Export Management Platform 4.0 optimizing processes
Even though work is still progressing intensively on the new platform, the network partner DAKOSY is already presenting the new digitalized, networked working world to those involved in the export chain. The new Export Management Platform – EMP 4.0 is an internet-based cloud solution where, going forward, all information related to transport will be made available at a central point.
Up to 15 players are involved in every export opera- tions process. Each one has valuable information for a third party with whom they have no contractual relati- onship. For example, neither the shipping line nor the terminal automatically receive information, when the container pre-carriage has been delayed. If a box does not arrive, it may lead to its storage space on both the terminal and the ship remaining vacant.
For the piloting phase, starting this year, the project team has prioritized six applications that have been designated by all involved to achieve the greatest ad- ded-value. These include tracking & tracing along the entire transport chain, the plan-actual comparison or trouble shooter, dangerous goods registration, docu-
ment cloud, empty container release and vessel arri- vals/departures.
With ‘Track & Trace’ the container’s actual position data along the entire transport chain is automatically made available. With ‘Trouble Shooter’ or plan-actual comparison, another application, incidents are recog- nized and forwarded as push messages. This means that incidents in the transport process can be recog- nized in good time, storage positions can be realloca- ted, demurrage fees and waiting time avoided. DAKOSY’s role in the IHATEC project is that of a bridge-builder. They have consciously kept the tech- nical preconditions for using the platform low. For the sender, there is hardly any additional effort.
