collaborative processes for
industry and logistics interaction

Developing and piloting a collaborative platform to increase the digital interaction between industry and logistics stakeholders to ensure competitiveness by applying improved calculatioon methods for costs of products including all the variable and seasonal logistics and environmental costs, and reducing contextual costs by exchanging electronic documents using international standards and state-of-the-art interoperability mechanisms

EIT Manufacturing is supported by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT),
a body of the European Union

CHALLENGE

Dependency of transports and logistics services are becoming more extreme for manufacturing, increasing uncertainty and originating higher production costs, decreasing competitiveness. Collaboration in international supply-chains is still difficult given the high level of different entities, supporting technologies, different language standards, regulations, lack of information, and time zones involved, namely in exports settings.

RESULTS

Collaborative processes for industry and logistics interaction, including B2B and B2G
Open interoperability to connect value-added networks globally
Boosting the reduction of emissions by advising for the usage of friendly environmental logistics services
Democratization of the technology
(low-cost web apps and mobile apps)
