Logistics

Global supply chains are subject to constant disruptions that spread through transport networks. These delays incur costs, a lack of transparency hinders decision-making and traditional logistics systems are struggling to cope with the transition to fossil-free transport. In cities, construction transport causes emissions and traffic congestion. To manage uncertainty, optimise resources and make quick decisions based on real-time data, companies and transport operators need smarter solutions.

Enabling seamless transports & logistics

Seamlessness in transports is an important ingredient for sustainability. To enable seamless transports, RISE puts emphasis on empowering transport nodes to become more integrated in the transport chain.

Expertise

3D-printning and Just-In-Demand logistik

Solutions targeting the transport and logistic sector are today in most cases built on the assumption that goods movements are physical. But with additive manufacturing production can be moved closer to the customer and products, transport and warehousing digitalized to create a Just-In-Demand Logi…

50 international transport operators benefit from the Virtual Watch Tower

A storm on the other side of the world. A strike in a European port. Delays that ripple through global transport chains. When transport disruptions strike, decisions need to be made quickly – but without real-time visibility, companies are often left in the dark. The Virtual Watch Tower project is changing the playing field by connecting transport actors in a decentralised data-sharing environment – where each party controls its own data.

Virtual network improves supply chain risk and disruption management

Uncertainty about shipping arrival times is a major source of dissatisfaction among transport buyers. One solution is the 'Virtual Watch Tower Network' – a Facebook for transport, where everyone has their own page. Information about disruptions to deliveries and other important events is shared between stakeholders, giving cargo owners greater insight into the transport chain.

Projects in logistics

Through research and development projects, RISE is driving the development of sustainable logistics forward. From CCS logistics and just-in-demand production to digital tools and high-capacity vehicles – solutions are being created here that make supply chains more efficient and robust.
