating thousands of tour plans within the shortest possible time and achieving gradual improvement through individual changes.<\/span><\/p><p><strong>A Vibrant Partnership<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion: Even after more than ten years, the partnership between Henri Benthack and Solvares Logistics is as vibrant as on day one.
