Podcasts about tradelens

I 2018 lancerede A. P. Møller-Mærsk og amerikanske IBM et af de mest ambitiøse projekter i dansk erhvervsliv. Nogensinde. De startede platformen Tradelens, som skulle revolutionere den globale handel. I ét ryk ville man fjerne et kvælende bureaukrati og skabe en gennemsigtighed, som ville være til gavn for alle - kunder, rederier, havne og myndigheder. Men Tradelens blev opgivet allerede i 2022 og forsvandt ind i glemmebogen. Indtil nu. To forskere, lektor Martin Jes Iversen og phd-studerende Kate Markhvida, begge CBS, udgiver om kort tid en forskningsartikel, hvor de undersøger, hvad der gik galt. Martin Jes Iversen og Kate Markhvida har talt med nøglepersoner hos Mærsk, hos IBM, hos konkurrenter, hos myndigheder og hos industrieksperter. Niels Lunde taler med Martin Jes Iversen om, hvad der gik galt med Tradelens. 03.00: Ambitionen var ”gigantisk”. 13.38: Forklaring 1: Mærsk-ledelsen tabte tålmodigheden. 26.20: Forklaring 2: Shipping er en gammel og mistænksom branche. 34.00: Forklaring 3: For høje forventninger til teknologien.  38.21: Den interne læring hos Mærsk. 47.30: Niels' opsamling.

TradeLens, the IBM/Maersk venture to overhaul international shipping documentation handling, has been abandoned and will come to an end. Long live TradeLens. Now, if you're wondering what this post has to do with digital innovations in oil and gas, consider that oil (and increasingly gas) is shipped internationally. The oil and gas industry is also a huge buyer of stuff that is sourced internationally and improvements in shipping are directly relevant to the cost of the industry. The underlying technology building blocks (cloud computing, blockchain, data standards, analytics) are common to many oil and gas innovations too. TradeLens had a lot going for it: A big and global problem to solve A compelling business case for the customers Big global partners with deep pockets able to finance the development and actuate the marketing Deep skills in the key domains (shipping, technology) Alignment with the partners' respective business strategies (IBM as delivery partner  and Maersk as business domain expert) The timing for the venture was not ideal. Despite being well hypothesized, the pandemic timing was not predicted, nor was the timing of the invasion of Ukraine. The pandemic has hammered supply chains globally, and the invasion has disrupted food movements, energy flows and lots besides. Participants throughout the supply chains likely have their hands full just trying to cope, let along embrace new ways of working. I can imagine uptake wasn't strong, but that's the reality of start ups and shouldn't be an excuse. So here's to the death of TradeLens the platform, but long live TradeLens the idea of transformation international shipping to be more like Uber and less like Where's Waldo.

Waves of change In episode 207, you meet Matthew Schwab, Captain, CEO, and Subject Matter Expert. Matthew is a former Master Mariner who has gone ashore and is now using all his skills from his time at sea to business development and coaching. Matthew believes in the true strength of blockchain and is sorry to see the TradeLens project being scrapped. We discuss web2 and web3, and Matthew explains the non-fungible token NFT. There are a lot of things to pick up on in this conversation.  Matthew is pushing innovation and is convinced that digitalisation will make the maritime industry sustainable, so we need to be more open and find collaboration.

Willkommen bei de Logistik4punktnull - News für die KW 50-2022. Heute haben wir folgende News für euch: #1 Der Online-Händler SHEIN kommt nach Europa Der chinesische Fashion-Händler eröffnet sein erstes Lager in Polen und startet mit der Produktion in der Türkei. Damit soll der Servicegrad minimiert und der Anteil der Überproduktion verringert werden. #2 TRADELENS gibt Ende des Dienstes bekannt Der dänische Reeder Maersk und der amerikanische Soft-Konzern IBM geben das Ende der Kooperation Tradelens bekannt. Das auf der Blockchain-Technologie basierende Projekt hat es ihrer Ansicht nach nicht zum Durchbruch geschafft. #3 Erhöhung der LKW MAUT ab Januar 2023 Die Bundesregierung hat zum Januar nächsten Jahres eine Erhöhung der LKW Maut beschlossen. Ferner wurde eine zusätzliche Maut ab 3.5 Tonnen sowie eine veränderte Verwendung der Einnahmen ab 2024 beschlossen #4 Handelsströme verlagern sich in Richtung USA-EU In einer Studie kommt der IT-Projektanbieter Project44 zu dem Schluss, dass sich die Warenströme weg von Fernost in die USA verlagern. Dies begründet sich auf verschiedenen Entwicklungen und fördert das transatlantische Verhältnis. #5 Bedeutung der Logistik in der Gesellschaft Die Ansehen der Logistik ist beim Thema Versorgungssicherheit für die Bevölkerung enorm. Das betrifft auch neue Logistikansiedlungen, wie eine Umfrage im Auftrag der Logivest heraus fand. # Eilmeldung: Weiterer Schritt beim Schenker Verkauf In der kommenden Woche soll der Aufsichtsrat der Deutschen Bahn mit der Aufgabe betraut werden einen Verkauf der Logistiktochter Schenker von bis zu 100% vorzubereiten. Mit einer Entscheidung für den Verkauf wird allerdings nicht gerechnet.

Pase a los esfuerzos realizados por TradeLens, la plataforma creada por IBM y Maersk no logró cumplir las expectativas de sus creadores, ya que en los cuatro años de funcionamiento de la plataforma de intercambio de datos, solo logró crear una red de más de 300 miembros, lo cual resultó en el cierre de la misma.

Dagens erhvervsoverblik: Efter at have brugt seks år på at opbygge blockchainplatformen Tradelens trækker Mærsk nu stikket på projektet. Professor betegner det som et tabt kapløb mod konkurrenten. Halvdelen af de grønneste investeringsfonde i Danmark sender stadig kunders penge mod olie, kul og gas. Imens sætter Kina turbo på udviklingen af atomvåben, lyder det fra Pentagon.  Dagens vært: Frederik Vincent (frvi@borsen.dk)

Gary Storr, General Manager of Trust Your Supplier by ChainYard, explained to us some of the challenges that the supplier information management industry is facing with disparate sources of information and the role blockchain can help to mitigate them. In this podcast you will hear how Trust Your Supplier creates a trusted source of supplier information and digital identity that simplifies and accelerates supplier onboarding, lifecycle management and the seamless exchange of information.   What is blockchain? For Gary the best way to explain what is blockchain is what it isn’t. Blockchain is not a cryptocurrency, it’s a technology. It isn’t a programming language. Blockchain is a ledger that is organised in a sequence of blocks that are chained together. It is  distributed and it’s immutable. Blockchain is highly secure and decentralised, thus allowing for a multitude of participants to store information on the blockchain within the ledger. Security is assured by encryption and hashing technology making it impenetrable from current day hacking.   What is ChainYard? ChainYard is a subsidiary of IT People Company, founded by Sai Nidamarty, its CEO. IT People Company is essentially an IT staffing business that was started in 1999. IBM is a close partner to IT People Company, so when Sai noticed that blockchain was taking off he decided to spun off a new organisation called ChainYard with the intent for it to be a service organisation providing IT consulting services in and around blockchain. Within a few years of launching ChainYard, Sai recognised there was an opportunity to create commercial applications on blockchain to address serious needs within the enterprise, such as Trust Your Supplier. ChainYard is now a 5 years old organisation with 80 staff providing blockchain services and products.   Challenges of the supplier information management industry Supplier information management is about getting information on a supplier. It is essentially an identity question which blockchain is particularly good at with regards to establishing an identity and to protecting it. Traditional enterprises have traditional systems where identities are very segmented. It isn’t unusual for large supplier to have hundreds of identities within the system architecture. This is highly unmanageable. Systems could be storing, for a single identity, multiple versions of the truth for a contact with varying degrees of accuracy. Questions regarding data privacy are another issue. Coming out of an enterprise and looking at the market a supplier would want to have a single identity as it deals with a number of customers. Similarly to a driver’s license or to a passport you want a single identity to be used across the value chain. Consequently, there is an opportunity for efficiency, for speed, for reduction of cost, for reduction of risk and for compliance.   Trust Your Supplier (TYP) IBM, a partner of ChainYard, recognised that there were some pain points within its supplier information. Both IBM and ChainYard expressed the desire to leverage their respective blockchain expertise to tackle those challenges. Trust Your Supplier was thus born to tackle not just IBM’s supplier identity issues, its supplier qualification and lifecycle management issues but also those of enterprises across industries in a decentralised manner. Within its capacity as a partner IBM teams from TradeLens and Food Trust have contributed to the expertise and development of Trust Your Supplier. With Trust Your Supplier, every supplier is provided with an identity on a blockchain platform. Provide them with easy tools and applications for them to access and process that identity in a meaningful way. It allows organisation to discover, identify, qualify, on board and manage relationships with suppliers in a decentralised manner with a single version of the truth. Trust Your Supplier application is in production for the last 18 mon...

TradeLens is a digital platform that empowers businesses and authorities along the supply chain with a single, secure source of shipping data, enabling more efficient global trade. Join us and Daniel Wilson, director of business development at TradeLens / Maersk and Juan-Jose Ruiz, Head of Strategy & Business Development at TradeLens / IBM to find out more about the exiciting TradeLens platform. Daniel and Juan are jointly responsible for building out the investment case, as well as overseeing and implementing TradeLens mid to long term strategy, and managing third party engagements.   What is blockchain? Today’s traditional ways of storing data, whether cloud native or locally are great if you're able to trust with absolute surety, that the people and the organisations and the systems managing those data will do so essentially, with impunity. You have no risk that the data stored there and the systems will have any way of being challenged or corrupted. However, we all know that these systems aren't perfect, and they have limiting features on them. Even systems as secure as banks have billions of dollars stolen from them each year. Because something as simple as hacking in and changing numbers in accounts is something that is feasible, given today's technology. So basically, what blockchain is, is a way of moving away from the centralization of control and authority. It’s moving away trust from a single body and towards a distributed way of managing that information, and a distributed way of managing trust. Essentially what this means it that everybody within a blockchain network has a stake in the management of the system. Everybody has a way of checking the actions and activities of everybody else. In an environment like supply chains this is very important as the idea of trusts and systems does not exist today as lots of paper and manual process are still being used in managing trade. What blockchain can enable, amongst other technologies, is a way of distributing digitization across the network, without centralising that control in any one party or body.   What is TradeLens?   Daniel used an analogy of the airport and planes to describe what is TradeLens. For example when Daniel books a flight to Europe from Newark airport in NY with United Airlines, he might find out that his plane is actually operated by Swiss Air on a different type of airplane leaving from a different terminal. However he can still choose his seat and check in using his United mobile app. Basically, air travel for passengers is great because you have these all in one solutions in front of you on your phone. Containerized shipping isn't like that. A typical container will have an end to end journey that involves as many as 30 organisations such as the port loading the container on the ship, the shipping line who has the ship, the banks providing financing, government's providing certification and clearance and much more. In those 30 organisations you’re dealing with at least 100 individuals and more than 200 information exchanges in the process of that container journey. And today, the best case scenario for most of those information exchanges, is an EDI communication protocol, which is 1970s technology, it's batch processing, it's not particularly resilient. Outside of EDI you’re dealing with emails, phone calls, WhatsApp and texting. But in the majority of cases those information exchanges are being done with a lot of paper and faxing. TradeLens is trying to address this lack of connectivity in three steps: Integrating within the systems of those 30 organisations to convert their data into the data standards that TradeLens has adopted Store the data into the TradeLens technology platform: Shipment milestones for 121 unique event types on the container’s end to end journey Documentation for TradeLens to receive, store and share documents in a structured or unstructured data format

The great race to connecting with air cargo customers on a real-time and all day basis, is nice work if you can get it. Enter Vanya Bukova and Jennifer Haigh. Both are part of an account executive team that reports to Helen Kristensen, United Cargo’s Manager Strategic Accounts. When writing of the Hong Kong conflict going on right now in the former Crown Colony, (now a special district) we cannot help but wonder what’s next for air cargo? So, we figure why not go to someone who carries the credentials of experience, knowledge, passion and air cargo building, Stan Wraight, CEO of Strategic Aviation Solutions (SASI). www.sasi.com.hk Ex-DSV executive Steve Walker called on FIATA to “become a safe haven for forwarders to discuss a wider new industry strategy,” in the face of vertical consolidation by shipping lines, and the attempt to control data via platforms such as TradeLens, a join partnership between IBM and Maersk. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/geoffrey-arend/support

This week your host, Matt Hooper, is exploring some of the most innovative and exciting trends in supply chain that he’s come across! Joining him is an expert in the space — Daniel Wilson. Daniel is the Director of Strategy and Operations at Maersk for the TradeLens project — an open and neutral platform underpinned by blockchain technology and supported by major industry players! Through TradeLens, over 10 million events are processed every week. The platform promotes a more efficient, predictable and secure exchange of information through the power of blockchain.   In this episode, Matt and Daniel discuss Maersk and TradeLens in-depth. They talk about what shipping and innovation look like today, give their predictions about what the industry may look like 10+ years from now, how TradeLens came to fruition, and how blockchain records all the shipping data. Daniel also talks about his TradeLens roadmap, Maersk’s ecosystem strategy, and how he originally became interested in blockchain!   Key Takeaways: [:01] About today’s episode and guest! [2:48] Daniel Wilson introduces himself and gives some background at his role at Maersk. [3:56] What shipping and innovation look like today vs. what Daniel thinks it will look like 10-30 years from now. [7:15] What originally drew Daniel to the industry. [9:05] Was there an IBM/Maersk relationship prior to TradeLens? How was Maersk working with major technology companies before the birth of this new partnership? [11:30] What was going on from a shipping perspective when there was an increase in global trade long before anyone was doing anything digitally? [13:23] When and how the TradeLens deal came to fruition. [16:40] Daniel speaks about his personal introduction to blockchain. [17:20] Where to learn all about the basics of blockchain through “Blockchain for Dummies!” [18:08] Before TradeLens came to be, how did Daniel come to understand blockchain and see an application for it in the industry? [21:17] How is shipping data accounted for now? And what will blockchain do to record that data? [24:04] Daniel explains the layers of TradeLens. [28:07] Who’s endorsing the TradeLens project in Maersk? [31:24] What was the executive buy-in like for this new blockchain project? How did Daniel get everyone excited for TradeLens? [33:00] What is TradeLens going to be up to five years from now? [34:53] What is Maersk’s ecosystem strategy? And what does Daniel mean when he refers to an open ecosystem? [36:36] Is it part of the plan to turn Maersk into a technology company? [38:18] Daniel provides examples of the terms of the TradeLens partnership (visible, secure, and flexible). [42:00] Matt asks: what is the comfort level from a business standpoint with owning so little of a major part of your next decade’s strategy output? [45:45] Daniel speaks to the companies that are dubious or skeptical of blockchain adoption. [47:32] Matt thanks Daniel for joining him, and closes out this week’s episode!   Sources Mentioned: Maersk TradeLens IBM.Biz/PodcastLearnBlockchain   Follow-up with Our Guest: Daniel Wilson’s LinkedIn   Looking for More Episodes?

In January, a new token is being launched on the ethereum blockchain that will be backed one-for-one by bitcoin. An advisory committee to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) believes the agency should provide clearer guidelines on how cryptocurrency transactions may be taxed. An arbitration body in China has ruled that despite the country's central bank ban on cryptocurrency trading, bitcoin should still be legally protected as a property with economic values. Shipping giant Maersk and tech provider IBM are wrestling with this problem with TradeLens, their distributed ledger technology (DLT) platform for supply chains.
