Data Hub KV4.0 Starts Operations with Partners

After the successful go-live of the KV4.0 data hub in March, the first partners have begun exchanging production data to improve transparency in the supply chain. The new data hub connects all stakeholders in combined transport for the first time.

(Frankfurt) DXI customers, including freight forwarders and combined transport operators, terminals, and railway companies, started exchanging real-time data via the KV4.0 data hub in March. The hub is based on the #EDIGES data exchange standard and allows access to schedules, bookings, terminal status, train journeys, as well as pre- and post-hauls on the road. Data exchange occurs in real-time and without barriers, but always within an authorized distribution circle. The unique technical connection to the KV4.0 data hub also enables the exchange of forecast data such as Estimated Time of Pickup (ETP) among the involved partners to enhance transparency in the supply chain. Interested parties can find detailed information about the company’s service offerings on the new website www.dx-intermodal.com.

Cross-System Data Platform

DXI is the new company operating the KV4.0 data hub, which connects all stakeholders in combined transport data-wise for the first time. Shareholders include the combined transport operators Hupac and Kombiverkehr, the transport companies Hoyer and Paneuropa, the railway company Lokomotion, and the combined terminal Ludwigshafen. The company, founded at the end of June 2022, emerged from the research project “Digitalization of Intermodal Supply Chains – KV4.0,” which created a cross-system data platform for combined transport.
