SUMMARY:Webinar on Smart Ports\, 16 September 2022
DESCRIPTION:Webinar on Smart Ports\, 16 September 2022\n\nWebinar registration is closed! \n \nRationale and Objectives \nWith the growing and changing demands of global trade\, many ports across the world are increasingly faced with more difficult challenges. These include infrastructure limitations (and the associated need for optimization)\, limited handling capacity\, and high OPEX\, as well as the challenge of complying with more stringent regulations\, man-power issues\, and aspects of sustainability. \nIt is commonly known that the adoption of ICT technologies in the port sector addresses many of these challenges. However\, the question arises as to how and when the sector can fully harness emerging ICT technologies to provide cost and time-effective management and monitoring solutions\, customized to meet the specific business requirements of ports while catering for the maritime environment and fully complying with evolving regulations. The question has been partially addressed by some ports that have recently taken steps toward the digital transformation of their processes\, based essentially on IoT\, cloud computing\, and renewable energy. \nThis event aims to highlight the experiences of some of these smart ports and the benefits achieved of such digitalization steps. Going beyond what has been achieved\, the event brings speakers from different contexts and locations in the world to discuss the Smart Port view on the evolution of paradigms and roadmaps toward new approaches based on emerging technological trends such as 5G and Beyond\, Big Data\, Artificial Intelligence\, and Digital Twins. The program will highlight the different approaches taken in very different ports and very different stakeholders\, and allow for a presentation of a very diverse set of views associated to the future of Smart Ports. \nOpening Rui Aguiar\,  Opening Wen Ku \n \nComments discussion 1\,  Comments discussion 2\,  Closing \nSee the webinar report here\n  \nSpeakers & Moderators: \nRui L Aguiar\, Chair of the Steering Board of the NetworldEurope European Technology Platform\, has been involved in research and strategic research management since 1988\, having been involved (in multiple positions) in all European-funded framework programs.   He was involved in the development of the NetworldEurope initiative\, and the launch of the 5G-Infrastructure Association PPP\, and has led the association before.
