MultiRELOAD

In recent months, the #MultiRELOAD project has made remarkable progress. Highlights include the Danube Ports Days 2024, which focused on sustainable multimodality; the launch of a Digital Twin to transform port management; and a productive consortium meeting in Basel. Additionally, the project introduced a demonstrator for small and midsize clients, published a scientific article on reducing GHG emissions, and participated in major industry events like IPIC 2024 and the AWARD Final Conference. #MultiRELOAD also showcased the CBoXX, a significant advancement in rail transport. 🌐 Check it out & subscribe to future editions here: https://lnkd.in/d28jTvhs

Last week, we conducted a two-day workshop at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria. We have kicked off the work on the scientific examination of the (upscaled) demonstrator "Transporting Bulk Cargo in Multimodal Containers" by means of a logistics simulation in order to understand the system behavior of the envisioned service better, to examine different scenarios, e.g., different service concepts, different routes and ports, different vessel types, etc., and, thereby, have a profound decision-support when moving from demonstration over prototypical implementation to commercial roll-out of the new multimodal transport service.

As part of the Danube Ports Days 2024, the third #MultiRELOAD 𝐔𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐦 showcased pioneering pilot projects like Prodevelop's 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐥 𝐍𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐰𝐢𝐧 and bloog's 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐨𝐫 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 elaborated in collaboration with the Schweizerische Rheinhäfen - Port of Switzerland, both of them developed within our project.   This dynamic event brought together policymakers, industry leaders, and experts to explore innovative strategies to achieveing climate neutrality within inland ports and the broader inland waterway transport (IWT) sector.   Key themes included: ✅ The modal shift towards eco-friendly transport ✅ Insights on emission reduction and green energy solutions ✅ Cutting-edge digitalisation tools and strategies transforming port operations across Europe 🎥 We’re excited to share that the presentation materials and recording of the sessions are now available for download: https://lnkd.in/dNxx5Krc

📣Fraunhofer IML and MultiRELOAD at Alice Logistics Innovation Summit Yesterday and today I had the pleasure to attend the 10 year anniversary of ALICE, Alliance for Logistics Innovation through Collaboration in Europe (ETP LOGISTICS). We talked about: 💡Innovations in Logistics 🤝 The steps necessary to close the gap between research results and the integration into market ready solutions. #research #innovation #collaboration

Live from the ALICE Logistics Innovation Summit!

Organised on 29 and 30 October by Pro Danube and hosted by the 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐛𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧, Danube Ports Days 2024, supported by the EU-funded projects MultiRELOAD, Green Inland Ports and Innovation Action SYNERGETICS, and the 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐛𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 successfully concluded. The event brought together policymakers, industry leaders, and experts to discuss and evaluate innovative solutions aimed at achieving climate neutrality within inland ports in particular and inland waterway transport (IWT) in general. The event focused on critical themes including the modal shift to eco-friendly transportation, emission insights, and green energy solutions. It showcased cutting-edge digitalisation tools and strategies that are transforming port operations across Europe. As part of the Danube Ports Days 2024, the third #MultiRELOAD User Forum showcased pioneering pilot projects like Prodevelop's Multimodal Node Digital Twin and bloog's Multimodal Corridor Digital Services in collaboration with the Schweizerische Rheinhäfen - Port of Switzerland, both of them developed within our project.

The MultiRELOAD project is changing multimodal freight transport by improving the efficiency, sustainability and collaboration of inland terminals. Focused on shifting freight from road to rail and inland waterways, MultiRELOAD is using digitalisation and automation to increase the operational efficiency of terminals at key European hubs, including Duisburg, Vienna and Basel. By 2025, the project aims to achieve a 5% modal shift to rail and waterways and a 20% increase in terminal handling capacity, contributing to the EU's Smart Mobility Strategy. Through innovative business models and data sharing, MultiRELOAD is driving a more sustainable future for European freight transport. 📍 Discover how MultiRELOAD optimises multimodal logistics at the ALICE, Alliance for Logistics Innovation through Collaboration in Europe (ETP LOGISTICS) Innovation Summit: https://lnkd.in/ey8jvgYp To learn more about the project visit the website: https://lnkd.in/ePBuMTct #MultimodalTransport #SustainableLogistics #Digitalisation #LogisticsInnovation #ALICESummit
