Book Description
Cold chain sector in India is gaining ground with greater government thrust on reducing food wastage and has a bright future ahead of itself. Gauging the market prospects of the sector, Niir Project Consultancy Services has published a new report titled ‘Market Research Report on Cold Chain Logistics in India (Cold Storage and Reefers)- Present Scenario, Future Prospects, Market Potential, Opportunities, Growth Drivers, Industry Size, Analysis & Forecasts Upto 2017’ giving valuable insights into the sector and illuminating the roadmap to its growth. The report scrutinizes the integrated cold chain sector in various lights to provide data bites on areas like the present scenario, value drivers of the industry, future prospects, challenges faced by the industry, demand-supply scenario, porter’s 5 force analysis and information on key players operating in the industry. The report begins by sharing the very basic information about the industry like its definition, components, structure and user industries. It elaborates on the above mentioned points with the aim of enhancing the basic industry knowledge of the reader. After that it proceeds to elaborate on the value drivers that will contribute to the growth of the sector. Indian cold chain industry will be driven by the resurgence of user industries primarily coupled with escalating government support and emergence of the organized retail sector in the industry. The above mentioned data is meticulously expounded and supported by graphical representation and forecasts of key indicators. Now to deepen the analysis on the growth prospects of the industry, the report discusses opportunities existing in the country for the sector. The favorable Indian demographical situation, rising incomes and urbanization are some apparent opportunities for the cold chain players. Additionally rising food expenditure by Indians and governmental focus on effective healthcare and nutrition will keep the industry buoyant. However the industry faces some impediments in the form of weak infrastructure and power and land sourcing issues. Opportunities outweigh the challenges faced by the industry and hence it has ample fuel to last its growth drive in the nation. The market potential of the cold chain sector in India is captured, in the report, by analyzing the demand and supply situation of cold chains in India. The cold chain facilities in India are utilized by industries like processed food, dairy, meat & poultry, horticulture and food service industry. The production numbers of the mentioned user industries is a reliable way of demand assessment. The report also includes key forecasts of user industry’s production data. Similarly supply side of the cold chain industry is netted by the number of cold storages, with existing capacities, operating in the industry and the data about cold chain projects set up under various government schemes. Moving forward, the report analyzes the attractiveness of the sector by evaluating the status of porters 5 forces prevalent in the sector. Any sector is said to be most attractive when the 5 forces are at their weakest and the report explicates the forces methodically to simplify the analysis. Lastly to conclude the analysis, the report shares company information on key players like Kausar India Ltd, Snowman Logistics Ltd and Fresh & Healthy Enterprises Ltd. The next segment provides complete financial details of cold chain players in the country. It covers contact information like address of registered office, director’s name and financial comparison covering balance sheet, profit & loss account and several financial ratios of the players. The report ends with a promising outlook of the sector. Indian cold chain sector has bright future ahead of itself with the much revered governmental support and changing consumer dynamics. Indian market is evolving with changing lifestyles, rising urbanization and growing disposable incomes which will be the key benefactors of growth in cold chain user industries like Food service industry, processed food industry and organized retail industry. Additionally mounting government endeavors towards reducing food wastage and penetrating healthcare in deep corners of the country will help in strengthening cold chain infrastructure in India. The cold chain sector in India is still in the nascent stage with enormous growth potential on the back of climatic diversification and geographically vast size of the country.

Safe and Sustainable Transport: A Matter of Quality Assurance
Author: European Conference of Ministers of Transport
Publisher: Conference
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Road safety is generally a mixture of three components, namely, the road, the vehicle and the driver, or, as also referred to by the ECMT, the infrastructure, the vehicle and human behaviour. Promotion of road safety is more and more possible only through a larger scope of interest -- environment, sustainability, and quality of life. In the future, an efficient road transport system should provide a safe and sustainable accessibility. The idea of organising a seminar came from a presentation by a Swedish representative of the "Vision Zero" programme, adopted by the Swedish Parliament in autumn 1997. The basic idea of "Vision Zero" is that no person should be killed or seriously and permanently impaired in a road traffic accident. At the invitation of the Czech authorities, the seminar was held in March 2002 in Prague. Many governmental and non governmental organisations responsible for road safety policies and work participated in the event.

Digitising the Industry - Internet of Things Connecting the Physical, Digital and Virtual Worlds
Author: Peter Friess
Publisher: River Publishers
ISBN: 8793379811
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
This book provides an overview of the current Internet of Things (IoT) landscape, ranging from the research, innovation and development priorities to enabling technologies in a global context. A successful deployment of IoT technologies requires integration on all layers, be it cognitive and semantic aspects, middleware components, services, edge devices/machines and infrastructures. It is intended to be a standalone book in a series that covers the Internet of Things activities of the IERC - Internet of Things European Research Cluster from research to technological innovation, validation and deployment. The book builds on the ideas put forward by the European Research Cluster and the IoT European Platform Initiative (IoT-EPI) and presents global views and state of the art results on the challenges facing the research, innovation, development and deployment of IoT in the next years. The IoT is bridging the physical world with virtual world and requires sound information processing capabilities for the "digital shadows" of these real things. The research and innovation in nanoelectronics, semiconductor, sensors/actuators, communication, analytics technologies, cyber-physical systems, software, swarm intelligent and deep learning systems are essential for the successful deployment of IoT applications. The emergence of IoT platforms with multiple functionalities enables rapid development and lower costs by offering standardised components that can be shared across multiple solutions in many industry verticals. The IoT applications will gradually move from vertical, single purpose solutions to multi-purpose and collaborative applications interacting across industry verticals, organisations and people, being one of the essential paradigms of the digital economy. Many of those applications still have to be identified and involvement of end-users including the creative sector in this innovation is crucial. The IoT applications and deployments as integrated building blocks of the new digital economy are part of the accompanying IoT policy framework to address issues of horizontal nature and common interest (i.e. privacy, end-to-end security, user acceptance, societal, ethical aspects and legal issues) for providing trusted IoT solutions in a coordinated and consolidated manner across the IoT activities and pilots. In this, context IoT ecosystems offer solutions beyond a platform and solve important technical challenges in the different verticals and across verticals. These IoT technology ecosystems are instrumental for the deployment of large pilots and can easily be connected to or build upon the core IoT solutions for different applications in order to expand the system of use and allow new and even unanticipated IoT end uses. Technical topics discussed in the book include: IntroductionDigitising industry and IoT as key enabler in the new era of Digital EconomyIoT Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda IoT in the digital industrial context: Digital Single MarketIntegration of heterogeneous systems and bridging the virtual, digital and physical worldsFederated IoT platforms and interoperabilityEvolution from intelligent devices to connected systems of systems by adding new layers of cognitive behaviour, artificial intelligence and user interfaces.

The Geography of Transport Systems
Author: Jean-Paul Rodrigue
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136777326
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
Mobility is fundamental to economic and social activities such as commuting, manufacturing, or supplying energy. Each movement has an origin, a potential set of intermediate locations, a destination, and a nature which is linked with geographical attributes. Transport systems composed of infrastructures, modes and terminals are so embedded in the socio-economic life of individuals, institutions and corporations that they are often invisible to the consumer. This is paradoxical as the perceived invisibility of transportation is derived from its efficiency. Understanding how mobility is linked with geography is main the purpose of this book. The third edition of The Geography of Transport Systems has been revised and updated to provide an overview of the spatial aspects of transportation. This text provides greater discussion of security, energy, green logistics, as well as new and updated case studies, a revised content structure, and new figures. Each chapter covers a specific conceptual dimension including networks, modes, terminals, freight transportation, urban transportation and environmental impacts. A final chapter contains core methodologies linked with transport geography such as accessibility, spatial interactions, graph theory and Geographic Information Systems for transportation (GIS-T). This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the field, with a broad overview of its concepts, methods, and areas of application. The accompanying website for this text contains a useful additional material, including digital maps, PowerPoint slides, databases, and links to further reading and websites. The website can be accessed at: http://people.hofstra.edu/geotrans This text is an essential resource for undergraduates studying transport geography, as well as those interest in economic and urban geography, transport planning and engineering.
