The INCODE project solutions are introduced as key enablers for an open and trusted cloud-native programming platform poised to tame the emerging dynamicity of distributed and heterogeneous private edge infrastructures. The INCODE project aims at innovating and creating a wide-open, secure, and trusted IoT-to-edge-tocloud compute continuum that will realize the true potential of edge intelligence. To this aim, the INCODE (INtelligent COllaborative DEployments) project will design and develop an open platform for the deployment and dynamic management of end-user applications, over distributed, heterogeneous, and trusted IoT-Edge node infrastructures, with enhanced programmability features and tools, in four different Application Areas. In this context, iLink participates in the project as an Application Area 1 leader and use case owner. The mission is to provide end-to-end solutions in Logistics and Transport quality value chain. For this reason, two different use cases have been designed from the participating partners under AA1: • UC1:  Internal Asset Management (workers, forklifts, packages) • UC2: External Logistics optimization. The outcomes of this project are expected to be, among others, the significant improvement of working safety standards, optimized asset management, and reduction of resources in every stage of the supply chain. Those targets can be reached through several key actions such as the evaluation of smart logistics scenarios at the terminal stations, optimized loading and unloading scheduling, knowledge-based decision-making, estimation of the most efficient route according to multiple data inputs, and real-time data regarding cargo status through the utilization of IoT sensors, 5G networks, and state-of-the-art software architecture. The specific Application Area raises major opportunities in terms of developing sustainable and circular practices, tools, and innovative products or services.
