INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY has been able to identify inefficiencies, such as waiting periods and non-operational times through the use of visualisation modules, an eu funded iTerminals innovation study has revealed.
The iTerminals innovation project recently presented its results on standard digital language for container terminals in real operations, reported London’s Port Technology.
The conference’s session was a round table discussion where participants presented their project-related experiences in cybersecurity and the quality of the data that is currently accessible.
The conference’s last session was devoted to the application of the digital standard in fields including predictive maintenance, energy conservation, and operational security in port terminals.
The conference also dealt with IoT (internet of things) in which devices were mounted on port machinery to record and transmit operational data to BigData management platforms.
The project partners discussed the creation of the language known as TIC4.0 Semantics and its areas of application at the conference.
The iTerminals 4.0 project aimed to develop and test in real operations a standard digital language that facilitates bidirectional communication between port equipment and container terminal operations management systems.
The initiative is led by Fundacion Valenciaport and co-financed by the Connecting Europe Facility Programme (CEF) of the European Commission.
This communication language has already been implemented in the terminals run by the CMA CGM-Terminal Link group in Malta, Thessaloniki, Dunkerque, and Montoir, as well as in the terminals of the PSA group in Antwerp, Sines and Genoa.
