Recently, the Port Authority of Rotterdam (PoRA) of the Netherlands and IBM announced that they will cooperate on digital initiatives for many years and use IoT technology to change the operating environment of the port and benefit port and port users. Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands is using IoT sensing technology for efficient port operation It is understood that the plan will also prepare "connected" vessels for the entire 42-kilometer port of Rotterdam, and even ship its own ships in the future. It begins with the development of a centralized dashboard application that will collect and process real-time hydrologic, meteorological sensor data, and communications data that are analyzed through the IBM IoT platform. PoRA said that this will enable the port to achieve safer, more efficient traffic management. Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands is using IoT sensing technology for efficient port operation Rotterdam handles more than 461 million tons of cargo and more than 140,000 ships each year. Previously relying on traditional radio and radar communications, captains, pilots, terminal operators, tugboats, and more people made key decisions in port operations. Now that the port of Rotterdam is undergoing a digital transformation, sensors are being installed along the pier's walls, mooring posts and roads from the city of Rotterdam to the North Sea's 42 km of land and sea. These sensors will collect multiple data streams, including water (water) and weather (weather) data on tides and currents, temperature, wind speed and wind direction, water level, berth availability and visibility. Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands is using IoT sensing technology for efficient port operation It is understood that this data will be analyzed through IBM cloud-based IoT technology and translated into information that Rotterdam Port can use to make decisions to reduce waiting time, determine the best time to dock, load and unload ships, and make more Ship available space. For example, the port of Rotterdam can now predict the best time based on the water level so that ships can arrive at Rotterdam and leave Rotterdam to ensure that the maximum amount of cargo is loaded on board. With this new initiative, operators in the Port of Rotterdam can also view all the different parties' businesses at the same time, making this process more efficient. In fact, shipping companies and ports can save up to one hour in berth time, saving about $80,000. The digital transformation project of the Port of Rotterdam is implemented by IBM's cloud-based IoT technology and will see that Port of Rotterdam and IBM are working together for a long time to discover other innovative applications of the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence. Paul Smits, chief financial officer of the Rotterdam Port Authority, commented that the Port of Rotterdam is taking action to make it the smartest port in the world.
