The world of work is experiencing a deep transformation, driven by disruptive technologies that redefine traditional dynamics. Among them, artificial intelligence (AI) is positioned as one of the most influential, with a growing impact on productivity, efficiency and creation of new jobs. Although economic uncertainty is still present, digitalization advances at an accelerated rhythm and is reconfiguring the most strategic sectors of the global economy.
One of the most quickly adopting these changes is the logistics and transport sector. The need to optimize processes and respond to the demands of an increasingly agile and globalized market is promoting an unprecedented technological renewal, where AI plays a leading role.
Logistics, a sector in full modernization
The integration of IA -based solutions is no longer a promise of the future, but a tangible reality in logistics. From route management to demand forecast, these technologies allow more agile decision making, reduction of operational costs and significant improvements in sustainability.
“The logistics sector is going through a deep transformation. Auto-based automation is no longer an option, but a strategic need to improve efficiency, sustainability and response capacity in a constantly changing environment and is increasingly demanding,” says Fernando Correa, CEO and co-founder of Cargobot.
Despite the benefits, the incorporation of these tools requires an initial investment and an important adaptation by companies, both technologically and in terms of talent training.
The boom of technology redefines the work overview and opens new professional opportunities in one of the key sectors for the global economy
Spain in the face of digital talent challenge
In the Spanish context, the evolution is similar to the global trend. The demand for profiles linked to artificial intelligence, data analysis and automation has grown 30% in 2024, according to Infojobs. However, this need collides with a worrying reality: the shortage of qualified professionals. Technical engineers, AI developers and automation experts are among the most demanded profiles … and more difficult to cover.
The AI adoption barometer in the Spanish SMEs of Indesia reveals that about 5,000 vacancies related to AI were not covered last year. This lack slows the competitiveness of many companies, which must also face challenges such as the training of their equipment or the efficient integration of new digital tools.
New tools, new jobs
Far from eliminating jobs, AI is giving rise to new job opportunities. Automation allows professionals to free themselves from repetitive tasks and focus on more strategic work. According to Randstad Research, more than 1.6 million jobs linked to artificial intelligence during the next decade could be generated, many of them still non -existent today.
“The arrival of artificial intelligence is marking a turning point. It is not about replacing people, but about giving them tools to work better. Technology must be an ally that allows human teams to focus on what really provides value,” concludes Correa.
Planimatik: AI for a smarter logistics
As a sample of this transformation, Cargobot has launched in Spain Planimatika technological solution based on artificial intelligence that promises to revolutionize the management of merchandise transport. The platform connects companies and carriers, optimizing routes, improving decisions in real time and reducing logistics costs.
Thanks to an intuitive interface and advanced analysis capabilities, Planimatik It allows agile and efficient implementation, consolidating itself as a key tool to boost the competitiveness of land transport in Europe. One more step in the modernization of a sector that, with the appropriate impulse, can become a referent of qualified employment and digital transformation.
