FreightWaves LIVE
- Consumer demand drives more visible, service-oriented supply chain
- Erik Caldwell, Last Mile president for XPO Logistics, and FreightWaves President George Abernathy talk about consumer demand and the last mile in the keynote event for the FreightWaves Last Mile Logistics Summit.
- Keynote: How changes in consumer demand are reshaping the last mile
- An XPO Logistics (NYSE: XPO) executive forecast Thursday that XPO might need an additional 25%-30% of delivery capacity during this fall’s strong peak season. “We want to go into this peak period and really prove that we’re ready for the Super Bowl and ready to do this,” XPO Last Mile President Erik Caldwell told FreightWaves President George Abernathy during the keynote event, “How Changes in Consumer Demand Are Reshaping the Last Mile,” as part of Thursday’s virtual FreightWaves Last Mile Logistics Summit. That 25%-30% of additional delivery capacity would be on top of what XPO was running this summer, Caldwell said, noting that the company’s summer volumes were even higher than what was delivered during the 2019 peak season.

- Digitization can shape a company’s safety culture – The Future of Logistics Real Estate
- Using data collected from innovative technology such as wearables not only supports safety measures and productivity, according to Cormac Gilligan, global vice president of environment, health and safety for PepsiCo Inc. It can also provide employees with a sense of ownership because of the data’s real-life applications. Gilligan pointed to PepsiCo’s adoption of employees using wearables during certain work shifts or manufacturing plants and distribution centers. The wearables allowed employees to see how they moved, collecting data on “high-risk postures” such as twisting and turning one’s body. PepsiCo then used that data to identify and fix work design issues or process problems, Gilligan said during a virtual fireside chat on the roles of digitization and automation in frontline safety during FreightWaves’ The Future of Logistics Real Estate.
