Fleet Managers can Navigate Phase-out of 2G/3G Networks

The logistics sector is currently at a crossroads, induced by the global phase-out of 2G and 3G networks. Like any infrastructure upgrade, this transition requires careful planning and strategic adjustments – particularly for those managing lorry and truck fleets, writes Iain Davidson (pictured), Senior Product Manager at Wireless Logic.

Imagine a lorry driver crossing an international border, only to discover that the 2G network they depend on for navigation and tracking has suddenly gone dark. Without warning, they’re left without GPS, real-time updates or vehicle diagnostics. This scenario is not just a possibility but an increasing likelihood as 2G and 3G networks continue to be phased out worldwide. For those in charge of managing fleets in the haulage industry, addressing this issue promptly is not just advisable – it’s mission critical.

The phase-out of legacy networks is driven by the need to free up spectrum for more cost-efficient and higher potential 5G and LTE technologies. While newer networks promise faster, more reliable connections, the shutdown of 2G and 3G networks can significantly disrupt existing operations without adequate planning. For lorry and truck fleets, the implications are vast – not only affecting personal safety and the overall efficiency of operations.

The connectivity conundrum

As more countries announce various sunset deadlines, truck drivers may inadvertently cross into regions where older networks have already been decommissioned. This is because we have a natural tendency to focus solely on the deadlines in our home country.

The first step in addressing this challenge is to ensure you understand the network sunset plans as they are announced worldwide. It will be necessary to review the technology currently in use across the entire business and fleet. In particular, fleet managers must start with an inventory of their devices, identifying the cellular technologies in use, the cellular module vendor name and part number, their physical location and a priority rating. Then, an evaluation of the alternative connectivity options is advised.

It’s important to remember that this is not just a compliance exercise, but a significant enhancement of operational capabilities, like shifting from standard definition to high-definition in terms of data quality and communication speed.

Choosing the right alternative

The next generation of IoT products will use 4G, 5G and the latest LPWAN technologies to ensure they remain connected throughout their lifecycle.

LTE Cat-1 BIS is an established 4G/ Long-Term Evolution (LTE) service present in every network’s technology stack, across the globe. eSIM compatible and benefiting from well established roaming agreements to support global connectivity with a single SIM stock keeping unit (SKU). It offers an ideal balance of speed and power for applications that require mobile connectivity, such as real-time vehicle tracking and telematics.

LTE-M, an LPWAN technology designed to support long-battery life requirements in sensors and tracking devices, offers another potential option. Though not as widely available as Cat-1 BIS, it was designed with mobility in mind so is suitable for devices on the move and can support battery or solar-powered devices. The choice will depend on specific needs across the fleet – whether the priority is high mobility and data rate or low power consumption and broader coverage. This decision is crucial to keep fleets responsive and connected, regardless of geographic and network variability.

Strategic partnerships for a smooth transition

Successful navigation through this transition calls for more than just technological upgrades. For the best and least disruptive outcomes, it must involve strategic partnerships with experienced connectivity providers. This expertise can provide fleet managers with the intelligence to select the best-fit technology for seamless service continuity.

Standardising technology across the fleet to ensure compatibility with newer networks reduces the risk of disconnections and operational inconsistencies. Additionally, securing comprehensive roaming agreements ensures uninterrupted connectivity, critical for vehicles operating across different countries.

Training for drivers and operational staff on the new systems is a sometimes-overlooked step. A well-informed team can manage the new technology effectively, troubleshoot issues and maintain operational standards. This should be as thorough as the technical upgrade itself, ensuring that all team members are competent and confident in using the new systems.

No time for complacency

The window to act is narrowing. Fleet managers need to move quickly to avoid unnecessary scrambles and the damaging consequence of unpreparedness. The logistics of implementing new technology across potentially vast fleets should not be underestimated.

It’s true that the network shutdowns present an inconvenient challenge for the logistics sector, but we must also see the pivotal opportunity to advance fleet operations significantly and even build stronger security into systems as a result. This transition is not just about keeping pace with technological evolution – with the right approach, it can lead to a more efficient and resilient next generation of fleet operations.

Electric Cargo Bikes will Deliver Thousands of Packages

Amazon has opened its first micromobility hub in Norfolk, UK at its delivery station in Norwich. The hub now houses a fleet of new electric cargo bikes which will deliver thousands of packages per week to customers, taking traditional delivery vans off city centre roads, and helping to improve air quality and alleviate congestion.

Norwich joins more than 40 cities in the UK and across Europe which have Amazon micromobility hubs facilitating electric cargo bike and on-foot deliveries. As part of a £300 million investment to electrify and decarbonise Amazon’s UK transportation network, electric cargo bikes and walkers are now expected to make millions of deliveries to Amazon customers across the UK every year.

“Our new electric cargo bikes are part of Amazon’s commitment to reach net zero carbon emissions across our operations by 2040, ten years ahead of the Paris Agreement. This is a proud moment for our team, and great news for customers across the city who will benefit from zero-emissions deliveries to their door,” said Connor Ashford, Senior Delivery Station Manager at Amazon in Norwich.

Danzen Logistics is a local courier company which provides delivery services to Amazon customers in Norwich. Dan Zenchuk, owner of Danzen Logistics said: “We are delighted to work with Amazon to bring this fleet of electric cargo bikes to Norwich. We think the electric cargo bikes are going to be a big hit with customers, while also supporting Amazon’s sustainability commitments, and providing additional delivery rider opportunities in the area.”

As well as traditional carriers, Amazon works with a community of Delivery Service Partners – small and medium sized courier businesses like Danzen Logistics – which provide work opportunities to thousands of individuals who deliver packages to customers. Amazon and its partners already have more than 1,000 electric delivery vans deployed across the UK and Ireland, in addition to nine fully electric heavy goods vehicles, the first in the company’s fleet, which have replaced traditional lorries.

All of the electricity consumed by Amazon’s operations, including its data centers, was matched with 100% renewable energy in 2023 – seven years ahead of the 2030 goal the company had set. As the largest corporate purchaser of renewable energy globally and in the UK, Amazon has 29 operational on-site solar projects and enabled seven large-scale offsite renewable energy projects, with a capacity of more than 900MW in the UK.

Once all projects are operational, they are expected to generate enough energy to power the equivalent of more than one million UK homes annually. These include corporate purchase power agreements with; a wind farm in Ballykeel, Co Antrim, which opened last year; Moray West Offshore Windfarm in Scotland; and East Anglia THREE offshore windfarm in Suffolk which, once operational, will generate enough clean electricity to power the equivalent of 1.3 million British homes and will be the second biggest offshore wind farm in the world.

Delivery stations power the last mile of Amazon’s order process and help speed up deliveries for customers. Packages are shipped to a delivery station from neighbouring Amazon fulfilment and sortation centres, loaded into delivery vehicles and delivered to customers. Amazon’s Norwich delivery station opened in September 2016 and employs more than a hundred permanent employees to process customer orders.

Pay for employees at the delivery station in Norwich starts at £12.30 per hour and employees are offered a comprehensive benefits package, including private medical insurance, life assurance, income protection and an employee discount. Since 2010, Amazon has invested over £2.1 billion in East Anglia, and more than 3,000 small and medium sized businesses from the region sell on the Amazon store.

High Speed Door helps Sonoco with Efficiency

Union Industries, a British manufacturer of bespoke industrial doors, has helped Sonoco introduce more efficient operating procedures with the installation of its high speed Ramdoor.

It represents a first for the paper mill in Halifax, West Yorkshire, which recycles wastepaper and cardboard – converting it into a range of useful products. With efficiency in mind, Union’s rugged Ramdoor replaced a slow and outdated roller shutter door, at the same time helping with the segregation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

Sited in a section of the warehouse leading to the waste yard, the newly installed Ramdoor has enabled Sonoco to increase the frequency of both large machinery and forklift traffic through this entranceway, in line with changes to their operating procedures.

Due to the large volumes of wastepaper processed, it is important that the Ramdoor seals quickly, preventing the ingress of debris. A Class 5 wind resistance rating provides extra benefit – helping maintain operations during more challenging weather conditions.

Sonoco, a multi-billion-dollar global provider of consumer packaging, industrial products and packaging supply chain services, has been a customer of Union Industries for almost 30 years, having previously fitted four Matadoors.

This is the first Ramdoor to be installed at the site – features include a variable speed drive motor with frequency inverter for greater control, thick Ramhide door blade material with anti-static additive and a ‘Crash Out’ system which reduces the potential of bottom beam damage – helping to minimise downtime and repair costs. The heavy-duty wind-bar system, combined with the extra-deep side-guides, provides added strength, and contributes to the Ramdoor’s ability to cope with high wind loads and pressures.

Paul Hindley, Engineering Manager at Sonoco, said: “The installation of the Ramdoor at our Halifax facility is a game-changer. It allows for quicker, safer, and more efficient movement of our large machinery and vehicles. This has enabled us to introduce changes to our operational procedures, creating more efficiency. This upgrade is part of our commitment to continuously improve both our operational processes as well as our safety standards.”

Rob Howe, Technical Sales Engineer at Union Industries, said: “We are delighted to continue our long-standing partnership with Sonoco by providing them with a flexible and highly effective solution.

“The Ramdoor offers superior performance and durability, and in this instance has allowed Sonoco to ensure that this external entrance can cope with increasing traffic flows, effectively future proofing its requirements and allowing for future growth.”

Stereo Vision Camera Provides 3D Information

IDS Imaging Development Systems introduces a new 3D camera in the Ensenso product line. With its
compact, industrial-grade design and the combination of a very short working distance and a large field of view, the Ensenso B is particularly suitable for bin picking applications. Thanks to its high depth of field, it is able to capture objects over a large area and to localize all parts in a container at once, for example. This optimizes the pick-and-place process and facilitates emptying of containers. The stereo vision camera is now available in series production.

The great strength of Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It provides a
wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. More specifically, this means that the area in which an object is sharply imaged is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters.

The housing, which accommodates two 5 MP colour cameras from IDS, a pattern projector and all the
electronics, is completely enclosed. This simplifies the cabling. Ensenso B complies with protection class
IP65/67, which is an advantage in demanding operating conditions. With dimensions of just 120 x 56 x 104
millimetres, the new 3D camera’s design is also very space-saving. This makes it ideal for use on a robot
arm, for example.

Unlock Logistics Success: How Conversations Can Help You Retain Top Talent

Jess O’Dwyer (pictured), Pocketalk General Manager Europe, explains why embracing diversity can unlock access to talent.

The surge in online shopping has significantly fuelled the growth of the logistics sector and increased the demand for workers. To meet this demand, the industry has come to heavily rely on foreign talent. Research by Prologis UK indicates that in 2023, 12% of logistics, warehousing, and supply chain workers in the UK were non-native English speakers.

While this highlights the sector’s role in fostering workplace diversity and inclusion, it also raises communication challenges. In operations and logistics, effective communication is essential. With the UK’s logistics sector being a vital economic backbone, the need to make workplaces more accessible to non-native speakers is a non-negotiable.

Investing in overcoming communication barriers can boost talent engagement and retention, tapping into a wider array of skills and perspectives. It can also reduce the costs of recruiting and training. High turnover rates are costly and disruptive, so retaining staff is crucial. Creating a supportive environment that minimises language barriers can lead to higher job satisfaction, increased loyalty, and reduced staff turnover.

From our work across various industries, here’s what UK operations and logistics companies can learn to build a more inclusive and effective workforce.

Understanding the Importance of Language Inclusion

Fostering an environment where language inclusion is prioritised is not just about compliance or box ticking — it’s about operational excellence and employee well-being. Language barriers can lead to misunderstandings, decreased productivity, and even safety risks. When employees struggle to communicate effectively, it affects their confidence and job satisfaction. Moreover, in an industry where precision and efficiency are paramount, any miscommunication can have ripple effects throughout the supply chain.

The Role of Technology in Bridging the Gap

Technological solutions play a critical role in opening up conversation. Tools like Pocketalk, a versatile language translation device, can facilitate real-time communication between employees who speak different languages. By providing instant, accurate, secure translation, such tools enable workers to understand instructions, report issues, collaborate more effectively, and most importantly understand safety protocols, thus enhancing both safety and productivity.

Investing in Language Training Programmes

While technology provides immediate relief, long-term strategies should include investing in language training programmes. Offering English as a Second Language (ESL) classes can significantly benefit non-native speakers. Additionally, providing basic language courses for native English speakers to learn key phrases in their colleagues’ languages can foster mutual respect and understanding. These programmes not only improve communication but also demonstrate the company’s commitment to supporting its employees’ growth.

Creating a Multilingual Work Environment

Creating a multilingual work environment involves more than just translation tools and language classes. It’s about embedding language inclusion into the company culture. This can be achieved by:
bilingual signage and documentation, multilingual support staff and inclusive communication policies that encourage the use of multiple languages, ensuring everyone has access to company information.

Real-World Examples of Success

In the US, CAVU, a leadership training company helped a business in the oil and gas sector to introduce language translation technology which led to better communication, improved leadership training and safety. Another example is a manufacturing firm that partnered with local community organisations to offer ESL classes to their employees. This initiative not only improved workplace communication but also helped employees integrate better into their communities, enhancing their overall quality of life and job satisfaction.

As we continue to navigate an increasingly globalised and diverse world, the ability to communicate across languages will become even more critical. By prioritising language inclusion, UK operations and logistics companies can not only improve their operations but also create a more equitable and supportive workplace for all employees.
