Objetivo The TACTICS project will demonstrate that loading bays and the intermodal transfer of palletised goods can be fully automated, electronically managed and networked into computer based logistics within existing transport systems.A functional system will be constructed to verify the system and demonstrate mechanical engineering, electronic control and logistics software solutions.This programme will also demonstrate that it is viable to transfer palletised goods in an uninterrupted recyclable intermodal distribution chain. Goods can be packed at source and delivered in returnable packaging in a fully automated cycle. Current practices require excessive packaging and inefficient multiple handling operations at numerous points in the transport chain.Indirect benefits will be more effective use of vehicles and warehouse, fast intermodal transfer, reduced consumption of fuels and packaging, reduced pollution and traffic congestion, reduced impact to urban environments, reduced material handling and less damage. Loading and unloading practices, currently too variable and extremely inefficient, can be streamlined. Vehicle and container utilisation is poor, requiring unnecessary duplication of equipment and redundant operational support. Standardised and automated loading will reduce this problem. %The TACTICS group will be completing a demonstration programme that will see the automatic loading and transfer of palletised goods as part of a high volume consumer distribution chain.This cross European exercise will handle consumable products that use the same recyclable palletising from origin to point of retail and will be electronically managed using advanced product tagging.Countries involved; Germany and the United Kingdom. %TERMINET, ASAP, FLIHTT, IMPULSE, ROLLING SHELF Ámbito científico natural sciencescomputer and information sciencessoftwareengineering and technologymechanical engineeringnatural sciencesearth and related environmental sciencesenvironmental sciencespollutionengineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuels Programa(s) FP4-TRANSPORT - Specific research, technological development and demonstration programme in the field of transport, 1994-1998 Tema(s) 3.1 - Quality of the network Convocatoria de propuestas Data not available Régimen de financiación CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinador 3T DESIGN LIMITED Aportación de la UE Sin datos Dirección Hill House 8 Warwick Road CV47 0HN Southam Reino Unido Ver en el mapa Coste total Sin datos Participantes (5) Ordenar alfabéticamente Ordenar por aportación de la UE Ampliar todo Contraer todo ACCELERATED BUISNESS GROWTH LTD Reino Unido Aportación de la UE Sin datos Dirección Alexander House Fore Hill 38 CB7 4AF Cambridgeshire Ver en el mapa Coste total Sin datos CHEP UK LIMITED Reino Unido Aportación de la UE Sin datos Dirección Weybridge Business Park Addlestone Road KT15 2UD Surrey Ver en el mapa Coste total Sin datos LINPAC MATERIALS HANDLING GMBH Alemania Aportación de la UE Sin datos Dirección Gildestrasse 1 48455 BAD BENTHEIM Ver en el mapa Coste total Sin datos LINPAC MOULDINGS LIMITED Reino Unido Aportación de la UE Sin datos Dirección 3180 Park Square Birmingham Business Park B37 7YN Birmingham Ver en el mapa Coste total Sin datos NV CHEP EUROPE SA Bélgica Aportación de la UE Sin datos Dirección Uitbreidingstraat 46 2600 Antwerpen Ver en el mapa Coste total Sin datos
