History

Autumn 2006 / SIFA How can RFID be used? (package-, pallet- and freight unit levels as well as intermodal) Intermodal business case formed by Stena Line and Schenker, identifying/tracing/positioning of freight units. Winter & Spring 2007 / SIFA Pre-study investigating the Stena/Schenker business case, resulting in a report showing technical solutions and efficiency improvements. Spring 2009 Stena/Schenker business case taken up as BC1 within the FP7 e-Freight project with the beneficiaries Stena Line, Schenker and DSV. Autumn 2007 Stena/Schenker business case communicated with Prof. Dr. Jan Tore Pedersen and considered as very interesting for the coming FP7 e-Freight project. Winter 2008 Stena/Schenker business case reviewed with DSV and DHL together with GS1 Sweden, Savi and Litium Mobile solutions with the objective to establish a common view of the business values and with a proposed next step start a deeper investigation in co-operation. A unique meeting, but with a sad and expected result…co-operation doesn’t come easy in the transport business. => Bigger initiatives like EU-funded projects are really a must for progress. Spring-autumn 2008 Volvo Technology contacts Stena Line and wants to run an intermodal demonstrator called Port Pilot. Volvo, Stena Line, DSV, Wackfelts and Swedish Customs runs the project during November/December and evaluates estimated security and efficiency improvements on trailers exported on the Stena Line route Gothenburg – Travemünde.

SIFA pre-study

Objective to investigate RFID as a tool for identifying transport

units in quay areas and which effects this will give to the ferry

perators, their customers and other stakeholders
Analysis mainly based on interviews with on-site staff
High-level pre-study results:
manual resource reduction by check-in/out automation
faster check-in/out
increased freedom of action by 24-hour secured port area

availability

increased security by automatic identification and 24h

availability

increased traceability by detecting RFID-events in the

ferry operation chain => Interesting for Stena Line? – YES!

Port Pilot

Project driven within the Security Arena program (Lindholmen

Science Park) by Volvo Technology, financed mainly by MSB - the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency

Active Stakeholders: Swedish customs, Volvo, Stena Line,

DSV and Wackfelts Åkeri (haulier) Objective

Test concepts for more secure and efficient intermodal chains

by adding technical solutions and make information visible between the different transport actors and systems, included public safety authorities like the swedish customs Results

Port Pilot - results

Saved 10 minutes (average) for every unit to be dropped/

collected by automatic port entrance (non-secured statistics)

Freight unit under continuous observation (driver never leaves

the vehicle. Existing manual check-in makes cargo un-

bserved for an average 8½ minutes)
No driver administration / time slack. In some cases, 30

minutes were spent on administrative/unspecified tasks between port arrival and check-in by driver inside truck

Time-defined check-in/check-out process (today undefined with

unknown waiting of administrative reasons, a BIG difference for forwarders and hauliers)

Port area parking identification. Ability to keep trace of where

freight units have been parked by locating RFID responses

New events to be communicated: Arrived port, Boarded/

Loaded, Unloaded, Parked, Collected/Left port

SLIDE 8

e-Freight/FP7 expectations

Make extensive publicity for active stakeholders as leaders in making a better

Europe - in terms of less congestions, better environment and increased European competiveness

Prove political conviction by meeting business requirements, taking the full financial risk

for active pioneer stakeholder participation

Full up-taking of BC1 business requirements for a useful and scalable e-Freight platform
Establish, promote, evaluate, maintain and further develop the e-Freight message

standard as the natural one to be used within the European community and used by all transport modes

E-Freight message standard to be consolidated with existing standards like Pharos and

the coming GS1 LIM (GS1 Logistic Interoperability Model)

Establish an RFID standard for freight unit identification, in line with AEO and other
ngoing initiatives
Work towards a paper-free transport Europe by tight and continuous processing within the

EU commission, using the e-Freight platform as an enabler
