“…Regarding warehouse storage, A. arguta allows for economies of scale if processing and conditioning take place using the technical equipment already used for other fruits in other seasons, such as berry fruits [58]. Moreover, the environmental impact is calculated using the life cycle assessment (LCA) method; the values in the overall production chain of A. arguta are lower than for A. deliciosa (-30% GWP) with reference to the energy consumption during storage.…”

Abstract:Italy's kiwifruit growers are considered to be world-leading players of the past 20 years. However, with this success come its challenges. In the last five years, a bacterial canker of kiwifruit known as Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) has caused a dramatic reduction in the size of the areas cultivated, leading to several experienced Piedmontese Actinidia deliciosa growers beginning to cultivate the A. arguta. To better understand the potential for replacing the common kiwifruit in Italy's Piedmont region with plantations of A. arguta and to attain a systematic approach and support for decision situations; we assessed the environmental impact of the two production chains (field and storage) from a technical-operational perspective. The assessment was conducted through interviews with producers, field and warehouse technicians and sales managers in order to reveal the strengths and weaknesses of the two systems. The work presented below considers the application of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method for the field system (two different phases of the plantation) and the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis for the entire supply chain (field and warehouse management). Finally, a TOWS analysis (Threats, Opportunities, Weakness, Strengths) integrated the results of both LCA and SWOT analyses and permitted to highlight the development strategies for A. arguta in Piedmont. The total orchard cycle for A. arguta presents an impact of 0.14 kg CO 2 eq (GWP) and for A. deliciosa an impact of 0.11 kg CO 2 eq (GWP). Based on the synthesis of results from our TOWS analysis, we identified the following development strategies to help to shape the future A. arguta supply chain in Piedmont: Large-scale oriented; Berry fruits oriented; Export and organic oriented and Niche oriented.

“…Truck platooning is also considered to be a potential solution to mitigate some of common supply chain problems caused by human driver inefficiency and network congestion (Saeednia and Menendez 2017). Given the rising operational costs and the emergence of automated and connected technologies, truck platooning is now seen as the next technological step towards improved freight transport (Zijm and Klumpp 2017). For example, Scania is developing a full-scale autonomous truck platooning system, to move containers between port terminals in Singapore (Scania 2018).…”

Over the past decade, digital innovations have challenged traditional concepts of urban transport and introduced new opportunities for improving people's access to services and economic opportunities. In response, cities have redefined their technology roadmaps and business strategies and are increasingly encouraging more collaboration between the public and private sectors. Technology and service-led disruptions are not only impacting private car usage models, they are also enhancing multimodal journey planning and payment options which will drive new mobility initiatives in future cities. From data analytics, through to machine learning, on-demand shared mobility, Blockchain, Fog Computing, and connected vehicles, these technologies are set to transform the landscape of urban transport and reduce dependence on private cars. These technologies offer opportunities to measure and monitor city functions, manage the performance of transport infrastructure, and identify where services need improvements. This chapter discusses the role of disruptive innovations, some established and others emerging, and their impacts on transport operations. The chapter also describes how digitalization of physical assets provides opportunities to enable real-time monitoring and analysis of urban mobility and movement of freight. The chapter draws on practical applications and explains the key behavioral, societal, and technological impacts and benefits. Finally, the chapter provides insights into the potential value derived from typical use cases in smart mobility solutions enabled by technology-led innovations.

“…It is within this context that the concept of the Physical Internet (PI) arises, which develops the metaphor of the Digital Internet by applying it to physical objects [2]. The intention is that PI will achieve optimized logistics, including various entities through new business models within a more sustainable logistics networks, where the roles of technology and professional skills related to flexibility and adaptability are key [3].…”

Lean Thinking to Foster the Transition from Traditional Logistics to the Physical Internet

This paper studies the relationship between Lean paradigms and the Physical Internet (PI). Lean thinking is a philosophy that allows one to obtain the right amount of the right items in the right place at the right time; it seeks to minimize waste and is flexible to change. In fact, applying Lean not only helps to reduce costs, but it also adds value and improves results across the supply chain. By using a value stream map, we can map the process from the supply chain to the customer, while trying not to add value activities. Such activities include excessive production, overstorage, waiting times poorly adjusted to needs, defects and rejects that require reprocessing, and, finally, unnecessary transport and movements. Storage, waiting times, and unnecessary transport and movements are at the core of the PI. A value stream map can also help to identify empty transport and unnecessary CO2 emissions. This study analyzes value stream mapping as a tool that can enable the objectives of the different Alliance for Logistics Innovation through Collaboration (ALICE) roadmaps for logistics innovation to be achieved, and can also allow PI principles to be reached on the established dates.
