Automated Seamless Interfaces for Sustainable Transport (ASIST)

Research Project, 2024 – 2025

ASIST includes the following goals: - Identify relevant technologies for automated loading and unloading - Identify industrial characteristics to consider in relation to automated loading and unloading - Identify requirements that a seamless solution needs to satisfy - Prepare the development of business models that are relevant in relation to automated loading and unloading - Prepare a future research project that will expand the knowledge further

ASIST will contribute to the realisation of seamless goods transport solutions and support the transition to autonomous transports. ASIST contributes to all three dimensions of sustainability: the increased resource efficiency supports financial sustainability, the potential for smoother material flows and reduced congestion supports environmental sustainability, and the elimination of potentially strenuous manual handling improves working conditions and supports social sustainability.
