Ports and terminals have always been under the utmost scrutiny to deliver effective andefficient operations for its customers and this continues in the present day against the backdrop of ongoing industrial digitalization – or the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
One key aspect necessary for the optimal implementation of automation, digitalisation and decarbonisation initiatives is standardisation. Present standards are not harmonized across the sector, which slows down overall industry development.
In order to truly capitalize on this 4th Industrial Revolution, rapid development and adoption of both commonly agreed industry standards and cargo handling language is required.
There are now several organisations working on initiatives driving this quest for standardisation and searching for a common language to be used. Again, this relies upon collaboration from the many verticals within the industry.
