AUTOFLEX was represented at the Inland Ports Innovation Days (11–12 February 2026) in Duisburg, hosted by the MultiRELOAD project, bringing together leading experts and stakeholders from across Europe to discuss the future of inland port operations and digital transformation in inland waterways.
Cyril Alias (DST) presented on AUTOFLEX’s approach to autonomous inland shipping, while Kristoffer Kloch (DFTS) participated in the panel discussion on digitalisation and automation in inland shipping.
A key takeaway from the panel: digitalisation and automation are not value propositions in and of themselves — they are enablers that support better transport services. The starting point must always be identifying the problem we are trying to solve, and how digitalisation and automation can help address it.
Thank you to duisport and the MultiRELOAD team for organising an excellent event!
