On 17 April, our colleague Marina Anento, Warehousing Sales & Solutions Engineer at LYL, took part as a guest lecturer in the course “Innovation in Logistics: Digitalisation, Automation and Artificial Intelligence”, the micro-credential run by the IL3 Institute of Lifelong Learning at the Universitat de Barcelona. An opportunity to share with the students LYL’s vision and expertise in one of the areas that is most rapidly transforming the sector: Logistics 4.0.
A programme designed for the logistics of the future
The IL3 micro-credential is a university-level programme of 150 hours (6 ECTS) aimed at professionals looking to take their careers in the logistics sector to the next level. The programme tackles the major challenges redefining the way we produce, store and distribute, including:
- An introduction to Logistics 4.0 and innovation processes.
- The application of artificial intelligence to the supply chain.
- Warehouse management systems (WMS) as the backbone of modern operations.
In short, a programme that combines strategic vision and technical expertise, with a strong focus on the real-world challenges companies face every day.
Marina Anento’s session: next-generation robotics applied to production, warehousing and distribution
In her session, Marina offered the students a hands-on perspective on how the technologies underpinning modern intralogistics are evolving. Among the topics covered, one took centre stage: next-generation robots applied to production, warehousing and distribution processes.
The class walked through the technologies that are reshaping the warehouse as we knew it, from collaborative robotic solutions to automated systems capable of optimising entire workflows. Always with a practical approach, drawing on the experience LYL has built up over the years.
The goal: for students to leave the classroom with a clear picture of where the sector is heading and, above all, of how these technologies are being implemented today in real-world companies.
Sharing knowledge, a way to build the sector
For LYL, taking part in initiatives like this is about more than just academic presence. It is a way to actively contribute to training the professionals who will lead the logistics of the coming years and to build bridges between academia and industry.
Because the transformation of the sector cannot happen without people prepared to drive it forward. And because sharing what we know, and what we are learning every day, is part of how we understand our work.
Our thanks to Marina Anento for representing LYL with such rigour and talent, and to IL3 – Universitat de Barcelona for once again trusting industry professionals to bring the reality of logistics into the classroom.
