Section outline

  • Project Summary, Objectives and Expected Impacts

    Collapse all Expand all

    Digitalisation and the Internet of Things have fostered innovation across various industries. However, the emergence of the Physical Internet (PI) has recently showcased its ability to deliver crucial benefits. Notably, its implementation with Carrefour and Casino in France has shown the potential for a 32 % increase in profits. PI has demonstrated a potential 60 % reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and a 50 % shift of volume from road to rail. The EU-funded SENSE project aims to establish a solid foundation and framework. Specifically, it will strive to create a stable framework for industries and sectors, enhance comprehension of PI, provide access to new advancements, and support organisations in adopting PI.

    GOALS

      • To reach a broad consensus about the Physical Internet and the road map
      • To build a strong methodology to monitor and evaluate the implementation of the Physical Internet
      • To establish a Physical Internet knowledge platform
      • To achieve a better alignment between stakeholders (EU members states, the European Commission, etc.) and to promote a stronger cooperation with P.I.-initiatives in the U.S. and Asia.

    Project duration: 1 October 2017 - 30 September 2020
