Logistics are a critical component to the success of any business, and transportation companies invest heavily in mastering it. Whether it’s managing customer orders, corporate fleets, or the employees that “drive” the business forward, progress is accelerating in a 5G-connected era. Companies such as Werner Enterprises have embraced 5G-enabled technologies like autonomous vehicles and next-generation fleet management platforms to move tens of thousands of containers across the nation. 

For this episode of The Restless Ones, I had the opportunity to sit with Danny Lilley, VP and Chief Technology Officer of Werner Enterprises, who believes closely aligning IT with business teams and championing end-user experiences is key to unlocking innovative capabilities and experiences well beyond the status quo."  5G continues to transform standard Class 8 trucks from a box and engine on wheels into a giant computer featuring more than 100 real-time sensors. Moving data analysis from the trucks to the edge allows Danny and his team to create a more efficient, safer, and profitable business for Werner and their clients.
