Logistics
The objective of Application Area 1 is to evaluate scenarios for smart logistics at terminal stations through application-level programmability.
The concept
Edge node: under-the-hood
- Advanced analytics apps. for optimised scheduling & allocation of resources
- Programmability for users to set priorities for special cases/AI-assisted scheduling/scheduled maintenance
Deployment
- UoP (University of Patras) 5G/IoT Testbed (hosts edge analytics, O-RAN infrastructure connectivity to the tracks, forklifts & the workers)
- Technologies/assets involved: OBUs and testing vehicles, applications for forklifts collision avoidance, vehicle route planning and logistics optimization, analytics, scheduling optimisers, blockchain, cloud support applications, programmability features and registration
INCODE aims to showcase…
- How to provide optimised services across the value chain through a super-slice among core & edge services
- A deployment over diverse infrastructures (incl. ORAN, P4, 5GC)
- How to enable a trusted framework (IoT attestation, drivers’ verification)
- Rules definition for optimised user-guided application deployment
- Programmable application features over IoT nodes
- Time/event triggered apps (e.g., at time of vehicle arrival)
… so as deliver the following values:
- Optimal allocation of human and vehicle resources
- Safe working environment & product mishandling prevention
- Optimal tasks identification based on position and operator needs
- Product quality assurance certifications or warnings
