ReNEW (Resilience-centric smart, green, Networked EU Inland Waterways) aims to play a key role in the transition of inland navigation – to a smart, green, sustainable and climate resilient sector. The consortium consists of parties from as many as 12 different countries. Several living labs will test solutions, including one in Ghent. Here, a multimodal […]
In the pharmaceutical sector, a smooth process from start to finish is crucial for success, especially when it comes to Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMP). The logistics of these types of medicines are complex due to specific requirements regarding temperature, reliability, and traceability. With the ATMP Logistics project, VIL aims to address these challenges by […]
The cSBO project PILL, carried out by VIL, imec, and MOBI VUB, aims to enhance logistical processes by utilizing the concept of the Physical Internet. This initiative seeks to make processes more efficient, reliable, flexible, and sustainable. The project will develop an IT system prototype that enables naval ports to integrate into the Physical Internet.
The European Union funds a lot of research in the field of transport and logistics to support competitiveness and address climate change. The BOOSTLOG project, of which VIL is a partner, aims to systematically collect the results of these projects and to boost their impact.
In this project VUB, VIL, UHasselt and KULeuven focus on synchromodality to absorb the growth of goods transport. A platform will be developed that creates a test environment using a digital twin component, to simulate synchromodal transport in a risk-free environment.
The VIL project ‘Trailer on Barge Shuttle’ aims to provide an innovative alternative in congestion sensitive areas in Flanders by shuttling empty and/or loaded trailers by barge over relatively short distances by means of a ro-ro (roll on – roll off) concept.
The logistic costs in the construction industry are considerably high. It is also getting harder and harder to get deliveries to construction sites on time, due to increasing mobility problems. VIL, together with the research center of the construction industry (BBRI), is working out the project ‘Bouwhubs’ (which means ‘construction hubs’ in Dutch) to develop […]
Log!Ville is the landmark innovation centre for the logistics ecosystem.
