The Logistics Tribe Folgen

Today's episode of The Logistics Tribe is dedicated to the topic of MQTT. MQTT is a messaging protocol for the Internet of Things (IoT). If you work in logistics and supply chain management, you really need to get up to speed on this very important technology that is such a key enabler for connecting devices, vehicles, assets, sensors, etc. Our guest Dominik Obermaier is a key expert in this field. He is CTO and co-founder at HiveMQ and also the co-author of the book “The Technical Foundations of IoT”. Together with our host Marco Prüglmeier, Dominik discusses the following topics: - The history of the MQTT protocol, dating back to 1999 - How and why MQTT has really gained recognition and traction in the last 10 years - The analogies between http is for the internet of humans and MQTT for the internet of things - Why MQTT is conquering the world of logistics already, without people even realizing it - The challenges of connectivity that MQTT can address - How MQTT makes data transfer as efficient as possible through so called publish/subscribe architecture - How and why Dominik got interested in MQTT and how he built a company around it - Why everybody driving a modern car is already using MQTT today - MQTT as a key component of Industry 4.0, connected factories and connected cities - MQTT in logistics: connecting devices, vehicles, assets, sensors, etc. - How does the implementation of MQTT technology work and why it can be set up so quickly - Some predictions for the future of the internet of things and for MQTT - And much more Please subscribe to The Logistics Tribe Podcast, so you don't miss any of the future episodes.

Jonah McIntire is the founder of TNX Logistics, an AI-based road transportation procurement platform that Jonah just sold to Transporeon. He is also author of the book "Supply Chain Visibility: From Theory to Practice". Jonah holds many contrarian views around logistics and supply chain tech in particular. So this conversation turned into a wide-ranging thought-provoking discussion with our host Boris Felgendreher on the following topics: - Why startups are much less about a grand vision and more about trial-and-error and opportunism - What the first version of TNX Logistics looked liked like and why that didn’t work - What actually did work and how - What the “whiteboard rationale” was for launching TNX in New Zealand in “stealth mode” and what the reality ended up looking like - The acquisition of TNX by Transporeon - Jonah’s views on the success of Sennder in the European road transportation market. What he admires the company for and what he perceives as “tech-washing” on behalf of Sennder, Uber Freight, Convoy and others - An analysis of the economic models of Uber Freight, Convoy, Flexport - The valuation premium of digital freight forwarders vs. traditional freight forwarders - Why Jonah is bearish on drones in logistics but very bullish on autonomous vehicles and why that technology deserves more attention - Why the vision of humans and AI working together in unison and AI only replacing the boring and mindless tasks that humans don’t like to do may be wrong - Is AI in logistics and supply chain actually making jobs better or not? - How to think about breakthrough technologies that will suddenly change an entire industry. Analogies to the Manhattan project - And much more Please subscribe to The Logistics Tribe Podcast, so you don't miss any of the future episodes.
