Maher Terminals operates a 450-acre marine container terminal in Port Elizabeth, part of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey port complex.
It loads and unloads 2 million containers annually for its shipping line customers and serves as the major containership facility for cargoes entering and leaving the New York metropolitan area.
Maher Terminals chose Nokia because it needed a secure, reliable, high-bandwidth, low-latency wireless connectivity solution to optimise operations, supporting yard management, crane management, and gate operations.
Nokia Edge platform includes Nokia DAC for reliable private wireless connectivity and edge capabilities in MX Industrial Edge (MXIE), ruggedised industrial devices, Nokia Industrial device management and Network Digital Twin.
Nokia DAC enables real-time asset tracking and positioning, helping Maher Terminals maintain its cargo container handling objectives while increasing customer satisfaction.
The technology company’s industrial devices connect vehicles, like straddle carriers, and people to the network for efficient transfer of data and communication.
Nokia’s industrial device management allows remote configuration and firmware upgrades, while Nokia Network Digital Twin provides live telemetry, validating high-bandwidth and low-latency connectivity for better planning.
