Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in Ports

Dr. Yvo Saanen, Commercial Director and Founder of TBA — an industry-leading consultancy, simulation and software specialist for ports, terminals and warehouses, explains how the quality of data in the shipping industry will hinder its adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.

AI has the potential to revolutionize the performance of terminal operating systems (TOS), intelligent modules and machines, but Dr. Saanen has found that a lack of “solid information” across the entire supply chain will hinder its development.

Dr. Saanen explains that AI will be able to make the movement of port equipment such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and cranes more efficient as technology becomes “less sensitive” to disturbances due to AI removing the need for a continuous feed of instructions.
