Imagine a giant air traffic control system, but for cargo moving between ships, planes, and trains. It uses digital twins and blockchain to make sure goods don't get stuck at transfer points. It even explores using subway tunnels to move packages through cities to avoid traffic.
Freight transport often suffers from inefficiency and high costs due to gaps in communication and coordination when switching between different modes of transport (e.g., ship to rail). This leads to underutilized capacity and a higher carbon footprint.
A cloud-based community platform featuring a library of technology-driven solvers, Digital Twins for resource optimization, and Blockchain for secure information exchange. It includes three operational trial sites for real-world testing.
If you are a terminal operator dealing with congestion between ships and trucks — this project developed a Digital Twin and Blockchain system that optimizes the flow from seaport to last-mile delivery. This reduces the carbon footprint and improves decision-making for cargo movement.
If you are an airfreight handler dealing with delays between airports and ports — this project developed a Decision Support System (DSS) that provides real-time monitoring and control. This ensures a smoother end-to-end transport flow between Athens airport and Piraeus Seaport.
If you are a rail operator dealing with poor coordination at river ports — this project developed a planning tool that provides fluent information on transport flows. This allows for better resource optimization between river ports and warehouse hubs.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost structures for the platform are not provided.
The project has deployed three trial facilities in Spain, Greece, and Romania to test solutions in real-life operational environments, indicating a move toward industrial scaling.
Based on available project data, there is no specific information regarding IP or licensing terms.
The platform is designed to integrate with legacy logistics systems and existing freight transport and logistics (T&L) systems across supply chains.
The project period runs from 2022-09-01 to 2025-12-31, with a full drop of mature logistics solutions expected as a final deliverable.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven with a 68% industry ratio, comprising 13 industrial partners and 4 SMEs. This high level of commercial involvement, combined with 4 research organizations across 7 countries, suggests the project is focused on practical application rather than theoretical research.
