This situation prevents stakeholders from truly efficient collaboration, creates reliance on manual processes, and lacks door-to-door visibility and transparency from a customer point of view.The initiatives defined and driven by IATA aim to address these challenges, by leading the industry with end-to-end supply chain collaboration on the development of innovative technologies, streamlined processes, and global standards. IATA's vision is to achieve a fully digitally connected and integrated air cargo supply chain.“When something goes wrong, it takes time to get information”. Air cargo customers demand greater end-to-end visibility and real-time information about their shipments. The demand for such capabilities is exploding due to the growth of e-Commerce. Online retailers and shoppers need and want to know where their shipments are at any time.The Interactive Cargo project aims at developing responsive air cargo services based on intelligent systems that are able to self-monitor, send real-time alerts, respond to deviations to meet customers' expectations, and report on the cargo journey to allow data-driven improvements.As the Project Manager Interactive Cargo, I lead and drive the Interactive Cargo Task Force to develop a set of standards to:- simplify the complex approval process of connected devices,- identify and harmonize the data elements to be captured,- and define a framework related to the ownership and usage of such data.

As such, space logistics is a new field of its own and although many concepts can be inherited from current logistics practice,… Show more The EPFL Space Center (eSpace) has started a new research initiative on Sustainable Space Logistics to address the next big challenges in space engineering, namely how to manufacture, transport, store, deliver and remove materials, goods, structures, and humans in space. Numerous innovations in the space segment are still needed to revolutionize these space operations. As such, space logistics is a new field of its own and although many concepts can be inherited from current logistics practice, it requires the creation of a new set of competencies. Moreover, as space is a unique and fragile resource, it is key to develop this new ecosystem with a long-term and sustainable vision.Main responsibilities and achievements:- Scouted for EPFL technology with applications in space (Big data, blockchain, AI, robotics, etc.)- Initiated discussion with space companies (ArianeGroup, Airbus, Thales, etc.) and start-ups interested in Sustainable Space Logistics to launch new research collaborations and industrial partnerships.- Explored research funding opportunities (European Commission H2020, Swiss National Science Foundation, ESA tenders and call for ideas, Swiss Space Center call, Innogrant, industry grants, Tech4Impact playgrant, Swiss Data Science Center call, etc.)- Initiated and negotiated research agreements- Led research initiatives in the field of sustainable space logistics (ontology, transport optimization software, technology roadmapping)- Built a strong network with space institutions, industry, and universities- Promoted space research and its application to the public by participating in conferences and events.
