Resumen

This article focuses on the physical Internet. In the field of transport, ?Physical Internet? means a combination of digital transport networks that are being deployed to replace analog road networks. Architecturally (digital) the Internet does not transmit information: it transmits packets with embedded information. These packages are designed for ease of use in the digital Internet. The information in the package is encapsulated and not processed by the Internet. In turn, the Physical Internet is conceived in such a way that it does not manipulate physical things directly, be it materials, parts, goods or products. It manipulates only containers that are specifically designed for the physical Internet and the owners of wealth encapsulate physical goods in them. The vision of the physical Internet includes the packaging of goods in intelligent, eco-friendly and modular containers, ranging from the size of a shipping container to the size of a small box. Thus, he summarizes the sea container, which successfully supported globalization and formed and forms ships, sea and river ports, cars, railways and extends containerization to logistics services in general.
