All of these capabilities are key to the success of the port and terminal digitization process, which is dependent on a network infrastructure that is secure, scalable, reliable, and resilient.
Industrial networks at ports and terminals require better-integrated Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) security and safety to enable greater visibility into the system and assets, protect the network from cyberattacks, and provide a faster response when incidents and issues happen. The workforce productivity at both ports and terminals can be improved with extended Wi-Fi access and more effective collaboration tools. In addition, truck and rail turn time can be improved through real-time traffic monitoring and integration with Terminal Operating Systems (TOS).
Port operators can leverage new Internet of Things (IoT) technology to provide better environmental monitoring such as tidal and weather conditions, salinity, and water levels so that ships’ arrival times can be better planned with real-time information on berth availability. To achieve the business objectives presented in Figure 1, terminal operators and machine builders take advantage of increasingly advanced technology to automate their terminal operations remotely control machines such as quay cranes/Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes, Rubber-Tired Gantry (RTG) cranes, and/or automated straddle carriers (AutoSC) in real time gain visibility into high-value assets increase asset utilization, berth availability, and occupancy patterns reduce network and application downtime optimize maintenance and reduce operational costs. Terminal and port operators are constantly looking for the best solutions to improve productivity and increase throughput, while at the same time reducing costs and enhancing safety and security.
