A SNAPSHOTUNC Center For Logistics And Digital
Strategy
  • Established in 1997 as a resource for
    organizations struggling with logistics
    complexity and enterprise change management
  • Areas of Specialization
  • Strategic visioning for intelligent enterprising
  • New logistics technology (Intelligent Software,
    RFID, Wireless, GPS/GIS)
  • Logistics and Supply Chains in Emerging Markets
  • Logistical Network Planning and Design
  • Intelligent Supply Chain Management Strategies
  • Serves both public (SAP, FedEx, Boeing,
    Caterpillar) and private sector (NSA, DARPA,
    NASA, FAA) organizations
  • Founding member of the Global Logistics Research
    Initiative (GLORI)

OUR PREMISE.
New intelligent software and sensor technologies
will change everything about how products and
services are defined and delivered and how
companies interact with their customers and
suppliers.
4
WHAT IS INTELLIGENT LOGISTICS?
Example A truck moving equipment from a
logistics hub to a sports venue is caught in a
traffic jam. The trucks position and contents
are known, as well as a snap shot of local
traffic densities. An intelligent decision
can be made in real-time regarding re-routing or
substituting equipment from an other venue.
Intelligent logistics can be defined as the
application of intelligent technologies,
including RFID/sensors and intelligent software
agents to manage increasingly complex logistics
processes so they are real-time, event-driven,
responsive and adaptive.
5
THE FUTURE
Smart products/systems linked by smart processes
to intelligent, closed-loop logistics networks
that produce, maintain (and enhance) the utility
of the product/system until ultimate disposal.
