Senior ports subject matter expert Jose Garcia de la Guia represented NextPort during the kick-off of the SAFARI Ports project in Lille the week of June 17th.

SAFARI, a €6.2 million initiative focused on developing safe and climate-resilient infrastructure, is funded by the European Commission under the Horizon Europe program. It brings together 24 organizations from nine countries, including France, Spain, Greece, Finland, Norway, Belgium, Portugal, Lebanon, and Italy.

Many ports and terminals are being challenged by extreme weather events that threaten their business continuity - next generation decision-making tools will provide predictive and prescriptive capabilities. Together with the project partners, NextPort will deploy our DigitalTwin product that will enhance operational resilience in the Ports of Seville, Dunkirk and Lisbon.

Dr. Oscar Pernia moderated a discussion on automation and artificial intelligence, providing insights into the challenges and opportunities of integrating these technologies within control rooms, augmenting human intelligence. 

Additionally, he delivered a keynote presentation unveiling the TIC 4.0 committee’s terminal automation whitepaper, emphasizing the importance of digital standards and interoperability of systems for broader and easier adoption across our Industry.

Fernando Marti-Belda Rosello's panel explored the utilization of big data and analytics to optimize terminal efficiency. Today’s insights provide an innovative but practical data practice and domain expertise to leverage digital efforts toward tangible optimization and predictive capabilities.

Thank you Port Technology International - PTI for organizing this event!

We are proud to make a meaningful contribution to Terminal Industry Committee 4.0 - TIC4.0 with the whitepaper publication on automation via Dr. Oscar Pernia, which will be presented at the upcoming CTAC conference hosted by Port Technology International - PTI.

With this whitepaper as a starting point, TIC4.0 aims to propel terminal automation to the next level via standardization and interoperability. 

Conceiving digitalization as a pre-requisite, TIC4.0 establishes some guidelines in the industry to ease automation and facilitate associated system Integration: establishing a pre-defined data and interfaces core to ensure technology solutions will function properly.

The Container Terminal Automation Conference begins this week, offering a wealth of opportunities for networking and learning. NextPort's Project Manager, Fernando Marti-Belda Rosello, will participate in a panel discussion on the importance of big data in utilizing new technologies such as artificial intelligence, IoT, and digital twins. Swing by our booth to discuss how data gathering enables terminals to gain clear operational insights.
