CONTENT DIRECTOR JANET NODAR TALKS TO CATERPILLAR’S DIETER DEGRYSE, FEATURED SPEAKER AT BREAKBULK EUROPE 2017

A key change is that the data is always available and continuously updated.

This is bringing a host of new opportunities to using the data, both in diagnostic way as well as in a predictive way.

How do you define the ‘internet of things’ as applies to an OEM like Caterpillar?

Can you discuss one or two specific examples?

The internet of things is a way to describe that all kinds of devices are connected. For an OEM like Caterpillar, it means that every piece of machinery or power system can be a connected device.

Just to highlight 2 examples briefly – In one project GPS trackers were added to units and used for real time tracking from an overseas factory to jobsite delivery— allowing us to monitor delivery execution and maintain delivery dates.

We currently have more than 3 million machines operating around the world in the field. These all have a module on board that connects them and allows the machine to broadcast and receive data.

In another project, the signal from the truck’s onboard unit is being used to locate equipment and manage pick-up and delivery based on geofencing processes.

How could this change Cat’s global logistics program?

The connected device is, in the first instance, being looked at in its operating environment. The data is used to monitor and optimize performance, plan maintenance or review its specific application.

At the same time the information from the connected device can be used for other applications. When looking at transportation and logistics activities, this can support the traditional ‘track and trace’ and event management processes and at the same time enable drive innovation.

To supplement the information that is provided by the machine itself, the information from carrying devices such as vessels (with their AIS signal) and trucks (with onboard telematics units), can be used. Or a GPS tracking device can be added to any cargo to help create the digital twin of the physical cargo.

EU8 BREAKBULK EUROPE TECHZONE www.breakbulk.com/bbeu2017-techzone

This initial experience is now being used to create a comprehensive framework for further deployment of digital projects from the transportation and logistics perspective.

What are the benefits of making these changes?

The benefits range from improved velocity to improved event management, more effective transportation execution, improved efficiencies and ultimately improved customer experience and customer satisfaction.

Are there security risks associated with these initiatives?

In the internet of things we have to accept that cybersecurity and the risk of hacking into devices exists. So we have to strike a delicate balance of access to the data and properly protecting the devices—a challenge as we deploy solutions in the future.

Dieter Degryse General Manager – Transportation Operations EAME Caterpillar

TERMS TO KNOW INTERNET OF THINGS A thing, in the context of the Internet of things (IoT), is an entity or physical object that has a unique identifier, an embedded system and the ability to transfer data over a network. Given the prevalence of wireless technology, the increasing ability to miniaturize computer components and develop them inexpensively, and the enormously extended range of IPv6 addresses, that capacity could be developed for almost anything imaginable. In addition to dedicated computing devices such as PCs, smartphones and heavy machinery, the list of potential things is almost unlimited.

DIGITAL TWIN A digital twin is a virtual representation of a product. It can be used in product design, simulation, monitoring, optimization and servicing and is an important concept in the industrial Internet of Things. The concept of the digital twin requires three elements: the physical product in real space, its digital twin in virtual space and the information that links the two.

GEOFENCING Geo-fencing (geofencing) is a feature in a software program that uses the global positioning system (GPS) or radio frequency identification (RFID) to define geographical boundaries. Geo-fencing allow an administrator to set up triggers so when a device enters (or exits) the boundaries defined by the administrator, an alert is issued.

Applications: Drone management, fleet monitoring, human resource management, resource tracking CYBERSECURITY Cybersecurity are the technologies, processes and practices designed to protect networks, computers, programs and data from attack, damage or unauthorized access. One of the most problematic elements of cybersecurity is the constantly evolving nature of security risks. The traditional approach has been to focus most resources on the most crucial system components and protect against the biggest known threats, but this approach has failed. To deal with the current environment, advisory organizations advise a more proactive and adaptive approach, including continuous monitoring and real-time assessments.

IN THE TECHZONE: FRAUNHOFER CML MUNIN (MARITIME UNMANNED NAVIGATION THROUGH INTELLIGENCE IN NETWORKS) AUTONOMOUS SHIP NAVIGATION BUT NOT WITHOUT LAND-BASED CONTROL Currently, driver-less cars, aerial drones and drone ships are front and center in the traffi c system development. Will technological progress combined with modern data transmission and data transfer also bring us unmanned subways and unmanned commercial cargo ships?

In recent years, the Fraunhofer CML took a strong interest first in the EUfunded research project MUNIN (Maritime Unmanned Navigation through Intelligence in Networks) and then in solutions for autonomously cruising commercial ships. The Fraunhofer researchers pursue the latter solutions in collaboration with the South Korean shipbuilder DSME. Today, many operations on commercial ships no longer require a crew. To keep some hands-on control over huge investment objects like cargo ships and their loads,

the shipowners may use control stations on land such as the Shore Control Center SCC developed by the Fraunhofer CML. The SCC will observe and will be able to control a fleet of autonomously navigating ships if a situation requires it. In regular operations, these ships do not require external controls.

The Shore Control Center is able to intervene quickly in the event the embedded electronic systems onboard cannot handle a situation.

We are unable to predict when unmanned ships will cross oceans without a crew. There is however no doubt that already developed components for the observation and control of vessels at sea exist to support the work of the crew. These components have proven to be important solutions and may also be of particular help for providers of Vessel Traffic Services VTS.

ABOUT MUNIN The research project MUNIN started under the direction of Fraunhofer CML in September 2012. Eight European research and industry partners from the countries Germany (University of Applied Sciences Wismar, MarineSoft GmbH, Fraunhofer CML), Norway (MARINTEK, aptomar AS), Sweden (Chalmers University), Iceland (Marorka ehf ) und Ireland (University College Cork), compiled the concept of an autonomously operating ship during the 36-month project term.

The main focus was on the development of the autonomous decisive systems aboard a bulk carrier which is distant-supervised in shore control centres. Further information can be found at www.unmanned-ship. org/munin.

Innovative Logistics for the Maritime industry The Fraunhofer Center for Maritime Logistics and Services CML develops and optimizes processes and systems along the maritime supply chain.

Within practically oriented research projects CML supports public and private sector clients of port operations as well as from the logistics services industry and from the shipping business. Intense process analysis, dedicated planning tools and fresh ideas combined with a view to green topics help us plan and develop innovative solutions for the maritime supply chain.

VOLGA-DNEPR’S “CARGO SUPERMARKET” SUPPORTS DEUGRO’S LOGISTICS PROJECT FOR NEW GAS PLANT IN NORTHWEST SIBERIA’S YAMAL PENINSULA Volga-Dnepr Airlines operated a series of An-124-100 and IL-76TD-90VD charter flights and utilized the scheduled Boeing 747 freighter services run by its sister airline, AirBridgeCargo (ABC), to help deugro Airfreight GmbH deliver vital equipment for a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) production plant on the Yamal Peninsula in northwest Siberia.

The Volga-Dnepr Group’s unique “Cargo Supermarket” service helped deugro find the best service/cost combinations for the flights, which operated out of Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.

The project began in 2015 and in 2016 the airfreight part started with two IL-76TD-90VD flights from Frankfurt-Hahn Airport to Sabetta, Russia. The first flight carried 46 pieces weighing a total of 29 tons, followed three weeks later by a second transport with another 31 pieces totaling 17 tons. In November, more equipment destined for the LNG plant was carried on board AirBridgeCargo’s scheduled 747 freighter services from Singapore to Frankfurt and from Shanghai Pudong Airport to Amsterdam, from where the shipments then continued their journey by sea. The most recent flights included an IL-76TD-90VD out of Liege and an An-124-100 out of Dalian, China, both at the end of January 2017.

Tatyana Arslanova, Vice President of Strategic Management at the VolgaDnepr Group said, “These air services operated for deugro support a major ocean freight project carrying cargo consolidated in Europe to northwest Siberia. With the winter season affecting ocean freight operations due to the build-up of ice, the time-critical shipments carried by Volga-Dnepr and AirBridgeCargo are enabling construction of the LNG plant to progress before severe winter weather slows down the project.”

More flights are planned for 2017 using the Volga-Dnepr Group fleet.

LAUNCH VEHICLE ARRIVES AT EUROPE’S SPACEPORT ONBOARD VOLGA-DNEPR IL-76TD-90VD FREIGHTER Volga-Dnepr Airlines has delivered the third stage of the Soyuz-ST launch vehicle to Europe’s Spaceport in Cayenne.

Its transportation from Samara in Russia to French Guiana is in readiness for the vehicle to launch the U.S. SES-15 satellite into orbit in early April for SES, one of the world’s leading satellite communications companies.

Progress Space Rocket Centre, which commissioned the flight, is one of Volga-Dnepr’s key customers in the Russian aerospace industry. Having initially approached the airline earlier this year to discuss the delivery of the launch vehicle, Volga-Dnepr’s Load Planning Centre produced a design of the special cradle to be used to lift the launch vehicle into the IL-76TD-90VD freighter and a step-by-step guide to the loading procedures being implemented for its transportation.

The expertise of Volga-Dnepr’s Load Planning specialists, and the detailed project documentation they produced, demonstrated the airline’s ability to ensure a safe delivery.

The routing of the flight was also important given the fragile nature of the cargo, and was chosen to avoid the need for multiple landings en route.

VOLGA-DNEPR AND BOLLORÉ LOGISTICS MOVE THREE THALES ALENIA SPACE TELECOM SATELLITES TO EUROPE’S SPACEPORT Volga-Dnepr Airlines has transported three more space satellites to the Guiana Space Center, Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana, in support of its long-standing partnership with Bolloré Logistics and Thales Alenia Space.

These latest An-124-100 flights demonstrated the international nature of the space industry with VolgaDnepr working with leading French and French/Italian partners to delivers communications satellites for customers in Brazil, South Korea and Indonesia.

It was the first time Volga-Dnepr used new lightweight and easier-to-stow aluminium extension ramps to load and unload satellites. The new ramps weigh less and take up less space when stowed in the aircraft, which allows to increase the volume and payload for cargo carried when required.

Volga-Dnepr’s first flight for Bolloré and Thales Alenia Space in 2017 delivered the Telkom 3S satellite, built for the Indonesian operator Telkom Indonesia and launched on February 14. This was followed by a 13-hour An-124-100 freighter flight from Nice to Cayenne carrying Brazil’s SGDC satellite and South Korea’s Koreasat 7 telecommunications satellite, also built by Thales Alenia Space. Volga-Dnepr’s expertise in moving space cargoes and its close working partnership between Bolloré Logistics and Thales Alenia Space guaranteed both satellites arrived safely at the Guiana Space Center.

The transport containers used to deliver the satellites have been specially designed to utilise the unique capabilities of Volga-Dnepr’s An-124-100 and have been used many times before for similar transportations.

SAL HEAVY LIFT Year: 2015 Location: Rostock, Germany We use hydrodynamic calculations to estimate vessels movements within sea and swell. This helps us to calculate the maximum of accelerations at defined wave heights. These predictions are basis for the design of tailor-made seafastening systems as used on MV Svenja for the transport of oversized monopiles. This seafastening arrangement works completely without additional lashings, leading to utmost efficient and time-saving loading procedures.
