Worldwide Safety Standards

• The Occupational Safety and Health

Administration (OSHA) is an agency

• f the United States Department of

Labor. Congress established the agency under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, which President Richard M. Nixon signed into law on December 29, 1970. OSHA's mission is to "assure safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training,

• utreach,

education and assistance". The agency is also charged with enforcing a variety of whistleblower statutes and regulations.

• The European Agency for Safety and

Health at Work (EU-OSHA) is a decentralised agency of the European Union with the task of collecting, analysing and disseminating relevant information that can serve the needs

• f people involved in safety and health

at work. Set up in 1994 by Council Regulation (EC) No 2062/94 of 18 July 1994, EU-OSHA is based in Bilbao, Spain, where it has a staff

Heavy Equipment Accidents

• 20,000 employees are injured, 100

fatally annually in USA in MHE accidents

• 25%
• f

incidents are caused by

• verturning of forklifts
• When employees work with warehouse

heavy equipment such as a forklift every day, they tend to get very comfortable using the equipment. This can be very dangerous if the operator begins to underestimate the danger of the machine.

• Ensure that all employees understand

the potential hazards a forklift or other warehouse machines present and never get too comfortable. Remain cautious and careful when

• perating

any

• machine. Always follow the specific

instructions provided for the equipment and avoid situations where a forklift accident is likely.

Impact of Internet of Things (IoT)

• ver Supply Chain and Logistics
• Having the capability to track

raw or finished materials and the associated features such as count, type and geographical data with the Internet of Things technology through an entire life cycle from a tier-n supplier to the final consumer will have a positive influence on inventory management, sourcing strategies and logistics costs

• The decision-making capacity
• f smart devices within an IoT

enabled supply chain network affects the overall supply chain structure. Traditional supply chain tasks in procurement, supplier management, supply chain planning and logistics is streamlined by intelligent, data-driven systems in a collaborative multi-enterprise environment.

Supply Chain Planning

• IoT can be used to sense demand

for finished product by using embedded intelligent devices. IoT will enable the supply chain to automatically track available finished product across multiple distribution centres with sales channels indicating current demand. If no inventory is currently available, the system can check raw material availability and manufacturing capacity, leading it to send an automatic production trigger to the appropriate entity.

• Further

up the supply chain, companies like Siemens will sell you software that sits in your manufacturing test stations. This software will send real time test results, per component, to a central system that looks for patterns that would indicate a human operator is "cheating" a component through the

• test. Things like retesting (which can

expose the component to more heat than is recommended)

• r

an excessive build up of a bone pile (where components are scrapped after failures, sticking the manufacturer with the cost).

Supply Chain Sourcing

• When

a supplier cannot deliver on time, that event could trigger an automatic search for an alternate supplier within the interconnected intelligent

• system. This would ensure

no disruption in the production schedule, customer service

• r

revenue stream.

• It can also tell a manufacturer

when their overseas line is shut down (for some holiday,

• r

just because everybody thought it was a good day to go to the beach). All of these things can allow a brand to have more control

• ver

a component

• r

even

• utsourced

final assembly manufacturer. This control means less risk

• f

bad products, of lost batches, and ultimately of sunk cost.

IoT – Warehousing

• In one of the latest initiatives to

get its own supply chain fully wired, Cisco has been installing thousands of sensors in a plant in Malaysia to monitor and reduce energy consumption. Mr. Kern said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal that the team leading the project believes that implementing the system throughout Cisco’s worldwide production sites will help reduce energy consumption by 20% to 30%, translating into tens of millions of dollars in cost savings.

• Cisco has been looking at broader

supply chains as a part of its efforts to spread the idea of Internet of Things, the term for the web-enabled connections that can allow devices to transmit information about such things as energy consumption or

• productivity. Cisco’s Consulting

Services group, for instance, is working with logistics provider DHL on a project to send real- time data on warehouse

• perations, for instance.

Smart Manufacturing is getting popular across manufacturing industries which means usage of advanced technologies, usage

• f internet of things and applying

analytics data to make manufacturing more productive and responsive.

• IoT enabled factory equipment and

manufacturing units will be able to transmit temperature and machine utilization parameters, change equipment settings and

• ptimize

process workflows. IoT devices will be able to generate alerts on lifetime expiration dates and maintenance to increase

• verall

supply chain performance and efficiency.

• IoT is also helping the food processing and

manufacturing sector by continuous monitoring of factory climate conditions and detection of the presence of allergens.

• Used to be that there mighy be a rep from a

manufacturer there when you delivered, now there's a Wi-Fi chip in a test unit sending back data in real time to a dude at Apple who contracted a manufacturer who contracted a supplier who has the relationship with the material shop that's like, working with

Logistics

• IoT can manage stock in a warehouse and

distribution centres with automatic inventory flow and control mechanism to reduce out-

• f-stock situations. IoT is also being used in

identifying wastes and implementing waste reduction techniques.

• Key to in-transit visibility is cloud-based GPS

and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technologies, which provide identity, location, and other tracking information. Fleet management solutions are utilizing the technologies to save fuel costs, optimize fleet routes by monitoring traffic conditions. Data gathered from GPS and RFID technologies not only allows automation of shipping and delivery by exactly predicting the time of arrival.

• By tapping the data gathered by these

technologies, detailed visibility of an item is provided all the way from the manufacturer to the retailer.

• According to the Food and Agriculture

Organization of the United Nations, about one third of food perishes in transit every year. The cold chain industry is also getting the benefits of IoT to ensure temperature stability which impact the quality of a product in-transit.

• Embedded sensors in products provide

visibility into customer behaviour and product usage.

IoT In Logistics – The Internet-Connected Engine Will Change Trucking

• It’s happened to all of us. You’re driving down the road and the

“check engine” light appears on your dashboard. It could be something simple, like time for an oil change, or it could be something bigger. What do you do? Lose your car for a day while you take it to a service station? Keep on driving and hope for the best?

• DTNA’s (Daimler Trucks North America) engines continuously

record performance data and send it to their Detroit Diesel Customer Support Center (CSC). When a fault occurs, a team of CSC Technicians examine the data in real time and offer a

• recommendation. If it’s just a routine repair, technicians can help

the driver schedule a service appointment for some convenient time and location.

• But if it’s a more severe condition, they might say “You need to

bring your truck in for service right away. There’s a service station 75 miles down the road. When you get there, we’ll have a service bay open and all of the parts we need on hand. You should be in and out in two hours.”

• eCommerce enables parts movement seamlessly across service

stations

Discussion Issues

• Warehouses in this region need

to be upgraded in terms of safety, security, health—comments, pros and cons?

• There are safety and health

centric standards applicable in many advanced countries. Has the region adopted such standards inside warehouses to full extent? Is there a need and scope of region specific safety, health standards to be devised, communicated and regulated?

• What’s the most pressing supply

chain issue in region and recommendation to resolve— policy or strategy centric?

• Region has challenges in terms of

not meeting requirements of food or pharma cold chain supply chain standards. There could be a need of bringing processes, policies and regulatory mechanisms.

• How do you see adoption trend
• f automation in supply chain

space? Robots are coming in at multiple work places. Warehouses will see more and more robots across globe.

• Automation in warehouses will

need investment. Is there well authenticated rate of return promised from automation?
