Every layer already exists and runs in production elsewhere. Kakehashi applies it to logistics.
Competitors share only what they agree to. Customer identities and contract prices never leave each company's own connector — enforced technically, not by trust.
DHL's internal engine scores each shipment by CO₂, cost, and partner reliability. Human dispatchers make the final call. The system automatically protects service commitments.
Built on Japan's own METI-backed data-sharing network — already proven to interoperate with Europe's Catena-X. No new governing body required.
Pilot for sharing trunk-transport capacity on the Tokyo–Osaka corridor, governed by JPIC.
Real-time asset administration shell deployment across DHL Japan warehouse network.
Japan faces a projected 38% shortfall in truck drivers by 2030. With 88.8% of domestic freight moving by road and an average load factor of just 40%, most trucks run half-empty — a dual crisis of carbon and labour.
Kakehashi proposes a privacy-preserving shared corridor inspired by Catena-X, the automotive industry's proven data-sharing standard, adapted for logistics through Japan's own Ouranos Ecosystem.
