Almost everyone knows the classic computer game, which aims to place variously shaped elements in a given space as compactly as possible. ŠKODA AUTO logistics has the same task whenever they have to load a 40-foot-long freight container. However, since 2020, they have been supported by an application using artificial intelligence technology: OPTIKON AI calculates the best way to place and the optimal number of different types of pallets, thus maximizing the loading capacity of the container.

The newest episode of SIMPLY CLEVER PODCAST is special. We won’t be talking about digital technologies or innovations but about helping the people of Ukraine fleeing from Russian aggression. Due to the war, PEKM Kabeltechnik temporarily suspended production at its plant in Lviv, where they assemble cable harnesses for door panels, bumpers, seats, and towbars. The factory is now operating again, but to a limited extent due to supply constraints. This is why ŠKODA AUTO decided to help the company duplicate production, i.e., double up production, specifically in Mladá Boleslav.

In this episode of the Simply Clever podcast, we’ll be offering some advice to people who have decided to switch to electromobility. Imagine the situation – you have two cars at home, and you’re thinking about trading one in to get an EV, maybe one with a small battery that’s ideal for towns and cities. Then occurs questions like is it ok if we just use a standard plug socket to charge the EV? How is charging going to affect our bills? And should we start thinking about solar panels? Especially after energy prices went through the roof at the end of the year.
