InnoWaTr Centre of Expertise
21
Our FFCs reflect different development
stages of coalition building along the
implementation , testing and final testing
of IWT - based supply chains .
Thus , our FFCs offer valuable insights into
collaborative processes . They also
highlight external challenges our FFCs
faced , both along traditional , long -
distance supply chains and in urban
environments .
InnoWaTr ´ s FFCs build on innovative
technologies . Digital twins help
stakeholders understand effects of FFCs ,
remote controlled sailing keep costs at
bay and automated mooring makes
IWT safer .
The Centre of Expertise documents the
InnoWaTr journey by linking experience
from FFC building with innovative
technology use

Partners form
a FFC and
define its
objective .
The objective
is turned into a
FFC concept .
The concept is
transferred into
a prototype .
Testing the
prototype
generates
data .
Available data is
analysed to
evaluate and
refine the FFC .
