Abstract

Integrated supply chain management presents an advanced inter-enterprise integration business model, seamlessly integrating different involved enterprises ranging from manufacturing industries to retailers and comprising third party logistics and the transport sector. Offering smart transport services addressing safety and security contributes significantly to the transport sector sustainability and enhances the overall inter-enterprise integration scheme. This paper presents an integrated system for the provision of such services utilizing standard open technologies, and comprising a central information system and specially designed embedded systems making trucks / containers "smarter". The system has been validated in the framework of a web-enabled safety / security alarm monitoring application.
