Logistics Institute StratMos IMG3 Telemark 20 May 2009 Progress and Planning Report DP3c - Applying Logistics Technologies Nick Riley University of Hull logistics Institute

Logistics Institute Overview Brief reminder of previously reported activity Summary of new activity Plans for April 2009 – March 2010

Logistics Institute Brief reminder of previously reported activity Generic supply chain model Concept of ILC Identification of real supply chain for tests “Arena” supply chain modelling Technology assessment, Eg “RuBee”

Logistics Institute Elements of a Generalised Item Tracking System Identification Location / Positioning Communication We do not always need all three Eg on a production line Position is usually known... and often two or more are combined Eg AIS for ship ID, Location and Communication. System Integration and Data Flow are crucial. Integration ILC Concept

Logistics Institute Summary of new activity Activity addressing several of the 15 critical points in generic supply chain: 2&3 Warehouse systems – detailed proposal developed 4 Driver information, RFID and consignment tracking outline example 6 Container security / tracking new contacts developed 13 Port Access academic study on Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) Liaison with related NS FRITS project on road-based freight security system.

Logistics Institute Finally…  Brief introduction to related project “NS FRITS”  invitation to join the NS FRITS stakeholder group.

Logistics Institute Aims of NS FRITS North Sea Freight Intelligent Transport Solutions  Develop a multi-lingual electronic communication and data capture system for the freight supply chain to provide end users; drivers, fleet / transport managers, freight handlers, with information about conditions in the country/region/area they are about to enter  Assist with key issues in the NSR such as transport congestion, traffic flow, safety and security  Improve interoperability and integration between transnational and secondary networks providing visibility across supply chains, sharing data, so that all elements of the supply chain benefit  Improve performance, profitability and competitiveness of long distance and intermodal services  Establish an ICT solution that includes telecommunications and the increasing range of sensory, location, security identification and data capture leading edge technologies within the supply chain, which will transmit data at ports and other critical transport corridor points……etc
