SUPPLYCHAIN 4.0 – Development of supply chain logistics solutions for manufacturing companies of construction and public works machinery based on the latest technologies. IoT, Big Data and Cloud Computing
File number:
The manufacturers of machinery for and public works in Spain maintain both high levels of export of its products as well as the supply of its own products. components at the global level. This means that they must perform operations complex logistics with different stakeholders, such as suppliers of components, customers, distribution centers, and distribution operators. in many countries around the world, and immersed in transport chains. supply of very large areas where, in addition to suffering from the usual problems associated with these chains, suffer from other problems such as those derived from their low bargaining power, since they are usually small and medium-sized companies.
The main problems faced by the companies are the following manufacturers in their supply chains are focused primarily on the lack of visibility of both business relevant information and business information (expected demand, occasional or atypical needs of customers for (e.g., the number of customers and the number of customers own logistical processes (availability of components in stock in suppliers, actual lead times at any given time, availability of transportation, ). Also relevant is the lack of visibility of the goods in transit, whether they are critical supplies for the manufacturing or its own finished machines that are traveling through the supply chain to the customers (location, time of delivery, time of delivery, etc.). delivery, etc ).
To have this information available in an accurate and timely manner. the right times, it would enable Spanish manufacturers to be able to make relevant decisions that directly affect the business (customer delivery planning, production planning), management of transportation, etc.), as well as the financial status of the company. company (reduction of stock levels while maintaining service levels). reduction of component purchase batches, implementation of shopping in more local markets, etc.).
This project foresees to create solutions tailored to the needs of the manufacturers of Spanish construction machinery and public works machinery using the BigData, Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud Computing technologies. combined, in order to determine the level of applicability in this sector, as well as to measure the potential for advantages and savings in logistics processes thanks to its use.
This The project has received grant assistance under the support program for Innovative Business Groups (AEIs). This program to support the strengthening of innovation clusters se the European strategy to improve the competitiveness of the European Union’s innovation.
The groups that can benefit from the grants of the program are those entities whose innovative potential and mass are The critical acclaim has earned them recognition from the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness (MINECO) through its registration in the Registry of Innovative Business Groups.
Technical information on the project and its objectives:
The The objective of this project is the development of a set of solutions, based on the combined use of BigData technologies, Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud Computing, which allow for the increased visibility and efficiency in logistics processes of the global supply chain of machinery and equipment manufacturers in the Spanish construction and public works.
Secondary objectives will include:
