On September 10, 2026, at the headquarters of the Transport Group in Piotrków Trybunalski, we hosted Dr. Maciej Kawecki and a team of experts in the implementation of new technologies. On the GT side, the meeting was attended by the President of the Management Board Tomasz Macherowski, Vice President of the Management Board Michał Macherowski and CITO Rafał Łuczak. We showed the BRAIN platform from Techminds Revolution and the Digital Twin platform from Arendai, which is already working in the GT Logisticswarehouse. Both parties want to establish cooperation. Further talks are planned.

Meeting at the headquarters of the Transport Group

Artificial intelligence in logistics is most often talked about in the future tense. This time we started with what is already working in our company today. On Thursday, 10 September, Dr. Maciej Kawecki and a team of experts in the implementation of new technologies came to the headquarters of the Transport Group. The meeting was chaired by the President of the Management Board, Tomasz Macherowski. On the part of GT, it was also attended by the Vice-President of the Management Board, Michał Macherowski, and Rafał Łuczak, CITO of the Transport Group. It was a working meeting. We talked about examples from our daily operation - data, processes and a specific warehouse.

AI in logistics: solutions that are already working

Grupa Transportowa has been operating as a 4PL operator for over 25 years. We coordinate road, sea, air and rail transport, warehousing, customs clearance and insurance. On such a scale, decisions are made on the basis of data from many companies and systems at the same time. That is why we have been investing in tools that organize this data and turn it into information for action for years. The starting point of the conversation was simple: how AI and new technologies are changing logistics now, not in the next decade. It quickly turned out that we are looking at the same areas from two sides. Our guests from the technology and implementation side, we from the operations side. These experiences complement each other well.

BRAIN: data from the entire group in one place

Rafał Łuczak showed what we are working on together with Techminds Revolution. The main topic was the BRAIN platform - an analytical tool designed for transport and logistics. BRAIN collects data on costs, efficiency, carbon footprint and market trends in one place. It integrates with telematics and ERP systems, so it combines information that previously functioned in separate programs. On this basis, it forecasts changes in the market and signals problems in processes before they affect the execution of orders.

"We showed solutions that work on our data and in our processes. BRAIN combines information from several companies and systems that previously operated side by side. Digital Twin from Arendai allows us to test a change in the warehouse GT Logistics in the model before we implement it on the floor. Such meetings are valuable for us because they allow us to look at our own tools through the eyes of people who implement technologies in many industries."

Digital Twin in GT Logistics Warehouse

The second topic was Digital Twin. It is provided by Arendai, a technology partner of the Transport Group and Techminds Revolution. The solution is already implemented in the GT Logistics warehouse. The digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical object. In the warehouse, it allows you to see how a change in the layout or flow of goods will affect the work before anyone moves the first rack. Together with the data from BRAIN, it gives a more complete picture of the operation - from a single hall to the entire network.

"Technology makes sense when it solves a real problem in an operation. This is how we have been building the Transport Group for years and this is how we approach artificial intelligence. A conversation with Dr. Maciej Kawecki and his team confirmed my belief that we have chosen the right direction. Logistics will change more in the coming years than in the last two decades. We want to be in this change earlier than others."

Who is Dr. Maciej Kawecki

Dr. Maciej Kawecki is a doctor of law and one of the most recognizable technology popularizers in Poland. He was the director of the data management department at the Ministry of Digital Affairs, where he was responsible, among m.in, for the implementation of the GDPR into Polish law. He is the president of the Lem Institute and the face of the This is IT project, which tells the story of Polish innovations and the people who create them.

What's Next

There were several topics on the table for further work. Both parties want to establish cooperation, and further talks are already planned. We will inform you about their effects in the next materials.
