  1. iCargo Business and functional introduction www.i-cargo.eu

  2. Agenda • Why (the business motivations) • Who (the ecosystem) • What (the three iCargo functions) 2

  3. The iCargo Vision • By 2020, efficient, low-carbon end-to-end transport and logistics services will be planned, executed and completed cooperatively in a global freight business ecosystem, based on fully interoperable cargo, vehicle, infrastructure and freight management systems, supporting optimal resources usage and real-time alignment of intermodal plans with on-going operations.

  4. The iCargo approach • Achieve the iCargo vision through an open freight management ecosystem. • A business ecosystem is an “intentional community of economic actors” having in common protocols, interfaces and an overall business goal. • In the case of iCargo this is the provision of door-to-doorlow-carbon logistic services, i.e., services that: • cover an entire supply chain or a significant portion of it, • produce less CO2 than alternatives, • make use of the iCargo ecosystem to combine services through different transport modes and providers. 4

  5. The iCargo ecosystem Door-to-door service Roles and resources assigned on demand • Ecosystem • Inclusive • Decentralized • Based on shared rules • Virtual Resources Network • Automated resource discovery • Connected resources • Selected on the basis of the Virtual Resources Network Options • Integrated view based on common semantics • Support distributed monitoring and planning 5

  6. Why should i join iCargo? • For sustainability • Increased load factor • Less emissions • Better utilized resources • For market evolution • Faster and more efficient delivery of smaller shipments • Specialized logistic services, globally accessible, integrated but maximizing efficiency on a local scale Collaborative Planning, Open logistic networks, the “Physical Internet” www.physicalinternetinitiative.org the “Long Tail” (C. Anderson, 2006)

  7. Who should join? Low-carbon door-to door service Logistic resources and capabilities Informationservices infrastructure Transportinfrastructure RegulatoryCompliance Needs goods delivered with lower emissions, good performance and no extra cost Needs to deliver door-to-door service by organizing logistic resources and capabilities Needs to make own resources and capabilities accessible and well utilised Logistic ServicesProvider (LSP) Freight ServicesIntegrator (FSI) TransportRegulator (TR) Information ServicesIntegrator (ISI) Transportation NetworkManager(TNM) Logistic ServicesClient (LSC) 1. Find your role in the ecosystem 2. Connect with the other roles for necessary services To be in iCargo

  8. What do I get from iCargo? • Logistic chain composition • Open logistic network based on common definition of transport and logistic services. • Collaborative planning support. • Taking into account 3 dimensions: cost, effectiveness, emissions. • Logistic network awareness • Monitoring infrastructure based on Intelligent Cargo, vehicle and infrastructure connectivity. • Re-planning triggered by automated monitoring and deviations. • Dynamic alignment of individual service providers plans. • Emissions monitoring • Monitoring infrastructure includes collection of energy consumption data. • Real-time calculation of emissions at shipment level.
