TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION | ASIA | BARCODE Optimizing Logistics and Transportation for the 2022 FIFA World Cup

Background

The 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar was the first-ever World Cup hosted in Qatar and the Middle East, and only the second time the tournament was held in Asia since the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup. This highly anticipated global event took place from November 21 to December 18, 2022, across 12 stadiums in seven cities in Qatar, spanning 28 days. As the host country, Qatar faced complex logistics and transportation challenges, requiring efficient and secure transportation of goods throughout the tournament.

Challenges

During the World Cup, effective management and tracking of transportation vehicles, drivers, and goods were essential. The specific challenges included:
  1. Real-time Tracking: There was a need to monitor the location and status of drivers in real time to optimize resource allocation.
  2. Equipment Management: Ensuring the efficient use and maintenance of logistics equipment.
  3. Goods Recording: Accurately recording transportation goods to ensure transparency and real-time data availability.

Solution

Chainway partnered with the official organizers of the 2022 Qatar World Cup to become the official logistics equipment service provider. We deployed the C66 mobile computers to streamline logistics management, enabling real-time tracking of transportation vehicles, drivers, and goods throughout the tournament.
  • Transportation Vehicle and Driver Management: The C66 recorded and tracked vehicles and drivers, ensuring optimized resource allocation and minimizing delays.
  • Real-time Goods Transportation Monitoring: With the C66, the status of transported goods was constantly monitored, improving logistics transparency and responsiveness.
  • Efficient Data Access: The integrated information platform allowed managers to quickly access critical data, facilitating timely decision-making and providing valuable insights into vehicle and goods movements.
Additionally, the C66 was deployed in the automation of production management at local factories of logistics vehicle suppliers for the World Cup, further boosting information management capabilities and operational efficiency.

Results:
  1. Operational Efficiency: By automating the tracking and recording processes, the C66 reduced human error and improved overall efficiency in logistics management.
  2. Enhanced Decision-Making: Managers had access to comprehensive, real-time data, allowing for precise tracking of vehicles and goods and ensuring optimal allocation of driver resources.
  3. Improved Logistics Performance: The solution ensured the timely and secure transportation of goods during the World Cup, supporting the smooth operation of the event and contributing to its overall success.
