Open Logistics Networks

The entities required for the mapping of transport processes are defined on the basis of the
Web of Needs technology (transport services, transport offers,
transport requests). Specialized matching is implemented for these objects. The
Coordination of the handover of the goods and the confirmation of the same are coordinated with
special message types are supported. Distributed transactions are also
that link elementary process steps (for example, handover confirmation and
payment). For practical application, an integration of a payment system
and supports customer reviews.

In the Open Logistics Networks project, a decentralized, open and standards-based
established infrastructure for the ordering, tracking and handling of transports
can be created. This is to facilitate the publication of transport demand and supply
and mediate neutrally between the participants.
Thus, logistics chains can be optimized across company boundaries, which is important for
cooperating companies to a cost reduction for the clients to
lower prices and, in general, to a lower environmental impact and more efficient
use of resources. Furthermore, on the basis of the uniform
infrastructure, new tools are emerging that will reduce the entry hurdle for
Minimize transports.
The Research Studio SAT thus makes an innovative leap from a generic
Technology for publishing and merging supply and demand into a
economically relevant solution framework for the transport industry and builds in the
area of competencies.
