Digital shipping logistics requires rethinking how data is acquired, transformed, and analyzed.
Cisco customers such as the
Port of Rotterdam
and the
Hamburg Port Authority
have been focused on transforming their shipping and logistics operations to keep pace with ever growing demand.
A given port may process hundreds of thousands of ships every year. Coordinating the berthing of each vessel is a remarkably complex task that involves multiple parties and the collection and integration with thousands of data points.
Challenges include:

Challenges include:
- Secure authentication and management of Cisco gateways
- Application of intelligence at point of data generation to enable decisions at the edge
- Automated connectivity, deployment, and management of sensors
- Streamlined extraction, processing, and delivery of data
- Cloud analytics, data visualization, and insights
Collecting broad sets of streaming data using a robust infrastructure can enable organizations to derive real business value from IoT.
The combination of Cisco Kinetic, Cisco's industrial IoT routers/gateways, and partner-provided machine learning technologies, enables ports with everything they need for the digitization and transformation of modern shipping and logistics.
For example, collecting data on current and forecasted weather, visibility, height of tide and tidal stream, and other data enables the port to determine the optimal conditions and timing for a safe berth and passage of a ship. Additional value is added by helping the the port increase the capacity of individual ships based on clearance heights and other loading factors, which can dramatically increase the revenue generated by each ship entering the port.
