Operations and Technology Conference<br />
Day 1 - Tuesday 18 September<br />
10:00 - 11:45 - Mobile Data and Connectivity<br />
10:00 - Mobile innovation<br />
Daryl Jackson, postal segment leader, Deloitte Consulting, USA<br />
The landscape of mobile technology is evolving quickly: posts must develop a forward-thinking mobile strategy to<br />
align their digital and physical services. This presentation will discuss how to harness the power of technology by<br />
focusing on customer needs and offering innovative solutions.<br />
10:20 - New momentum in CEP IT: hyperconnection, smartphones and cloud computing<br />
Dr Michael Linke, chief architect Mail/Logistics, T-Systems International, Germany<br />
Improved technical IT possibilities, increased smartphone and cloud usage, important momentum on major tradelanes<br />
and core socioeconomic developments have led to a global, multi-connected, so-called hyperconnected,<br />
market of people, goods, ideas and techniques. This situation results in higher demands and higher customer<br />
expectation on a B2B and B2C level and therefore enhanced challenges and goals for IT organisations in the CEP<br />
market. Although there are proven tools and techniques to achieve these goals, the specific dimensions of the<br />
hyperconnection should be properly analysed and set in scope of the CEP organisations’ overall goals.<br />
10:40 - Unlocking the value of data from first to last mile<br />
Mark Davis, EMEA industry manager, Honeywell, UK<br />
How data collected in the postal chain can provide opportunities. Information collected, for example at post office<br />
counters, in package flows and recipient preferences, means that postal operators retain huge volumes of data. How<br />
can this data be used to improve productivity and open up new revenue streams?<br />
11:00 - Mobile postman: utilise existing staff to generate new revenue sources<br />
Menachem Diamanstein, senior director WW Postal/Courier Vertical Solutions & Network Services, Motorola<br />
Solutions, UK<br />
The postal and courier industries are changing quickly due to the decline in physical mail and increase in internet<br />
shopping. Improved efficiency is no longer the goal: new ways to utilise existing staff and infrastructure to generate<br />
new sources of revenue is the name of the game. To survive, every postal organisation needs to automate and<br />
have all relevant data in digital form. Mobile payment is a hot issue; postal employees are reliable and are on every<br />
doorstep, every day. The sensor network offers a new direction for revenue generation. These sensors utilise postal<br />
fleets for sensing air quality, cellular coverage, road conditions, etc.<br />
11:20 - 11:45 Q&A<br />
10:00 - 12:30 - Moving Mail and Logistics<br />
Identifying the key challenges and issues<br />
10:00 - Moving mail and logistics<br />
Marten Buettner, division head, LKE Group, Germany<br />
The presentation will focus on vehicles, scooters and everything related to logistics, including green initiatives.<br />
Experiences, applications and Innovation<br />
10:20 - Synchronised supply chain: get ahead of your competitors<br />
Dr Eva Savelsberg, vice president Logistics Division, Inform GmbH, Germany<br />
For postal operators, efficient processes in distribution centres are essential to deliver consignments in a cost- and<br />
time-efficient manner. However, automation is mostly limited to the inside of the centre: the sorting plant. The<br />
optimisation possibilities of the yard are often disregarded. This potential should be exploited by implementing<br />
a yard management system that decisively increases throughput without the need to add extra manpower or<br />
purchase expensive equipment. Together with a customer, presenting a real-life case study, this presentation will<br />
demonstrate how in state-of-the-art hubs an intelligent yard management system can help overcome growth<br />
barriers, leading to increased time- and cost-efficiency.<br />
10:40 - Supply chain and yield management: linking mailers and postal operators electronically<br />
Enno Ebels, managing director Data Quality Solutions, Neopost, France<br />
Optimising a postal supply chain is the same as for any supply chain: advanced information on what will enter the<br />
postal sorting centres is key to making operational decisions around sorting-centre yield management. This is a<br />
presentation of case studies on electronic interchange between mailers and postal operators, allowing advanced<br />
planning and optimising investment in sorting-centre staff and equipment, ensuring operators can confront the<br />
challenges around effecting a return on the resources deployed. It will also cover extension of revenue and quality<br />
controls from creation of mailpieces to the last mile delivery, creating an end-to-end and seamless experience for<br />
postal operators and their customers.
