Obiettivo 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 Campo scientifico natural sciencescomputer and information sciencessoftwareengineering and technologymechanical engineeringnatural sciencesearth and related environmental sciencesenvironmental sciencespollutionengineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuels Programma(i) FP4-TRANSPORT - Specific research, technological development and demonstration programme in the field of transport, 1994-1998 Argomento(i) 3.1 - Quality of the network Invito a presentare proposte Data not available Meccanismo di finanziamento CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinatore 3T DESIGN LIMITED Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo Hill House 8 Warwick Road CV47 0HN Southam Regno Unito Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato Partecipanti (5) Classifica in ordine alfabetico Classifica per Contributo UE Espandi tutto Riduci tutto ACCELERATED BUISNESS GROWTH LTD Regno Unito Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo Alexander House Fore Hill 38 CB7 4AF Cambridgeshire Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato CHEP UK LIMITED Regno Unito Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo Weybridge Business Park Addlestone Road KT15 2UD Surrey Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato LINPAC MATERIALS HANDLING GMBH Germania Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo Gildestrasse 1 48455 BAD BENTHEIM Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato LINPAC MOULDINGS LIMITED Regno Unito Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo 3180 Park Square Birmingham Business Park B37 7YN Birmingham Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato NV CHEP EUROPE SA Belgio Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo Uitbreidingstraat 46 2600 Antwerpen Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato
