Deutsche Post DHL will be focusing more and more on the network of Packstations it has across the country and less on innovations such as delivery robots and parcel boxes installed at customers’ homes.

That’s what CEO Frank Appel said in an interview with Der Tagesspiegel. In the interview, Appel talked about the difficult year of 2018, in which the earnings forecast was surprisingly cut from 4.2 to 3.2 billion euros. He ensured however that having to save costs didn’t go at the expense of innovation.

Automation will take place in warehouses

The company is still trying out a lot. For example, it has a robot that drives behind the delivery man to carry his letters and parcels. “Or we measure the inventory and monitor the security with drones.” He thinks automation will first take place in areas where the entire system is under control, such as in sorting centers or warehouses.

‘In 30 years, people still deliver parcels’

“In delivery, however, there’s still a very long way to go. It’s not enough to bring a package somewhere by using a robot. Because it has to recognize where the bell is, if it’s the right address or name and what will happen if the customer isn’t there.”, Appel explains. “So, I believe that even in 20 or 30 years’ time, we will still have people to deliver parcels. But we will then make use of technical aids, such as exoskeletons that can carry heavy packages. And perhaps, even small, high-quality items such as smartphones will be delivered by drones.”

3,500 Packstations

Deutsche Post DHL has been experimenting with delivery robots, but Appel says these devices are still too expensive. He thinks it will need some innovation leaps until it will finally pay off. That’s why DHL is backing down on the experiments with delivery robots. Instead, it focuses increasingly on parcel stations, something it has been doing for almost twenty years now. “We now have 3,500 Packstations nationwide and are systematically expanding them. The only question is how quickly you can find suitable places for them.”

He also reveals that DHL is backing down on the parcel boxes that customers can install at their homes. “The demand was significantly lower than we expected. Now, we have to think of something new. But trying out is the beauty of entrepreneurship.”

The first doses of the BioNTech-Pfizer coronavirus vaccine have been delivered to Germany's 16 states. Along with other EU countries, Germany is set to officially kick off its vaccination program on Sunday. Bomberman for mac free download.

Tens of thousands of coronavirus vaccine doses are set to arrive in Germany's 16 states

The first doses of the BioNTech-Pfizer coronavirus vaccine have arrived in Germany's 16 states, the dpa news agency has reported, as the European Union gears up to begin a large-scale immunization program.

Tens of thousands of initial doses were set to be delivered from BioNTech, a Mainz-based pharmaceutical firm, to 27 locations nationwide.

The doses would then be distributed to vaccine centers and mobile teams, which will begin the first vaccinations on Sunday. The vaccine doses, small vials delivered in two special thermal boxes, need to be kept at a temperature of minus 70 degrees Celsius (minus 94 degrees Fahrenheit).

'The vaccination centers are ready to go. The vaccination teams are in place,' German Health Minister Jens Spahn told a press conference in Berlin on Saturday.

Spahn: 'Vaccination centers are ready'

BioNTech developed one of the first coronavirus vaccines with US-based firm Pfizer. The European Union, which approved the vaccine earlier this week, has secured more than 300 million vaccine doses from the two companies.

Why is Germany waiting to start vaccinating?

While Germany finalizes its preparations, countries like the United States and the United Kingdom have already begun vaccination programs. Download mac os high sierra for virtualbox. The European Union wanted to make the vaccine available to all member states at the same time, as a sign of unity.

'Europeans, including Germany, opted to have the European agency give the green light for the whole of the EU to be able to use it,' said Michaela Küffner, DW's chief political editor.

'This slowed down the process. It would have been faster if individual states had put that on a fast track, but they didn't because they also wanted to send the 'European united' signal.'

This sign of unity was stressed by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in a video message posted to her Twitter account on Saturday. She said the vaccine will 'help us get our normal lives back, gradually.'

Who will receive the vaccine first?

The vaccine will be made available to German residents aged over 80 first, as well as caregivers and hospital staff at particular risk.

Between 11 to 12 million doses of the vaccine are expected to be available by March. That would be enough to vaccinate 5.5 to 6 million people, since the vaccine needs to be administered twice.

Spahn hopes to be able to make vaccinations available to all residents by the summer, though other preparations need to be approved for that to happen.

Almost two-thirds of Germans have shown a willingness to get vaccinated against the disease, according to a YouGov poll published on Friday.

Will the vaccine program make a difference?

Germany's Association of Cities, meanwhile, has tried to dampened expectations that the vaccine will be a silver bullet.

'It's a start, but the dangerous coronavirus scare is not over yet,' the association's president Burkhard Jung told the Funke media group.

Helmut Fickenscher, an infectious disease physician in the northern city of Kiel, told the dpa news agency that the vaccination program 'will not affect [Germany's] epidemic for the time being.'

'This is because we simply have far too many people to vaccinate and will not have enough vaccine available for quite some time,' he said.
