FreightTech Rapid Demos Continue to Roll on Day 2 at F3

FreightWaves F3: Future of Freight Festival continued into its second day with more fast-paced FreightTech demonstrations on Wednesday.

This demo session included eight companies vying to get a glimpse of their latest and greatest technology products for supply chain businesses. As of Tuesday, 15 other companies had participated in the F3 rapid demonstrations.

The two-day demonstrations took place in front of a live audience, where representatives from each company had seven minutes to present their cutting-edge technologies before the buzzer sounded. Once the seven minutes were up, the microphones were cut off and the camera was focused on the next presenter in line.

Following Tuesday’s AI theme, Wednesday’s presentations covered a variety of product types, from fleet analytics to communications and security services.

Here are the highlights from day two of the demos:
