| Summary | The purpose of this series of projects is to develop and evaluate the platform system of air freight movements by adopting RFID, GPS, GIS technologies and international messages standards with emphasis on e-documentation and tracking. The whole pilot test is based on the supply chain concept, that is, the upstream part is to ship-out components from suppliers in China to Linkou in Taoyuan, and the downstream part is to ship-out finished goods to Kansas in the U.S.A after assembly. This project integrates RFID and GPS tracking, the ERP system of the shipper, the system of freight forwarders, ground handling agents/terminals and airlines, and customs release messages into the single window of the air freight operating platform. Furthermore, this project could not only focus on air freight movement tracking, but also adopt international message standards in e-documentation for e-freight implementation in Taiwan. The research scope and result of this project are (1) Reviewing literature related with air freight and security plans of international organizations and major countries, the introduction of RIFD applications on adjacent airports, and analysis on related air freight platforms. (2) Extending and improving the applications of RFID and the single window of the air freight operating platform, including the central control system, simplification and intelligence of RFID, and mechanism of un-successful read tags at first or any other reason for being unable to be read, with emphasis on RFID the information platform includes dangerous good planning, e-freight application and GPS monitoring etc. (3) Establishing the RFID standard operating procedure manual. (4) Proposing the RFID operating criteria and promoting suggestions of research results in the future, and therefore, the private participation and private construction model is advised in the following operations. The benefits of this project include: (1) the implementation of this project can save up to 38.8% of time, provide real-time air freight tracing and message standardization, to strengthen the competition of air freight trades in Taiwan. (2) Achieving the “Ubiquitous” air freight information service by loose coupling systems, e-documentation, and RFID tracing with UCR, providing real-time air cargo movement tracking, a paper-less environment, increasing the operation efficiency and quality. |
