Smart Logistics Laboratory – SmartLogiLab

Today, these new information systems must comply with recent national, European and international directives relating to the digitisation of all information at all stages of goods transport. SmartLogisLab concerns the development of new generations of Port Community Systems (PCS), integrating data platforms that are intended to become trusted third parties between the various players in the port community. Securing and managing trust between the players who share these information systems requires the implementation of blockchain-based technological solutions. The development of Smart Contracts will make it possible to automate and streamline the entire logistics chain at ports, particularly HAROPA ports.

Development of 4 operational programmes:
1. Development of solutions for securing transactions and document exchanges using blockchain technologies
2. Setting up a multi-disciplinary workshop to develop Smart Legal Contracts
3. Development of learning processes to assist and automate responses to calls for projects by contextualising them within SOGET's organisation in order to optimise and mobilise its skills. The proposed solutions will be based on explanatory AI in order to provide an effective tool for precision.
4. Scheduling appointments : Optimising container flows in port terminals using advanced algorithms

The SmartLogiLab LabCom brings together the skills of SOGET, one of the world leaders in the development of logistics information systems in ports, particularly in Le Havre, and the LITIS research laboratory, which brings together the academic skills in ICST of the Universities of Le Havre, Rouen and the INSA in Rouen The world's major ports are facing major challenges in terms of technological developments and new generations of information systems that are intended to structure their environment and infrastructures. A permanent watch at the interfaces of applied research and emerging innovations is necessary to develop ambitious digital solutions allowing the port of Le Havre to remain in the race of the leaders and precursors of the port centres of the future. The current unprecedented acceleration requires stronger and more solid associations between the research skills that have been deployed for years in logistics in the Normandy region via the federative structure in logistics, SFLog, and via major ERDF structuring projects (Classe, XTerM, etc.). SmartLogisLab aims to steer this watch to develop proofs of concept in order to study innovative solutions to be included in the new generations of logistics and port information systems that SOGET will put into production. These new information systems must now meet the recent national, European and international directives relating to the digitalisation of all information at all stages of goods transport. SmartLogisLab concerns the development of new generations of Port Community Systems (PCS), integrating data platforms which are intended to become trusted third parties between the various actors of the port. The security and management of trust between the players who share these information systems require the implementation of blockchain-based technological solutions. The development of Smart Contracts will make it possible to automate and streamline the entire logistics chain in ports, particularly in HAROPA ports.
