Prof. Halina Brdulak; Warsaw School ofEconomics
Poland is one of the biggest countries in Europe. With its unique location between Western and Eastern Europe as well as the former Soviet Republic countries (and beyond), Poland is in a unique position to further build on its already impressive achievements in terms of Transport & Logistics. Poland is a good place for investment from all industry sectors. Foreign entrepreneurs, who are considering investing in Poland, come mainly from the automotive sector, Business Process Outsourcing, R&D, aviation, food industry and IT. This creates good potential for
development T&L sector. Last but not least Poland is a good source of highly qualified workforce that is able to act in a changing environment. This presentation will open your eyes to both the achievements to date and the potential waiting to be tapped.

Carrier-Centric Real-Time Event capture in Road
Transportation
David Quesada; LogiCon Living Lab Spain One of the biggest challenges in today’s logistics is to get real-time accurate event information (collected, delivered) from the field. Large LSPs and Shippers have developed Mobile applications that can be downloaded to drivers’ smart phones. All of these have been specific to the LSP or Shipper meaning a driver could have to dozens of different Delivery/Collect Event apps. As a result such apps have not been very widely adopted by the carriers in the market (specifically SMEs). As part of the LogiCon programme a different approach was developed and piloted. The Mobile app would be Driver/Carrier-centric and thus would allow the driver to manage and report on ALL Deliveries / Collections regardless of Shipper/Forwarder within the same App. The expectation is that Carriers (especially SMEs) would be willing to use that single App than the dozens of Shipper/LSP specific version. This presentation will share the results from this new approach.10:15 - 10:30 Break 10:30 - 11:30

The Physical Internet
Sergio Barbarino (P&G)The European Logistic Innovation Platform has adopted the Physical Internet concept as the 2050 Vision on how to reorganize Freight logistics for efficiency and sustainability. The Physical
Internet in a nutshell is a widespread asset sharing idea, like it is the case today for
telecommunication infrastructure. If one looks at sea shipping Physical Internet is already a reality….where the standard “freight” packet is called the Container. The real challenge is to extend the concept to continental flows down to the last mile. Modulushca, One of the first Physical Internet project co-funded by the EU Commission has worked on the requirements to implement such modular standard system. Sergio will present key results and the standardisation needs both in physical dimensions of the standard modules and in identification and data
sharing.

Unilever's approach to Transportation
Martin Kleinhempel (Ultralogistik & Supply Chain) Transport Process and Technology ManagerFred Kempkes (Unilever) - Interoperability Manager. In this presentation you’ll learn about Unilever’s activities and achievements regarding “in-sourcing” of transport logistics into Unilever operated control towers globally with focus on Europe. This presentation will also cover how Unilever used GS1 standards in context of transport management.
Block 2 Connecting Channels
14:30 - 15:00
Building the Omni Channel Supply Chain
Frits van den Bos, Innovation Manager GS1-NLOnline retail is disrupting traditional retail and forces traditional retailers into a new way of working: Omni Channel retail. How does this impact the supply chain and what does it mean for GS1 standards? Consumers are in the lead. They will require products that match their needs and will demand detailed product information. In order to serve them well the Omni Channel supply network will consist of ever more parties, more products and will be highly responsive to the consumer needs. Collaboration, flexibility and information sharing will be key capabilities to drive efficiency. GS1 standards adapted to the new market situation will continue to support retailers to face the challenges in building their Omni Channel Supply Chains.
15:00 - 15:30
Warehousing and Last Mile Transport by SME LSP
using GS1 XML; LSP operates for world-wide
manufacturer of dairy products.
Carlo Bouw, Van Dalen
Implementation and Integration among supply chain partners is often viewed as "feasible" only for large corporations. This case study will show that such business integration is also achievable for Small and Medium Enterprises.
Van Dalen is a Dutch SME LSP who has adopted and implemented the GS1 XML Warehousing message set in collaboration with one of their major clients (a Dairy Product Manufacturer - top 6 worldwide). Carlo will share their implementation experience.
16:00 – 16:30
Last Mile transparency for SME e-retailers
Stephane Tomczak; eCommerce Europe eCommerce in Europe is increasing rapidly especially in terms of numbers of e-retailers. Finding and then Providing cross border last mile delivery services that are affordable is an increasing challenge for these e-retailers. SME e-retailers often cannot even find delivery optionsinternational delivery options and if found the services offered and their pricing are often difficult to interpret. In addition contracting services in a foreign is also often a daunting prospect. In fact the challenge is such that the European Commission has recognised this is hampering the development of the eCommerce market in Europe. They have therefore asked for proposals for IT solution that would help create transparency into the available cross border delivery options and also provide some guidance for the contracting of these services in foreign countries. 16:30 – 17:00
SSCC adoption in German Courier, Express and
Parcel (CEP) Market
Hans Georg Lohl; BUNDESVERBAND DER KURIER-EXPRESS-POST-DIENSTE e.V.Courier, Express and Parcel Companies do not yet operate – as freight forwarders do –
on GS1 standards. This results in implementation of isolated solutions with highly
complex interface definitions between players.
GS1 Germany and BdKEP are driving the adoption of GS1 standards by CEP companies.
BdKEP shows how GS1 identifiers for packing-units (SSCC) and electronic data
interchange (EDI) as well as standardised label design can be put into practice.

Ocean Visibility Challenges and Solutions
(INTTRA)
GS1 US; INTTRAShippers and Forwarders often state that the availability and quality of executing progress visibility for ocean freight is falling short of today's business requirements. In response to this need, the market for providing Visibility solutions for ocean freight is growing.
INTTRA will share with us their view on the current and future Challenges for providing Visibility Solutions for Ocean (and beyond) and how they think these Challenges may be addressed. 12.00 - 12.30
Adding Intelligence to Visibility data
Frank Knoors (Logit One);Marcin Hajdul (ILiM)
All execution progress visibility solution providers will be able to capture events from the transport network to various extents. Coverage in terms of geographies and modes of transport as well as granularity remains a challenge for most of them. Furthermore, the event data is often just captured PER EVENT and is NOT INTERPRETED IN CONJUNCTION with other event data and the information available for the related Consignments and/or Shipments within those
Consignments.
In this presentation, Frank and Marcin will explain why this is a problem (e.g. for planning and exception management) and what solutions for these problems exist and have been
implemented with success in real-life.

Intermodal Study and pilot by Swedish User
Companies
Mats Björkqvist; GS1 Sweden
GS1 Sweden and a sizeable and varied User community interested in improving the
interoperability of Ocean & Ports with other modes of transport (e.g. Road and Rail) have over the past year or so conducted a design study. The results of the study have been and are being translated into actual pilots to achieve this improved multi-modal interoperability.
GS1 Sweden and representation from their User community will explain the state of play. 13:00 - 14:00

GS1 in ports – Port Call Optimization through
EPCIS based visibility of nautical and terminal
services
Captain Ben van Scherpenzeel, Port of Rotterdam
Modern Ports face highly challenging expectations from Ocean Shipping Lines regarding port call dwell times. In order for these dwell times to be as short as possible the activities and services rendered to a vessel whilst in Port need to be very tightly aligned in terms of timing because in most cases these activities are interdependent to a large extent.
Based on the use of EPCIS and GS1 Global Location Numbers (GLN), Port of Rotterdam and the global consortium it is a member of, are piloting an innovative solution to enable much closer alignment of activities within the Port.
