Data Technology Challenges

Data integration1948EDI was inspired by Berlin Airlift and military logistic to exchange data over a 300 baud teletype modem.

1965The Holland- America steamship line begins sending trans-Atlantic shipping manifests using telex messages and converting the messages into tape that could be loaded into their computers.

1981ANSI X12 standards are published for the first time and encompass the transportation, food, drug, warehouse and banking industries

1985The EDIFACT EDI standard is created by the United Nations

1998First xml 1.0 defined

2001The AS/2 communications standard is published by the Uniform Code Council.

2012/Future- Any format- Any standard- Any protocol

- Speed- Agility/Flexibility- Interoperability- Scale

Added value, KPI data technology

• KPIs based on scan events in the physical flow, an example:

• Between HK-IN & HK-Out: threshold for alert is 48 hours

• Between HK-OUT and LUX-OUT: 36 hours

• LUX-OUT and FI-IN: 60 hours

• FI-IN and FI-OUT: 24 Hours

• Youredi monitors the transfers and submits alerts to correct recipients if alert thresholds exceed

• Same data can be used to output and visualize different KPI’s using integrated dashboard tool

• Input flows to the “Control Tower” for real-time monitoring and managing
