Smart Ports
Ports are essential components of global supply chains, connecting producers and consumers worldwide. Smart ports play a crucial role in facilitating international trade, generating employment, and driving economic growth. However, various factors influence the efficiency and competitiveness of a port, including the levels of integration and collaboration among different actors in the port logistics chain. Following the principles of other leading sectors such as the automotive industry, ports have been undergoing significant digital transformation for decades, integrating real-time operational data and information systems. This drives port competitiveness by enabling agile and shared decisions resulting in greater reliability and flexibility for importers and exporters.
At IDOM, we specialize in designing innovative systems and solutions that facilitate this digital integration in the complex port ecosystem. Our approach focuses on achieving efficient management of port operations and processes while reconciling these solutions with environmental management practices and energy efficiency.
To achieve these objectives, leveraging extensive experience in the port sector, we combine comprehensive knowledge of port logistics processes with industry-specific standards (EDIFACT, XML, etc.) and advanced technological solutions (AI, ML, IoT, etc.). Faced with any challenge, IDOM's specialized team offers customized and quality solutions, helping ports achieve a more efficient, sustainable, and connected future.
Our services tackle the challenges inherent to digital transformation projects in the port sector, with extensive experience in the reengineering of port-logistic processes, as well as the preliminary design of complex systems. At IDOM we cover the entire project cycle, from the feasibility study to the design and implementation of systems. Furthermore, as solution integrators, we can also give continuity to the entire project implementation cycle through a Project Management Office (PMO) to ensure success in terms of quality, deadlines, scope and costs.
- Port Community System (PCS): Port one-stop-shops that improve coordination and intelligent information exchange among all port community stakeholders, promoting efficient resource management and greater transparency in operations.
- Port Management System (PMS): Port management systems that integrate and unify disparate port authority systems and processes into a single platform, facilitating the collection and analysis of port operations information.
- Maritime and Customs Single Windows:Digital platforms that integrate and simplify the procedures and processes related to maritime and customs operations, centralizing the information and documentation submitted by economic operators to the various authorities involved in foreign trade, avoiding duplication and facilitating administrative processing.
- Innovation: Management and coordination of innovation projects in the port logistics environment, addressing organizational and functional challenges. From strategic advice to the creation of customized digital innovation hubs, we accompany the design, implementation and certification of projects based on cutting-edge digital transformation tools and smart port solutions.
- GIS / Digital Twin: Integration of data from physical objects and processes, both real-time and historical, on which advanced predictive technologies can be applied to optimize operations in the port environment with the approach of informed and intelligent decision making. All based on geospatial technologies and IoT as key enablers.
- Automated Gate Systems: Automation and control systems to optimize the management of the entry and exit of trucks, goods and people in port terminals, increasing safety and operational efficiency.
