The 4th Industrial Revolution in Ports - How the Terminal Industry is Setting the Standards

On-Demand
Duration: 90 minutes

Ports & Terminals have always been under the utmost scrutiny to deliver effective and efficient operations for its customers and this continues in the present day against the backdrop of ongoing industrial digitalisation – or the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

This isn’t about one huge technological breakthrough but harnessing the plethora of technologies out there such as ‘Big Data’, the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), automation and blockchain which will fundamentally shift how the industry interacts with its surroundings whilst improving both performance and competitiveness whilst increasing safety of operations and reducing its environmental impact.

But to truly take advantage of this 4th Industrial Revolution now requires a rapid development and adoption of commonly agreed industry standards and language for the cargo handling industry.

This webinar will bring together key stakeholders of the Terminal Industry Committee 4.0 (TIC 4.0) initiative, which has brought together both the Terminal Operators and Port Equipment Manufacturers and Suppliers to collectively work on the elaboration of such language standardisation and in 2021, will be publishing its initial work.

Key Talking Points:

• An introduction to the Terminal Industry Committee 4.0 (TIC 4.0)
• Why is TIC 4.0 needed today?
• The important quest for industry standards – challenges & opportunities?
• TIC 4.0 and the potential for industry collaboration?
• With technology advancing rapidly, will standards have to change again in the future?
