EffizienzCluster LogistikRuhr

At the center of the joint activities of the EfficienzCluster LogistikRuhr is the issue concerning the economic challenges to be faced tomorrow. Expanding metropolitan areas and fulfilling the demands made by more and more people to live in an environment with minimum pollution levels pose very great challenges on urban centers. It is for this reason that the EfficienzCluster has devoted one of its seven major sections to the issue of “Providing Urban Areas with Public Utilities”. And this is exactly where LOGIBALL offers its new navigation solutions. Over the next five years, 1,9 million Euros have been earmarked to develop the so-called “Urban Business Navigator“. This is a modular-based navigation system consisting of software, navigation map and dynamic destination information which can be adapted to the individual requirements and the logistics of a given company in the metropolitan area of the Rhine-Ruhr – whether for use by postal workers in the cities or for organizing the flexible use of commercial vehicles. These together give rise to a range of services which in turn allow companies to reduce transport distances, optimize logistical processes to achieve higher degrees of efficiency and – with regard to road traffic – reduce the amounts of pollution in urban areas.
