4. Just-in-Time-Excellence

Precision landing instead of buffer stock

Within international supply chains, time precision is a critical success factor. We support you in transforming rigid logistics structures into flexible, highly available networks. By linking ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) data with your resource planning in real time, we minimize costly waiting times and significantly increase the handling capacity of your systems.

Optimized processes through intelligent timing

This synchronization is achieved by linking physical handling and digital data streams. The result is a cross-system control system based on the following pillars:

  • Dynamic scheduling: Dynamic time slot control for flexible processes.
  • Slot management: Active avoidance of truck congestion at the terminals.
  • Intermodal synchronization: Seamless connection of rail, road and waterways.
  • End-to-end visibility: cross-system transparency across the entire process flow.

This sovereignty in timing allows you to react to deviations independently of rigid third-party specifications.

The strategic levers

To achieve just-in-time excellence, we translate complex data streams into directly usable recommendations for action:

  • Predictive ETA: Get precise arrival times instead of just timetable data. You gain control over your time planning, taking into account weather, ports of call and traffic volumes.
  • Automated Gate Solutions: OCR recognition of licence plates and container numbers for automated validation against your EDI data –for accelerated throughput with minimized manual intervention.
  • Resilience management: Automated alerts in the event of deviations allows you to proactively reschedule before bottlenecks occur.
  • Hinterland connection: The seamless integration of rail operators and freight forwarders ensures a cycle-optimized connection across all modes of transport.

This intelligent linking of sensor technology and logistics data gives you the agility you need to manage your resources efficiently at all times.

Message types & protocols for JIT

The intelligent linking of operational real-time data and standardized status messages ensures your ability to act:

 

Technology / Standard

Message type / data point

Function

EDIFACT

VESDEP / ANCRPT

Arrival and departure messages from ships (Berthing information)

API / JSON

Truck Slot Booking

Digital reservation of time slots for truck handling

AIS (satellite/radio)

NMEA streams

Real-time positions of ships for exact calculation of arrival

EDIFACT

IFTSTA (status)

The "heartbeat message": current status of the container (e.g. "gate-out")

EPCIS (GS1)

Event Data

Standardized exchange of event data across company boundaries
