AI Use Cases for Ports and Terminals
Optimise Operation and Manpower Hours
Providing accurate Estimate Time of Arrival (ETA) forecasts by keeping track of different vessel route and developing real-time performance forecasts to optimise berthing time and stay duration of vessels. Port management will be able to address peak operation requirements and optimise manpower hours.
Container Analytics & Effective Monitoring of Goods and Vehicles
With available container information, effectively monitor types of goods, stay duration in the ports, and other information that can help management better analyse and track movements of containers. This will provide opportunity to better plan and manage operation.
Real-time Automatic Identification of Goods using OCR
OCR technology is essential in the port environment. It is capable of detecting and recognising alphanumeric or symbol-based characters and linking them to digital information: container codes, wagon codes, barcodes, vehicle number plates, serial numbers and, in general, any code with a standardised structure in the logistics and port industry.
Identify Best Routes
Predictive transport modelling enables intelligent analysis of delivery routes, both maritime and overland. This optimise routes and schedules, eliminate potential inefficiencies and improve overall port activity. Today, artificial intelligence algorithms have the ability to analyse all kinds of variables, from the weather to the demand for goods. Knowing this information is essential to make strategic decisions quickly.
Improve Workplace and Workforce Safety
Cut accidents and create safer working environments by setting alerts and detecting dangerous or unusual activities. AI can also improve security and cyber security, which is increasingly important in ports. All these uses lead to optimisation, sustainability and cost savings in day-to-day tasks in ports and their operations
Cut Carbon Emission
AI and advanced analytics can provide a better picture of maritime energy efficiency from a port perspective and show how port management, port infrastructure development and port logistical systems contribute to overall maritime energy efficiency and air quality.
