Digitalisation helps Hupac brave corona crisis
In 2019, the Hupac group was able to shift more than 1 million truck consignments to the railways and achieve a satisfactory financial result. During the corona crisis, the company keeps its network up and running thanks to digitalisation and contact-free processes.
Hupac invested massively in information technology last year, as can be seen from its annual report. 1,000 wagons were equipped with GPS units and 250 wagons were furnished with RFID chips. Furthermore, the company gave the green light for the digitalisation of booking processes.
Automation of these processes with the ensuing optimisation of load capacities provides mandatory transport plans and secured information with regard to shipping status. With the online Hupac train radar this information can be shown on screen. (ben)
