Optimize safety, efficiency, and resource management with an Enterprise Private Mobile Network – powered by Expeto.
The modern commercial shipping port is a highly active work center that demands coordination and efficiency under strict time restraints. Port Operators feel pressure to boost efficiency throughout terminal operations by optimizing manned operations and increasing automation for their berth, yard, rail, and road traffic.
At all hours, regardless of weather conditions, workers conduct manually demanding operations in hazardous environments with autonomous cranes and vehicles, all in close proximity.
Safety cannot be compromised by poor network performance or coverage. Modern operations also include “smart port” technology such as video streaming, AR applications, and “reefer monitoring” which provides real-time feedback on refrigerated assets. Massive machine-type communications (mMTC) are required to handle the heavy volume of sensors needed to collect safety data from ships, such as carbon monoxide emission levels.
Secure, resilient LTE/5G enables ports to connect more sensors, autonomous transport & cranes, location sensors, traffic management relays, and people through a single network to provide better visibility into day-to-day port operations — including traffic management, loading & unloading, surveillance, and safety compliance.
That is why Port Operators are turning to Expeto’s Enterprise Mobile Network (EMN). An EMN is as easy to get up and running as traditional Wi-Fi and much more affordable. Additionally, it provides the essential real-time latency, high bandwidth, and high device density needed to scale to the thousands of devices and data points required for the modern smart port.
An Expeto-powered EMN is different because it allows organizations to develop and support their own wireless networks on their own terms – open to any G, any RAN, any cloud – whether needed remote, on-premises, or at the edge. These networks become an extension of the corporate WAN, and enterprise security policy remains unchanged so they retain full control of their own data and devices.
Increase Efficiency of Port Operations
Port Operators can deploy workflow automation and improved monitoring of containers while reducing ship emissions and leveraging predictive maintenance on cranes and autonomous equipment to reduce downtime. New technologies like Augmented Reality (AR) and video streaming can be introduced and leveraged to support remote maintenance activities.
Reduce Logistics Costs
Sensor technology allows control of port traffic lights and railway switches to improve guiding port traffic. This reduces congestion and transport delays.
Increase Security, Worker Safety & Productivity
Real-time worker safety and fatigue monitoring reduces alarms and allows safer interaction with autonomous cranes and vehicles in high-activity areas. Expeto also provides support for geofencing as well as the ability to control locks, water gates, beacons, fairway buoys, or lighthouses.
