Multi-modal information sharing
Logistics stakeholders face challenges as they endeavor to secure and improve supply chain efficiency. Lack of transparency and reliability are two such challenges that can lead to questions about where cargo is located, how it is handled during transportation and whether it will arrive on time and in the right condition. For transport operators, this situation has created a need for better partnerships between stakeholders, the goal of which would be to reduce or eliminate these uncertainties in supply-chain planning and execution.

Purpose
- To identify where shortage in the feed of information can arise, giving cause for uncertainty and resulting in reduced supply chain efficiency
- Digitalising information
- Sharing information with a broader group of supply-chain stakeholders, instead of only with those you already work with closely
- Creating effective conditions for secure information sharing
- The exchange of information must not require new formats and standards
Implementation
- Testing and demonstration of a communications platform using semantic technology and linked data
Connecting Sandvik, Geodis and RoadCargo for communication via "the Internet of Logistics" - Investigation and evaluation of alternative/additional data sources
What other data sources, which are not currently included in supply-chains, are available with a view to increase the transparency and reliability of in-transit shipments? Port and maritime traffic data etc. - Organisation, management and security
In a future implementation, how would we be able to ensure that information can be transmitted securely and that the system is developed further and, not least, maintained? Questions about independence, development and, not least, options for upscaling.
Project information - Phase 3
In the project, Alleima's export of finished goods from the production facility outside Gävle is studied, and specifically those destined for Scranton, north of New York. The transports go via the port of Gävle, Bremerhaven and the Port of New York/New Jersey. In phase 2 of the project, transport on Swedish soil was covered, while phase 3 included the entire transport chain.
The project is included as a Living Lab in FEDeRATED and the final report is due in December 2023.
