Oscar Pernia, co-founder and CTO of NextPort.AI, has synthesized the main conclusions from the panels held at the Container Terminal Automation Conference (CTAC), organized by Port Technology International (PTI) in Valencia, and at the Terminal Operations Conference (TOC Europe) in Hamburg. Representatives from CMA CGM, APM Terminals, ATAI, Navis-Kaleris, and EuroGate participated in both forums. The focus of both events was the same concept: the Data Backbone, the data backbone that the industry needs as an enabler of automation and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

Pernia describes a recurring diagnosis in these meetings: data at container terminals remains fragmented across multiple systems \u2014 equipment handling events (CHE), work instructions, maintenance logs \u2014 each in its own database and with its own interpretation of the associated information. This fragmentation constitutes, according to the panelists, the main obstacle to deploying automation and artificial intelligence solutions that work effectively.<\/p>\n

The author points out that data is a prerequisite for automation, from the necessary digital harmonization of processes and systems, but also one of its most transformative results: automation turns operations into a traceable and recorded backbone from which terminal operators can control, predict, and optimize their business processes.<\/p>\n

Regarding the general state of the sector, Pernia observes that the conversation is progressing: there are more mature and productized process automation solutions, the automation of equipment is becoming more applicable with the emerging focus on autonomous trucks that are being productized, and advances are being recorded in equipment control systems and supporting IoT solutions. However, despite the progress of the Terminal Industry Committee 4.0 (TIC4.0), with new relevant publications and a general alignment around frameworks such as ISA-95, standardization and interoperability remain “in their infancy,” according to his…<\/p>\n
