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.
