LaMa LaMa - Intelligent load carrier management Goods, such as perishables, pharmaceutical and chemical products or electronic articles, which are sensitive to ambient influences, such as temperature fluctuations, high humidity or shocks, quality deficiencies occur frequently during transport. Nowadays, data loggers are used to measure ambient conditions during transport. Thus, faults caused by the transporters can be identified and proofed only afterwards. On the one hand the consequences are waste of highquality goods as well as financial losses and on the other hand time losses (replenishment time) that may lead to delays and customer dissatisfaction. Researches of BIBA had invented and patented the adaptable telematics. Based on this knowledge a prototype of the adaptable telematics was developed and tested within this projetct. In addition to a conventional GPRS gateway with GPS module, this unit consists of wireless sensor cubes. Hereby it is possible to measure ambient conditions in real time such as temperature, humidity, shock and light directly at the goods during transport and storage. Online monitoring enables logistics provider to react promptly to faults in order to reduce product losses. Furthermore, the created transparency makes it possible to detect possible faults at an early stage to avoid these faults. In addition, the transparency is used for tour planning, thus, the efficiency of logistics can be increased. Another advantage of the adaptable telematics is the detection of an unauthorized use of the load carrier and thus provide information to the user about the progress and the current location (e.g. for theft protection). In addition to the telematics system, a web portal was developed within the project as well. The applicability of both systems has been tested and proven in several field tests in cooperation with the HOYER Multilog. By using the system, the load carriers were monitored energy-efficiently as well as online, and the transparency was used to optimize logistic processes. Contact persons: S.
