About iCargo Project

iCargo will build an open affordable information architecture that allows real world objects, existing systems, and new applications to efficiently co-operate, enabling more cost effective and lower-CO2 logistics through improved synchronisation and load factors across all transport modes.

The iCargo project aims at advancing and extending the use of ICT to support new logistics services that:

  • Synchronize vehicle movements and logistics operations across various modes and actors to lower CO2 emissions
  • Adapt to changing conditions through dynamic planning methods involving intelligent cargo, vehicle and infrastructure systems and
  • Combine services, resources and information from different stakeholders, taking part in an open freight management ecosystem.

iCArgo Workshop and Round Table on Logistics Data Infrastructures in the Transport Logistics 2013 Event in Munich

admin In Transport Logistics, Munich Tue, 04/06/2013 - 13:30 - 17:30

iCargo Workshop and Round Table on Logistic Data Infrastructures
Challenges, Solutions and Business Models

Logistics represents the link between the economies in Europe and is fundamental to conduct business in today’s international supply networks.

At the same time novel ICT infrastructures offer unprecedented capabilities to capture, analyze and exchange data across the supply chain. Through the intelligent use of information, the potential of global logistics networks can be maximized, reducing the underutilization of logistics resources and the ecological as well as economical impacts of this underutilization.

A common industrial effort on the European level is required to turn ICT innovations into sustainable practices leading to higher margins for the industry and cleaner and more environmental friendly logistics operations for the society.

The goals of the iCargo workshop are:

  • to present advanced solutions applied by leading industries in the logistics field, and
  • to discuss the vision and requirements for future logistics data infrastructures, with the contribution of key research projects and European institutions.

Topics to be discussed include, among others:

  • Supply network design, optimization of resources on a global level;
  • Big data infrastructures in logistics;
  • Innovative business models based on cooperation and information exchange;
  • Impact of regulations on the innovation capability of the logistics industry;
  • Emissions monitoring in the supply chain.

The workshop is steered towards industrial and governmental experts concerned with logistics innovations and will be held as part of the Transport Logistics trade fair in Munich www.transportlogistic.de/en/ .
