The Glass Pipeline – IoT in Motion

* Source: IATA e-Freight diagram

Shipper labels each box with an RFID tag for use in transporting across the supply chain

Forwarder associates “house air waybill HAWB” label to the shipper RFID tag

Forwarder consolidates to Carrier Carrier associates “master air waybill” MAWB label to HAWB / RFID tag

Carrier delivers MAWB to Forwarder

Forwarder deconsolidates and delivers HAWB to Consignee

Creating the Glass Pipeline: a single RFID label

Challenges…

•  Labeling – the shipper, forwarder, and carrier each have their own label formats and needs –  The boxes need a physical label for manual handling purposes –  The piece ID association needs to match the RFID label (e.g., if the

shipper thinks piece 1 is the iPhones and piece 2 is the iPads; the forwarder or carrier should not mix them up

–  The shipper doesn’t know how the forwarder will consolidate and send it, so the box cannot be pre-labeled with the house air waybill number and master air waybill number

–  The manual labor involved with a large number of boxes is significant


Challenges…

•  Multiple providers involved in the supply chain •  RFID / piece ID tracking capability not everywhere •  Too much data at the piece level


Solution

•  Flexibility –  Start where you can, label when you need to do

•  Shipper, Forwarder, Carrier

–  Provide web services for interfacing electronically, associating and cross-referencing to the piece ID

–  Use scanning or RFID technology appropriately –  Design for piece ID visibility loss and re-gaining positive status –  Consolidate piece ID data and remove clutter based on the audience

We’ve seen the Air Canada use case overview

… and the advanced air cargo Logistics Management System they use …

So, a logical extension to the process is making normal, ‘physical things,

that are not connected via a network or IP address, visible, so we can connect them to the digital world

seamlessly… But how?

By 1st Printing,

Attaching and Associating RFID Labels to

“Physical Things”

We can connect

“Physical Things”

to the

“Digital World”

Then using RFID Readers to read and locate RFID Labels

CargoAware uses a blend of the latest evolving technologies, tailored for each process area and requirement. This, along with special algorithms provides real time data collection from the “Edge of the Business” for product movement, location and even environmental conditions… in many instances as a ‘Hands-Free’ solution. Blending different technologies, from mobile computer terminals, to bar code scanners, to handheld RFID readers, to hands-free RFID readers provides incredible visibility to normally unconnected Physical Things

Real Time Actionable Data across the FULL SUPPLY CHAIN

Seamless messaging and integration across multiple supply chain partners and systems…

IoT in Motion

Improved Efficiency, Safety, Security, Quality and Revenue for Immediate ROI Accurate metrics for continuous process improvement and business intelligence

Our Moderator, Dave Eagleson, constantly reminds us all that, “Capturing a lot of real time edge data is cool, but it is not worth much if the data we collect can’t be made actionable.”

Through detailed data collection and piece level location service, coupled with integrated messaging to air cargo and other logistic provider systems, CargoAware couples information about “Unconnected Physical Things” with the “Digital World’, providing real time actionable data, benefits and competitive differentiation.

IoT Use Cases

Internet Of Things…

IoT Use Cases


I is not simply the Infrastructure needed… •  Information

–  What, where, who, when

•  Insight –  Why, what for

•  Income –  What’s in it for me/you/us?


All Things are not the same •  The information, insight, and

income drivers are different


The future of IoT is mass deployment •  And to get there, we’ll need

–  Capability •  Products that gather and provide the right type of information (RFID, variety of

sensors, real-time reporting, etc.) –  Characteristics

•  Form factors that match to use cases (labels, tags, cards) –  Capacity

•  Will there be enough available when I need them? –  Cost

•  Can I afford to deploy them? Is there an ROI? –  Complete Solution

•  Supplies information, insight, income


How is RR Donnelley supporting IoT? •  Implementing a high-volume, flexible production system for

IoT solutions –  Printed Electronics combined with a variety of final form factors –  Leveraging the best of print with the best of traditional electronics in a

hybrid manufacturing solution •  Printed circuits, printed batteries, traditional logic and a mix of sensors

–  Building customized solutions based on business needs •  Building and supporting data service infrastructure

–  From Intranet to Internet, enabling the insights our customers need to drive value with IoT
