IoT In MotionPanel Discussion
Moderated by Dave Eagleson VP, BrightVolt Inc.
IoT in Motion
Today things are in constant motion, creating the need to track and trace, not only an items location, but to understand the entire journey- temperature, pressure, humidity. Today pallets, cases, cartons and boxes are all being tagged joining the world of IoT enabled devices.
The Focus of the panel will be on a real world deployment by Air Canada- enabling Cargo visibility …highlighting the need, the integration & the solution- now and into the future

AC CARGO – RFID GLOBAL DEPLOYMENT• Why initiate a change?
Improve Shipment Visibility
Support e-commerce Initiatives
Reduce Human Factor Errors
Enhance Utilization of Resources
Gain Competitive Advantage
5
AC CARGO – RFID GLOBAL DEPLOYMENT• Introduction of the new solution must be:
• Buildable • Integrate temperature and humidity sensors• Accommodate changing regulatory mandates - security and customs• Interface with Enterprise System - Unisys
• Scalable• Flexible solution adaptable to warehouse size, volume of cargo , labor force
• Limiting the impact of operational adoption• Reduce procedural burden• Utilize existing operational processes
6
AC CARGO – RFID GLOBAL DEPLOYMENT• How we initiated the change
Conduct RFID pilot, deliver
proof of concept
Overlay with
electronic messages

RFID DEPLOYMENT – BENEFITS • Process pre RFID vs process with RFID
Physical capture and delivery of shipment data HANDS FREE capture and delivery of
shipment data- Reduces physical foot print
-Improves data quality-Information is real time
- Physical process of data capture replaced by electronic messaging pushed by RFID
- Goods build up - Goods check-in
- Zero visibility replaced with real time event capture - Goods exported from warehouse - Goods imported into warehouse

RFID DEPLOYMENT – BENEFITS
No alert messages to advise potential errors
Electronic ALERT messaging to correct or prevent errors

The Glass Pipeline – IoT in Motion
* Source: IATA e-Freight diagram
Shipper labels each box with an RFID tag for use in transporting across the supply chain
Forwarder associates “house air waybill HAWB” label to the shipper RFID tag
Forwarder consolidates to CarrierCarrier associates “master air waybill” MAWB label to HAWB / RFID tag
Carrier delivers MAWB to Forwarder
Forwarder deconsolidates and delivers HAWB to Consignee
Creating the Glass Pipeline: a single RFID label

Challenges…
• Labeling – the shipper, forwarder, and carrier each have their own label formats and needs – The boxes need a physical label for manual handling purposes– The piece ID association needs to match the RFID label (e.g., if the
shipper thinks piece 1 is the iPhones and piece 2 is the iPads; the forwarder or carrier should not mix them up
– The shipper doesn’t know how the forwarder will consolidate and send it, so the box cannot be pre-labeled with the house air waybill number and master air waybill number
– The manual labor involved with a large number of boxes is significant

Challenges…
• Multiple providers involved in the supply chain
• RFID / piece ID tracking capability not everywhere
• Too much data at the piece level

Solution
• Flexibility– Start where you can, label when you need to do
• Shipper, Forwarder, Carrier
– Provide web services for interfacing electronically, associating and cross-referencing to the piece ID
– Use scanning or RFID technology appropriately– Design for piece ID visibility loss and re-gaining positive status– Consolidate piece ID data and remove clutter based on the audience

We’ve seen the Air Canada use case overview
… and the advanced air cargo Logistics Management System they use …
So, a logical extension to the process is making normal,
‘physical things, that are not connected via a network or IP
address, visible, so we can connect them to the digital
world seamlessly… But how?
By 1st Printing,
Attaching and Associating
RFID Labels to “Physical Things”
We can connect “Physical Things” to the “Digital World”
Then using RFID Readers to read and locate RFID
Labels
CargoAware uses a blend of the latest evolving technologies, tailored for each process area and requirement.
This, along with special algorithms provides real time data collection from the “Edge of the Business” for product movement, location and even environmental conditions… in many instances as a ‘Hands-Free’ solution.
Blending different technologies, from mobile computer terminals, to bar code scanners, to handheld RFID readers, to hands-free RFID readers provides incredible visibility to normally unconnected Physical Things
Real Time Actionable Data across the FULL SUPPLY CHAIN
Seamless messaging and integration across multiple supply chain partners and systems…
IoT in Motion
Improved Efficiency, Safety, Security, Quality and Revenue for Immediate ROIAccurate metrics for continuous process improvement and business intelligence
Our Moderator, Dave Eagleson, constantly reminds us all that, “Capturing a lot of real time edge data is cool, but it is not worth much if the data we collect can’t be made actionable.”
Through detailed data collection and piece level location service, coupled with integrated messaging to air cargo and other logistic provider systems, CargoAware couples information about “Unconnected Physical Things” with the “Digital World’, providing real time actionable data, benefits and competitive differentiation.

IoT Use Cases
31 | RR Donnelley | MIT Connected Things 2016
I is not simply the Infrastructure needed…• Information
– What, where, who, when
• Insight– Why, what for
• Income– What’s in it for me/you/us?
32 | RR Donnelley | MIT Connected Things 2016
All Things are not the same• The information, insight,
and income drivers are different
33 | RR Donnelley | MIT Connected Things 2016
The future of IoT is mass deployment• And to get there, we’ll need
– Capability• Products that gather and provide the right type of information
(RFID, variety of sensors, real-time reporting, etc.)– Characteristics
• Form factors that match to use cases (labels, tags, cards)– Capacity
• Will there be enough available when I need them?– Cost
• Can I afford to deploy them? Is there an ROI?– Complete Solution
• Supplies information, insight, income
34 | RR Donnelley | MIT Connected Things 2016
How is RR Donnelley supporting IoT?• Implementing a high-volume, flexible production
system for IoT solutions– Printed Electronics combined with a variety of final form factors– Leveraging the best of print with the best of traditional
electronics in a hybrid manufacturing solution• Printed circuits, printed batteries, traditional logic and a mix of
sensors– Building customized solutions based on business needs
• Building and supporting data service infrastructure– From Intranet to Internet, enabling the insights our customers
need to drive value with IoT
