The port industry is no exception. Being part of both larger transport projects remain isolated. At the equipment and requiring different and logistics (T&L) supply chains moment, ports in Western Europe types of products and services and in itself being a cluster of are leading the pack in these creates a complicated environment companies and businesses active in attempts. Although the Smart Port with multiple stakeholders. In the T&L sector, ports are in a and IoT initiatives are addition to heterogeneity of data, a unique position to fully grasp the commendable, there is still a long fear of transparency also remains a potential generated by these new way to go before we can truly speak major issue. Ports are typically high tech developments. of fully integrated ports that fully comprised of a cluster of competing capitalize on the potential of IoT companies. Within the wider T&L sector, and insight driven applications, in companies have begun other words true “Smart Ports”. Thus, they are often very hesitant experimenting with a range of to share information with a central connectivity and data-enabled Becoming a Smart Port means authority that has the ability to technologies.

A fully developed smart port can use it gained insights for new business model generation. However not all ports have the potential to integrate fully with their surroundings. Some ports might lack infrastructure or physical integration with their surroundings or might simply not have the scale required to perform the necessary investments. The determination of which level of digitization that can be achieved should be performed on a case to case basis. 04 Smart Ports | Introduction 05 Smart Ports | Need for Smart Ports is driven by industry challenges Need for Smart Ports is driven by industry challenges Ports operate within a supply demand model which is similar to the traditional T&L industry. On the supply side the Port Authority provides land for rent, services to clients as well as a regulatory framework. 06 Smart Ports | Need for Smart Ports is driven by industry challenges The demand side is comprised of “Smart ports are the both logistics supply (warehouses, NxtPort transport providers, terminal only ports that will operators) and demand (industrial survive.” The port of Antwerp focuses its sites, stowage companies, etc.) and strategy of operational is therefore vastly different from the improvement on NxtPort, an prof. dr.

  • Traxens Presents Solutions for Port Industry at Smart Ports Barcelona
    Traxens presents solutions for port industry at Smart Ports Barcelona Company develops bespoke IoT and big data offering to meet specific needs of port industry players and solve business challenges for both assets and cargo owners worldwide Smart Ports Barcelona takes place November 19-21 Marseille, France, November 13, 2019 – Traxens, a company providing high-value data and services for the supply chain industry, announces today that it will present its smart asset tracking solutions at the Smart Ports Barcelona event, Smart Ports, Piers of the Future, November 19 to 21. Its tailored Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions are specifically designed to meet the needs of the port industry by providing near real- time insight into the end-to-end global supply chain. Traxens’ solution provides comprehensive, precise and timely data on cargo, through tracking logistic assets in transit anywhere in the world. Traxens’ patented breakthrough Internet of Things (IoT) technology brings improved efficiency and security, greater transparency and enhanced asset utilization whilst opening up new opportunities for all actors involved in the global supply chain. With Traxens’ solutions, ports can improve their efficiency and the interoperability of the systems with a trusted third party. For example, the Cargo Community System (CCS) manages traceability within the port area, but it also needs to capture information in the hinterland, and, in general, during the pre- and post-shipment phases. This is made possible with the Traxens solution; its objective is to improve the real-time information and predictivity of the flow of goods, to streamline overall port operations. More specifically, for export, information gathered on pre- and post-carriage and on the activity in the hinterland can help determine the ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) at port gates.

    Available online at www.worldscientificnews.com WSN 144 (2020) 1-12 EISSN 2392-2192 Smart ports: ranking of Spanish port system Alberto Rodrigo González1, Nicoleta González-Cancelas2, Beatriz Molina Serrano3, Alberto Camarero Orive4 1-4Department of Transport Civil Engineering, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Profesor Aranguren, S/N, 28040 Madrid, Spain 1-4E-mail address: [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] ABSTRACT There is no doubt about the importance and impact of ports on our environment. The search for a mute smart, supported among other elements in the smart industry, makes ports look smart. The penetration of the concept in the Spanish port model makes it necessary to establish some indicators and some measurement indexes that allow categorizing the different ports according to their smart port component. It is concluded from the study that the ports of Valencia and Barcelona, predominantly container ports, are the ports that have a higher degree of smart ports. Keywords: smart port, indicator, Spanish port system, ranking, index 1. INTRODUCTION The search for efficiency, both social, environmental and economic, brings new value to the port sector beyond the large turnover it generates, but also in [1]. Due to the large number of port operations carried out daily, any improvement in the profitability of any aspect of the port sector will have a major impact on port planning and management. This is why the application of the Smart concept to this sector is particularly noteworthy, so that the term Smart ( Received 28 February 2020; Accepted 18 March 2020; Date of Publication 19 March 2020 ) World Scientific News 144 (2020) 1-12 Port [2] has emerged and is of great interest to today's ports, as it is considered the basis for their future development and survival.
