MARSEILLE: Traxens, a company providing high-value data and services
for the supply chain industry, announces it has led the development of
the first standards for smart container data exchange published by the
United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business
(UN/CEFACT). Business Requirements Specifications (BRS) delivers
internationally standardized messaging to facilitate the use of smart
container data.
Although many smart containers are already in use, there are no global
standards in place to capture and communicate consistently and
multimodally the array of data they generate. Initiated in October 2017
under the leadership of Hanane Becha, innovation & standards Senior
Manager at Traxens, the ‘Smart Containers BRS’ project aims to provide
clear global standards for the exchange of data to ensure
interoperability and easy integration within different systems. Data
will be generated once and shared between multiple stakeholders,
platforms and systems; improving data exchange, automated workflow and
alert generation.
These new standards will be the basis for API development, bringing
technology into every aspect of the supply chain and providing powerful
and innovative tools.
“This technology can be combined with other innovations such as
blockchain, big data or data pipelines to provide even more uses in the
trading community. In all of these cases, though, we see that creating
clear, unambiguous message exchange standards will unlock the further
potential of enhanced data,” said Jacques Delort, Managing Director of
Traxens.
“Thanks to smart containers standardized messages, the computer
representation of the supply chain will become synchronized with the
physical world, increasing the speed and accuracy of decision-making,
the automation as part of transport and logistics execution and the
seamless collaboration between stakeholders. Enhanced data will improve
visibility and predictability for stakeholders as well as for regulatory
agencies who need detailed information on consignments before they
arrive at the border,” said Hanane Becha, Innovation & Standards
Senior Manager at Traxens.
We are proud to pave the way to better
data integration and advanced smart container services by bringing the
shipping industry together around a common standard,” said Mathieu
Friedberg, Senior Vice President – Commercial & Agencies Network,
CMA CGM Group.
“Such standardized solutions are key to advance digitalization and to
seize all the opportunities offered by smart containers.”
