Expectations for the Future
Automation of logistics has only started
continued need for efficient information management
growing penetration of society with information technology
successive shift from dedicated systems to integrated solutions
Centralised vs decentralised information systems
no single system expected to offer best solution for all needs
continued reliance of many customers on individual inhouse systems
automation blueprint directed at modular platforms for internal and external users
adoption of open Internet standards (XML) as common shell to ensure interoperability
Operational linkup of freight management and dynamic traffic control systems
