These are precision-timed to the minute and also require maximum possible transparency.” The global key account managers service their industry-specific customer base, improve knowledge about the respective sector within the Air & Sea Logistics business field and familiarize the individual country representatives with the specific logistics challenges involved. The philosophy behind it all is that insider industry knowledge permits staff to recognize potential for development and identify new customers. Flying highly sensitive consumer electronics components to Europe is a case in point. When it comes to handling this fragile freight, Dachser offers professional warehousing and transportation competence. Via its company-wide Supply Chain Management division, ASL Global Key Account Management offers customers from all four sectors supplementary logistics services upstream or downstream of sea or air freight transport. This may involve setting up a consolidation warehouse for overseas customers, or feeding goods into Dachser’s European groupage network at their destination. For, as Thomas Krüger firmly believes, intercontinental business still offers enormous opportunities – and this is also true for Dachser in Europe.

IT with a kick With IT, anything’s possible. Even winning against the human world championship team in soccer. This is the ambitious goal that programmers of humanoid robots hope to achieve by 2050. Till then, much remains to be done. In July, 2,600 school pupils, students and researchers from around the world convened at the RoboCup championship in Istanbul. In the humanoid class, the Americans from Virginia Tech had the edge when it came to dribbling, winning with DARwin in the Kid Size and with CHARLI in the Adult Size (130 centimetres and above). In the Teen Size (up to 120 centimetres) the German NimbRo team from Bonn University came first. The final score: lots of goals, powerful technology, no injuries. The only thing that’s not yet programmed is the swapping of jerseys – but there’s still plenty of time for that between now and 2050. SCRAPBOOK ? ? What am I? If I didn’t already exist, someone would have to invent me. Oh, now I know what you’re thinking: anyone could say that! But have you ever stopped to think what the world – especially the office world – would be like without me? It just doesn’t bear contemplating. Everything would fall to pieces. Worse still – there’d be nothing to distract yourself with during boring phone calls or meetings. You’d have to bend over backwards to keep yourself happy. And what if you should want to tighten a screw, clean your pipe or make a necklace? At that point you’d simply have to invent me.

An indispensable aid for all those scatterbrains who often forget where they or their partner last parked the car near their office or home.
