Abstract
This paper proposes a column-first data model as a novel approach to describe transshipment with consolidation for implementing the Physical Internet. The strength of this approach lies in its ability to represent complex existing logistics structures, such as variable container hierarchies and multiple transshipments, and in its flexibility to support the future addition of new data elements. These attributes are essential for constructing a logistics digital twin. As the system infrastructure and applications underpinning the Physical Internet are expected to evolve incrementally, the approach proposed in this study is well positioned to make a meaningful contribution to that progressive development.
