  2. Product Intelligence and Supply Chain Management Customer orders Available Open Data Traffic disruption(congestion, roadworks, incidents) Discovery ofResources& Negotiation(transport services/routes,local actuators (cooling))etc. Weather(observations, forecasts)

  3. Product Intelligence and Supply Chain Management • Useful for: • Managing unexpected events • Customized orders • Providing customers with improved visibility and control of their orders (even in transit) • Disruption monitoring & control • Dynamic rescheduling of storage/picking processes in warehouses

  4. Product Intelligence in Freight Transportation K N R O S B A Improved management of unexpected events and disruptions affecting the transportation of an order L P T • Dynamic rerouting of shipments • Enhanced customer control over his order • Information sharing about disruptions and alternative routing options among different stakeholders

  5. Product Intelligence in Warehouse Management Achieving adaptive storage location assignments and dynamic order-picking rescheduling • Auto-ID system for Product Classes, Material Equipment and Storage Locations to capture real-time information • Software agents acting on behalf of the orders and product classes • Negotiation mechanism between orders and product classes to determine the most effective way of utilising the resources within warehouses

  6. Linked Data and Open Data as enabling technologies Open data about traffic disruptions and weather Web vocabularies about organizations, products, e-commerce Linked Data technologies (URIs, RDF, SPARQL) to explore relationships and connections across networks, to express needs and capabilities and do intelligent matching
