MIXMOVE[1] offers intelligent, horizontal collaboration between shipper, carrier, hub, distributor and the end customer. The aim is to increase load factors to boost efficiency and reduce costs, while at the same time creating more sustainable supply chains by making smart use of transport modes. The logistics process, taking place in terminals (nodes) is based on splitting logistics units down to parcel-level so that cross-docking can be used to produce logistics units with vastly improved load factors. Splitting up pallets down to parcel level ensures dynamically meeting customer needs. The consolidation/reconstruction process also makes decisions about how the logistics units are being moved from the terminal. Decisions about consolidation/reconstruction and use of transport services are based on a set of decision rules that can be changed at any time. Hence to solution offers resilience in case new barriers or disruptions should occur.
TRI-VIZOR[1] is the first impartial orchestrator for transport and logistics, that prepares, designs, and operates horizontal partnerships and collaborative communities among shippers. The company, originally raised as a spin-off of the University of Antwerp in 2008, offers specialized knowledge and solutions to prepare, create, support, and orchestrate flow bundling and horizontal partnerships in transport and logistics.
SMARTBOX[1] is an innovative and reusable transport box to increase efficiency and sustainability in logistic processes.
It was developed by GS1 under the framework of the “smartBOX” project[2] which developed the technical design of the smartBOX as reusable container, designed a standardized pooling system including tracking and tracing technology and a business model for intelligent order control and cost splitting, designed of vandalism-proof pick up and drop off terminals to be implemented at public hot spots as well as housing complexes, developed a comprehensive, intermodal transport concept to enable autonomous and bundled transports.
CRC Services[1] has developed a model to help companies to mutualize their flows for the last 100 km of goods delivery. The model allows suppliers to deliver goods from their distribution centers in collaboration with other supplier and to make savings by optimising orders and vehicle loads.
Building upon the FREVUE project results demonstrating that electric vans and trucks can offer a viable alternative to diesel vehicles, some of the consortium partners participated in further projects aimed at supporting the wider transition to electric vehicles for larger commercial fleets.

The MOSCA project provided a set of tools for improving the efficiency of door-to-door transport of goods in urban areas by collaboratively providing demand and supply-side information in one single environment/system. Five modules were developed as solutions to answer some peculiar urban freight problems and needs of the cities’ administrations and logistics and transport operators. Based on extensive research on urgent user needs, a set of advanced applications were designed. For these applications suitable modules have been identified and developed. The figure below provides a short summary of how the user requirements (external circle) impact the applications (middle circle), which were in turn mapped into the MOSCA modules (Inner circle). The MOSCA system moduls communicate with each other and further external systems. One of the modurban logisticse developed by MOSCA project is MOSCA TOUR, an algorithm to plan delivery tours for a vehicle fleet if variable traffic conditions are given. It is embedded into logistics application software, which must invoke it providing data of the orders to be serviced, the objective function, and the characteristics of the vehicles’ fleet.

The MOSCA system moduls communicate with each other and further external systems. It’s important to highlight that MOSCA aimed at exploiting project outputs supporting applications in existing and newly developed information systems. The information system development was market-led from the very beginning involving both transport operators and relevant service providers in extricating their needs.

Ports are the major gateway for both import and export flows. The 90% of the international trade (45 TUSD) is carried by sea. The volume of traffic for marine ports is expected to increase. The increasing demand collides with actual inefficiency. Today, the 80% of ports still rely on paper-based processes for general cargo. Freights on the yard are not tracked, there is no knowledge on where the specific freights are positioned, and all the port operations are still manual and left to the experience of port’s operators.
This implementation case also comes from COREALIS, a project aiming to define the future era of European ports using the latest technology available in order to face the greatest challenges on the agenda such as efficiency or environment.
Within this project, several pilots were implemented to test their outcomes. In this case it is of particular interest the pilot in the Port of Piraeus. Within this Living Lab, they tested the COREALIS Predictor Asset Management tool.
The following implementation case was developed as an outcome of the PIXEL project (Port IoT for Environmental Leverage) aiming to manage an efficient use of resources in ports, sustainable development and green growth of ports and surrounding cities/regions.
Within the outcomes, PIXEL developed an index named Port Environmental Index (PEI), which is a quantitative indicator of the environmental performance. The index is believed to be very challenging as it represents a huge progress in combining diverse sciences to achieve the results.
Circle Spa is a consulting company for management and processes, innovative technological solutions in the port, intermodal and logistics field. Their high participation in European projects allows them to have a deep knowledge and to make significant headway like the current implementation case.
The Port Rail Shunting Optimization System is the result of collecting the outcomes of an R&D project and implementing them in a CEF one.
Clusters 2.0 is a Horizon 2020 project setting up the potential of European Logistics Clusters for a sustainable, efficient and fully integrated transport system.
It relies on the Ten-T Network of Logistics Clusters promoting the intermodality and supports local and European development, while keeping neutral the local impacts such as congestion, noise, land use and local pollution levels.
