Closing the Loop: Next Generation Solutions in Fully Traceable Re-usable Packaging for the Automotive

该项目旨在设计一种完全可追溯和可重复使用的包装解决方案，以支持GEFCO英国为其汽车客户提供的物流服务。该项目的关键阶段是：--绘制当前状态流图和确定价值损失--量化问题以及与当前包装和标签解决方案相关的环境影响--研究现有的跟踪、识别和核实技术，并确定潜在的解决方案--从经济、社会和环境的角度评估潜在的解决方案--实施首选解决方案的试点--为选定的解决方案制定一项推广计划，使之与EPSRC循环经济的横向主题保持一致。循环经济是制造未来主题的一部分

The project aims to design a solution for fully-traceable and re-usable packaging to support GEFCO UK's logistics services to their automotive clients. Key stages of the project are:-- The mapping of current state flows and identification of value losses- The quantification of issues and associated environmental impact with current packaging and labelling solutions- Researching available tracking, identification and verification technologies and identifying potential solutions- Evaluating potential solutions from economic, social and environmental perspectives - Implementing a pilot of the preferred solution- Developing a roll-out plan for the chosen solution It aligns with the EPSRC cross-cutting theme of the Circular Economy. Circular Economy is part of the Manufacturing the Future theme
