Current Challenges: Sector-specific characteristics heavily impact logistics

  • High supply uncertainty due to natural production

– Unpredictable variations in quality and quantity of supply – Flexibility in logistic processes and planning expected – Early warning and pro-active control is required

  • High perishability

– Cold chains: temperature-conditioned transportation and storage – Very short order-to-delivery lead-times

  • Seasonable growing requires global sourcing to ensure year-round availability
  • High demands on food safety, quality and (environmental) legislation

– Ability to trace production information of products in transit

  • High tracking and tracing and logistic planning complexities

– Continuous and discrete product flows – Diverging and converging processes and by-products

  • Additional phytosanitary and veterinary import inspections
  • Many SMEs – importance of collection and allocation mechanisms

Future Internet

  • Aims to overcome limitations of the current internet, including:

– a lack of data integrity, reliability, provenance and trust – a lack of data integration and federated storage solutions – lack of flexibility and adaptive control – segmentation of data and control

  • “Developing the Future Internet” to combine several trends in internet

development into an integrated approach

– the on-going industrialization of IT

  • cloud computing
  • open service delivery platforms

– new wireless networking technologies and the deployment of fibre – the breakthrough of the Internet of Things

Objectives of SmartAgriFood

Boost the application & use of future internet ICTs in the agri-food sector by:

  • identifying and describing the technical, functional and

non-functional FI-specifications

– for experimentation in smart agri-food production as a whole system and – in particular for smart farming, smart agri-logistics and smart food awareness

  • identifying and developing smart agri-food-specific capabilities and

conceptual prototypes:

– demonstrating critical technological solutions including feasibility, – to further develop them in large scale experimentation and validation

  • identifying and describing existing experimentation structures and start

user community building,

  • resulting in an implementation plan for the next phase.

Basic Future Internet challenges in Agri-Food Logistics

  • Internet of Things (IoT)

– Well developed devices and approaches available for specific parts in a chain. – Cost of devices to focus on the object. – Handle the change of ownership, addressing produce, packaging and data. – Decoupled generation of data from usage of info about exceptions/deviations. – A chain/network perspective is required.

  • Telematics Systems

– Combining status, context and location for generating knowledge. – Dynamic change of business partners interrelationships. – Need for an advanced decentralised management

  • Of authentication & authorisation
  • Of revocation of access rights
  • For assuring privacy of data.

Basic Future Internet challenges in Agri-Food Logistics

  • Tracking and Tracing

– Systems needs to trace across and through the companies in the chain. – Central service providers are not accepted

  • Autonomous Systems

– There need to be a virtual identity with “mobile software components”. – Autonomous decision making and communication of systems imposes critical questions towards security and governance, especially in dynamic business networks. – Challenge of managing the real, the digital and virtual world!

  • Business Intelligence

– Tremendous improvements seem possible – but for whom? – Can agri-food SMEs benefit from BI or only oligopoly type retailers?

However, organisational conditions are crucial success factors!

Requirements Definition based on 7 Application Scenario’s

No. Name Main focus SL_1 Intelligent Supply Chain Event Management (SCEM) systems for the future food supply chain

  • Detection and proactive management of critical events, e.g. a

production delay in the mango supply chain SL_2 Exception notification based on fruits/vegetables chain

  • Usage of exception information (in particular laboratory info)

to control the food products in transit in case of any food risk event SL_3 Real-time and trusted information regarding product specifications and compliance

  • Tracking and tracing of product data

SL_4 Legal compliance and quality control

  • Assurance of product quality /safety, including security,

energy and environmental information SL_5 Quality Controlled Logistics (QCL) in the flower chain

  • Dynamic monitoring of quality parameters (temperature,

humidity, etc.) SL_6 Intelligent retail store replenishment of fresh products

  • Detecting decay of fresh products in the retail store and

automate replenishment SL_7 RFID implementation on pallets from warehouse to retail store

  • Control the load from warehouse to improve delivery

performance (decrease delays, damaged products, incorrect cooling, etc.)

Required Future Internet Capabilities

  • Peer to peer services for communication in the chain.
  • Decoupled/asynchronous data transport, complying to rural areas
  • Mobile services/agents as a kind of “app based” business interaction.
  • Online profiles to cope with scarce ICT resources
  • Updateable profile for objects
  • Entity authentication/authorisation also without Internet connection
  • Automatically add/revoke access rights in accordance to process demands
  • Identify aggregations of objects and mapping of identification schemes
  • Virtual identities in relation to context, location and ownership
  • Decentralised trust – supporting certification schemes
  • Mapping of interfaces by process experts
slide-20
SLIDE 20

To conclude

  • Future Internet is promising to accomplish specific demands of logistics

for dynamic agri-food networks

  • Requires specific capabilities concerning

– Dynamic interaction of organisations with heterogeneous or no ICT – Required agreements of competing actors in a discount driven environment – Willingness to share critical data vs. need for privacy and secure systems – The usage of IoT related devices in open chains w.r.t. ownership & costs – A need to achieve a critical mass for wide adoption

  • Main challenge:

– how to configure dedicated logistic information systems, that provide the right functionality in the specific context of agri-food supply chains, based on a generic internet platform?

  • Future activities:

– Prototype implementation just started. – Usage of Generic Enablers and cross use case validation.
