Supply Chain Industry Fears for 2023

Posted on by David Priestman

Container xChange has released a Container LogTech predictions report for 2023, which highlights important global trends that the shipping and supply chain industry will witness in 2023. The report draws attention to some of the most pertinent issues that industry will witness this year thereby helping professionals to prepare better for navigation.

“The overall outlook for the year 2023 remains gloomy. Europe is hit hard with an all-time high inflation; China struggles to cope with the virus and the US continues to witness hinterland transportation challenges and labour unrest. Most of these challenges will stay in 2023. Consumer confidence will pick up, but it really depends on whether we witness more disruptions in the coming times.” said Christian Roeloffs, cofounder and CEO, Container xChange, an online container logistics platform.

Most of the experts surveyed foresee that inflation and recession will have a greater impact this year and will be the biggest driver of disruptions.

‘‘Due to inflation increasing, there’ll be more unrest in the labour market which will certainly lead to more strikes, specifically in Europe, the UK and North America. And as we have seen before, strikes result in slow operations within the port which can exacerbate supply issues.’’ said Aamir S. Mir, Chief Operating Officer (COO), Caspian Container Company SA as part of the interviews.

Talking of rates, the report further predicts that the Long-term shipping contract rates will see an uptick in 2023, though gradually. This slow increase applies to all modes of transport. With negotiations going on to bring contract rates in line with spot rates, a reset is expected. On the other hand, until there is a balance reached between supply and demand, forwarders will favour short-term contracts until the rates stabilize. “Freight forwarders will employ a ‘wait and see’ approach before making any long-term air cargo capacity commitments particularly.” the report claims.

Trucking rates for both dry and reefer cargos will continue to drop in 2023. Freight tonnage will continue to contract as market conditions and volumes return to pre-pandemic numbers.
The unresolved worker strikes of 2022 will spill over in 2023. Furthermore, the chances of new strikes coming up are high due to inflation-related rise in prices putting pressure on workers’ disposable incomes. Labor dissatisfaction might grow in European and North American economies. In that case, it will cause disruptions in global supply chains.

‘‘Two, almost three exceptional years for carriers are definitely coming to an end. They will have to adapt back to lower margins due to a different supply and demand balance. Many customers, forced into high-cost contracts during the up-cycle, will come for revenge in the down cycle. And regulatory pressures, following excessive profits might appear on top of that, be it through bodies like FMC, EU or China’s MOC, as they each reviewing alliance exemptions, new taxation regulations, or precedence cases from several complaints raised by shippers at different institutions.’’ said Ruben Huber, Founder and Director, OceanX.

The report further covers the growing expectation of 3PL (third party logistics) market to solidify in 2023. Reportedly, it’s projected to reach $1,789.74 billion by 2027. Another key trend on the list is around the digital transformation of the industry. In the years to come, the adoption of digital technologies in shipping will focus on vessel schedules, intuitive booking interfaces, instant slot booking, and capacity confirmations. In this regard, the industry’s major concern will be on having systems interact directly via automating the Data-Analysis-Decision-Action cycle.

Fleet Connectivity for Commercial Vehicles

Posted on by David Priestman

To advance next generation fleet connectivity for commercial vehicles ZF, today. announced that it has acquired intellic Germany GmbH, a Berlin-based advanced tachograph technology company with 20 employees. The acquisition further consolidates ZF’s unique capability to supply innovative solutions across the entire commercial vehicle transport value chain, reinforcing its innovation leadership in road transportation, orchestration and infrastructure optimization. Building on ZF’s ‘Next Generation Mobility’ strategy, the move represents a significant step towards realizing its ambitions to enable Transportation as a Service (TaaS).

“Incorporating Intellic’s smart tachograph technology within our telematics portfolio further advances ZF’s leading position as a ‘one-stop-shop’ for commercial vehicle manufacturers, fleets and industry partners,” said Hjalmar Van Raemdonck, Head of Digital Systems Solutions in ZF’s division Commercial Vehicle Solutions. “As a uniquely regulated and trusted data center, smart tachographs will have an increasingly important role to play in the road transportation ecosystem.”

“Leveraging the data integrity of smart tachographs will open opportunities in logistics, infrastructure optimization and build on ZF’s recent launch of its SCALAR digital fleet orchestration platform,” added Van Raemdonck. As the “black box” of the vehicle, verified data will include the entry of local times, precise real-time clocking, secure Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and an Intelligent Traffic System interface (ITS).

Enabling a “Connectivity Hub,” it is envisioned that a single, certified box will be able to reliably and accurately collect and relay data from a wide range of vehicle sensors and data sources including Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and EBS signals.

With the potential to deliver significant added value to fleet customers, ZF is well positioned to become a full digital service provider by providing a complete system with clear, measurable, verified data. This includes displaying remaining drive time limits to ensure regulatory compliance. Offering all the digital software and hardware solutions that fleets need from a single source, ZF will integrate future-proof capabilities with software updates over-the-air, in the same way as updates for the tachograph such as driving and resting times. Adding value for manufacturers, ZF’s tachograph capabilities offer a simple solution to integrate speed, driving and resting time data to their vehicle dashboards.

The integration of trusted smart tachograph data with ZF’s recently launched SCALAR fleet orchestration platform will enable more efficient routing, dispatching and driver scheduling to help significantly enhance fleet efficiency. From 2023, the smart tachograph will become the central trusted device in the commercial vehicle sector in Europe. By third quarter 2023, manufacturers in Europe will be required to install next generation smart tachographs in new vehicles and, by the end of 2024, they will replace analogue tachographs altogether.

ZF is a global technology company supplying systems for passenger cars, commercial vehicles and industrial technology, enabling the next generation of mobility. ZF allows vehicles to see, think and act. In the four technology domains of Vehicle Motion Control, Integrated Safety, Automated Driving, and Electric Mobility, ZF offers comprehensive product and software solutions for established vehicle manufacturers and newly emerging transport and mobility service providers. ZF electrifies a wide range of vehicle types. With its products, the company contributes to reducing emissions, protecting the climate and enhancing safe mobility.

With some 157,500 employees worldwide, ZF reported sales of €38.3 billion in fiscal 2021. The company operates 188 production locations in 31 countries.

Global Transport Management Partnership

Posted on by David Priestman

A forward-thinking process analysis and strategy are essential to implementing intelligent transport management software. In a new partnership, Euro-Log AG is combining its platform-based, digital transport management solution with the supply chain expertise of Deloitte. By merging their services in this field, the companies have created a powerful package that boosts the agility and resilience of supply chains.

Many businesses are increasingly feeling the pressure of unreliable supply chains, a lack of transparency and super-slow management processes in global transport. More than ever before, these companies need to manage their global supply chains in real-time using transport management platforms. IT services provider Euro-Log AG has forged a powerful partnership with Deloitte, combining the Euro-Log logistics platform with Deloitte’s comprehensive supply chain expertise to deliver even more effective solutions for global transport management.

In an initial phase, the Euro-Log AG transport management system will be deployed in Deloitte’s Supply Chain Control Tower (SCCT), an integrated data cockpit that provides access to virtually all levels of the supply chain. If there is an issue in the chain, the transport management system sends out an alert if a certain threshold value is exceeded. With the help of rule-based mechanisms, the system then suggests alternative transport routes, different modes of transport or new transport service providers. Euro-Log is also strengthening the Control Tower by adding global tracking solutions, which can even provide timely warnings of any delays in customs processing.

Countless Euro-Log customers and users of the Supply Chain Control Tower will benefit from this additional information and enhanced ability to control events in the supply chain. This includes users in the automotive sector: a familiar industry for Euro-Log, which has launched multiple automotive supply chain solutions and won a number of industry awards.

For Euro-Log CEO Jörg Fürbacher, this partnership represents a unique opportunity for global companies in an era of acute crisis: “This combination of competencies from both companies will enable customers to quickly analyse and identify process improvements, make rapid changes and safeguard their supply chains”, says Fürbacher. His words extend to the second phase of the partnership, which will involve rolling out both services in global companies. Fürbacher emphasises how quick and cost-effective it can be to implement the modular Euro-Log Transport Management System: “Often, in an initial phase, it only takes a few modules to stabilise a global supply chain; there is no need to invest enormous sums”.

Deloitte is also convinced of the potential of the complementary services. “Our partnership with Euro-Log is a highly valuable addition to our company, as we’ve demonstrated in joint projects with various customers”, says Tobias Exler, Deloitte Partner in Supply Chain & Network Operations. “We’re pleased that this partnership will enable us to expand our toolbox in this area – the Connected Supply Chain Solution, our Supply Chain Centre of Excellence and the Supply Chain Control Tower”, adds Stefan Klang, Deloitte Director in Supply Chain & Network Operations.

Euro-Log and Deloitte have already demonstrated how effective this partnership is in a joint connected supply chain project in the automotive sector. In this successful project, the companies showed that the rapid implementation of a digital, intelligent transport management system is a logical extension of process advice and support. This finely tuned partnership will enable many companies to achieve a resilient supply chain in the shortest possible time frame.

Founded in 1992 as a joint venture between Deutsche Telekom, France Telecom and Digital Equipment, EURO-LOG AG has established itself as one of the leading providers of IT and process integration solutions in the logistics industry. Since the beginning of 2018, EURO-LOG AG has been part of the global SupplyOn Group. With individual solutions such as B2B integration, procurement management, transport management, ONE TRACK shipment tracking, container management and mobile logistics solutions, the company ensures transparency along the entire supply chain. International customers from a wide range of sectors – from automotive, e-commerce and retail to industry and logistics – rely on the integration solutions provided by EURO-LOG AG. From its headquarters in Hallbergmoos, Munich, EURO-LOG AG operates its own data centres and employs over 120 people.
