Presentation - Optimum Visibility Along the Supply Chain
12 June 2003 - 12 June 2003
Germany
The use of freight tracking and tracing systems is continuously increasing. Within the B2C-segment, customers demand a quick and reliable delivery service. Within the B2B-segment, more frequent but smaller shipments are sent customised for the direct use in production, which results in more vulnerable processes being influenced by varying traffic conditions. As the requirements concerning the continuous process control for these "ROLLING STOCKS" from industry increases, each transport logistics service provider is looking for a tracking and tracing solution. Consequently, the receiver of the shipments is confronted with the situation that tracking and tracing information is only available for part of its total incoming transport flows and when it is, the information from different logistics service providers is not at all standardised. Moreover, the starting introduction of European wide Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) for goods transport could build the basis for freight tracking and tracing information and could considerably foster the penetration of the respective systems.
If you are looking for an innovative solution for your logistic tracking and tracing problems and will be attending the FITIG in Poznan between 9. - 12. June, we cordially invite you to attend the presentation by Professor Dr.-Ing. Klaus Möller from the University of Applied Sciences of Pforzheim on Thursday, 12. June between 11:00 and 13:00 in Pavilion 28, Room 204.
The aim of the project is a web-based information platform (Rolling Stock Monitor), which supports the inter-company co-operation alongside the transport logistics chain. An existing web-based platform for stock control alongside a supply chain is used and will be customised and adapted to the freight transport requirements. The platform will collect information from freight sending as well as receiving companies, from transport logistics service providers and from dedicated communication interfaces of vehicles.
The Rolling Stock Monitor will enable in particular the receiving company to control the incoming transport flows across different logistics service providers. The monitor will integrate within a single user interface the different information input channels covering the broad range of transport logistics service provider profiles (international full load, partial load, courier/parcel/express) and their specific ability to provide tracking and tracing information, down to a dedicated solution with a mobile Onboard Computer (OBC) on the trucks. The monitor allows the optimal management of unloading processes, the follow up of goods in transit down to the level of articles as if they were being moved within the companies own storage facilities and the anticipation of their use in production. Based on the trial experience which will take place on different European wide transport relations, a proposal for the standard interface to the Rolling Stock Monitor will be issued as public document.
