At the heart of the project is the development of a Shared Integrated Container Information System (SICIS), which allows authorised companies and government authorities to access the planning and status information of selected consignments. Proactive planning based on the Supply Chain Event Management (SCEM) approach allows problems to be predicted well before they occur.
Matching logistics data with security information, including data from electronic seals, container security devices and scanning equipment, together with the integration of the AEO (Authorised Economic Operator) concept, will allow Integrity to meet the needs of both the logistics industry and customs authorities, according to the system’s backers.
Integrity will also integrate other building blocks, such as the results of the current EU–China Customs project (SSTL, or Smart and Secure Trade Lanes). The selected trade lane is one of the busiest corridors in the world, starting in China at the port of Yantian and extending via Rotterdam and Felixstowe into the European hinterland.
