Warehousing solutions provider Lucas Systems has partnered with Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) to research software and data solutions to cut down the environmental footprint of the logistics industry.
Some of the technologies that will be used as part of the research include 3D visualisation frameworks, mobile applications, Core CS and web/Angular/JS environments and will be conducted in partnership with Lucas Systems’ data scientists and software engineers.
A key focus of the study will be how to reduce waste from transportation and distribution centres by optimising packaging processes.
During the past 60 years, global consumption of paper and cardboard has increased about seven percent year-on-year, according to a March 2023 report by Statista.
