Belarus, China to develop smart system to monitor logistics flows
BEIJING, 17 July (BelTA) – Chairman of the State Committee for Science and Technology Igor Voitov and Senior Vice President in ZTE Corporation Zhang Renjun have signed a memorandum of understanding to implement an investment project to create a smart system to monitor logistics flows, BelTA learned from Yuri Lukashevich, Aide to the Chairman of the State Science and Technology Committee of Belarus.
“The smart system to monitor logistics flows will utilize modern information and communication technologies, and will be based on automatic identification of electronic CMR notes and invoices,” Yuri Lukashevich explained.
Another cooperation agreement deals with RFID technologies. The joint project aims at developing a smart system to monitor logistics flows and at creating basic infrastructure of service platforms, which will allow using a variety of service applications, preventing the spread of low-quality products, countering tax evasion and enhancing control over infringing goods. The project will allow expanding and upgrading own and joint production capacities in the field of promising radio-frequency identification technologies, handling transit cargo flows going from Western Europe to Western China via the territory of Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan.
A large-scale transition to radio-frequency identification technologies in trade, transport, logistics, electronic identification systems, and monitoring systems creates preconditions for the formation of cluster corporate associations incorporating designing and manufacturing companies.
The State Committee for Science and Technology and ZTE Corporation decided to conduct marketing research and will consider establishment of joint ventures producing communication equipment, component and spare parts with a view to creating an efficient telecommunication infrastructure. The facilities are to be set up at Belarusian companies taking into consideration the capacities of the Chinese-Belarusian Industrial Park.
