It was finally that time again: as part of our Logistics Live! event, we started an excursion at our department again this year. About 20 students of the TU Darmstadt – mainly from our Master's seminar – joined us. Together with Hongjun Wu and Julia Wenzel from Prof. Elbert's team, they set off for Ludwigshafen for two plant tours in one day.

First, the tour went through the KTL Kombi-Terminal Ludwigshafen. The students learned more about the handling of intermodal transports in one of the largest container terminals in Europe.

After a short lunch break, the tour followed through the extensive BASF plant, where the students gained exciting insights into Bulk Logistics and also into the in-house development of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) to improve internal logistics.

A big thank you for the informative tours and exciting insights – we are looking forward to next time!
