1 Technology Development in Reusable Packaging Systems

2 Outline Physical Internet Asset Tracking Technology E-commerce AS-RS and returnable packaging Additive manufacturing Pallet recycling

3 Physical Internet Symptoms of logistics unsustainability: We are shipping air and packaging Empty travel is a norm Truckers become the modern cowboys Products do not reach who needs them the most Getting products in and out of the cities is a nightmare Logistic network is neither secure nor robust Unnecessary product movement across the globe

4 Physical Internet

5 Physical Internet What is Physical Internet: In logistics, the Physical Internet is an open global logistics system founded on physical, digital, and operational interconnectivity, through encapsulation, interfaces and protocols

6 Physical Internet Why does it mater for packaging: Encapsulate merchandises in world-standard smart green modular container (PI-Container) Exploit smart networked containers embedding smart objects Design Products fitting containers with minimal waste

7 Asset Tracking Asset tracking technologies are on the rise RFID GPS Cellular Low energy Bluetooth

8 Asset Tracking Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) Uses radio waves to read and capture information stored on the tag attached to the object Tag can be read from several feet away Active tag battery powered, transmits signal Passive tags uses the signal of the reader to communicated

9 Asset Tracking Issues with RFID Not being scalable System disruption Lack of integration with existing systems Privacy issues Cost Current adoption Pallets High value products

10 Asset Tracking Global Positioning System (GPS) Uses GPS beacon Triangulates position using 24 satellites Shares: location, speed, altitude Lack of resolution

11 Asset Tracking Issues with GPS Requires a battery source Does not work in confined spaces or metal cages such as containers Lack of resolution Require Geographic Information System (GIS) Current adoption Trailer tracking Dataloggers (Lansmont Saver series)

12 Asset Tracking Cellular Networks (2G, 3G, 4G) Uses a network of cell sites (tower) and transceivers (phone) to transmit voice and data Uses 800-2,500 MHz waves, LTE for 4G Requires less energy than GPS

13 Asset Tracking Opportunities with cellular networks National coverage Readily available network Better energy consumption than GPS 3G and 4G can transmit large amount of data 3G usage for mobile phones decreases Current adoption Dataloggers (Lansmont Saver series)

14 Asset Tracking Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Bluetooth uses 2.4GHz waves to communicate Create a personal area network Low power consumption 200 feet range

15 Asset Tracking Smartphone sensors: Accelerometer Gyroscope Magnetometer compass Ambient light sensor Proximity Sensor GPS

16 Asset Tracking How to power it? Triboelectric energy harvester converts external mechanical energy into electricity by a conjunction of triboelectric effect / upload.wikimedia.org/ wikipedia/commons/2/2e/1the_mechanism_of_the_pyroelectric_nanogenerator_based_on_a_composite_structure_of_pyroelectric_nanowries..jpg

17 Asset Tracking How to power it? Pyroelectric energy harvester converts external thermal energy into electricity by using none-structured pyroelectric material

18 Asset Tracking Opportunity for Packaging: Continuous supply chain visibility and asset tracking Collection of essential parameter for protective packaging design Temperature, relative humidity Vibration, shock, weight

19 E-commerce E-commerce is growing by as much as 20% annually in Europe (312 billion Euros) (Ecommerce Europe) 14.6% ($341.7 billion) in the US 3.7 billion disposable packages are delivered annually in Europe

20 E-commerce Challenges in e-commerce Product protection Shipping odd shape items Frustration to open Incorrect fit Opportunities Using returnable packages

21 E-commerce Opportunities Amazon locker Amazon drone

22 E-commerce Reusable packaging in e-commerce Repack Finland Returnable deposit based model for the fashion e-commerce industry Designed to be used 20 times Extra upfront fee (3.9 EUR) Free return deliver via post office Voucher for next shopping

23 Automated Handling Systems Modern warehouses: High speed conveyors Self driving fork lifts and trucks Robotic pickers How my current packaging will perform?

24 Automated Handling Systems Pallet performance guide in ANSI MH Source: ANSI MH1-2016

25 Automated Handling Systems Pallet performance guide in ANSI MH Source: ANSI MH1-2016

26 Automated Handling Systems Pallets Latest study was conducted in 20 years ago in 1996 How valid the results are for a current supply chain? Packaging Standard is under development: ISO , ISO No performance guidelines

27 Additive Manufacturing

28 The basics: Additive Manufacturing

29 Additive Manufacturing Manufacturing Types: (FDM) (JP) (SLS) (EBM) Fused Deposition Modeling A plastic wire is molten and laid down in layers. Inkjet 3D printing/jetted photopolymer A photo polymer which hardens with UV light is extruded. Selective Laser Sintering A high powered laser melts powder together. Stereolithography A layer of fluid resin is hardened by UV or laser. Electron beam melting An electron beam melts metal powder layer by layer in a high vacuum.

30 Additive Manufacturing Materials: Polylactic Acid (PLA): eco friendly, brittle Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS): durable, good with higher temperatures Nylon: strong durable, moisture sensitive Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA): water soluble Polyethylene terephthalate (PET): high strength, no odor when printed High-density polyethylene (HDPA): no ideal

31 Additive Manufacturing Opportunities: Just in time tertiary packaging manufacturing Improved design capabilities light weighting Improved transportation of used packages in resin form

32 Pallet Recycling Wood Pallet and Landfills (Araman 1995) Investigated Municipal and Construction landfills Pallet Recycling Recycled Pallets (million)

33 Pallet Recycling Only 1.4-2% of the total waste is wood pallet This is still million wooden pallets Virginia Tech is starting a new survey in 2016!

34 Thank you very much for your attention Laszlo Horvath, Ph.D., CPLP Director, Center for Packaging and Unit Load Design Assistant Professor
