Monitor PRO (article): Port of the future: The digitization of the Port of Koper

The digitization of processes at the Port of Koper is not just the implementation of advanced technologies, but a transformation of business models for more efficient, transparent, reliable and safe port operations. In the May edition of Monitor PRO, we talked about our solutions in the context of the Luka DT project, 

You are welcome to keep reading!

March marked the end of the two-year LUKA.DT project, in which Luka Koper, in cooperation with other partners, developed advanced digital solutions and support systems to upgrade and improve key processes within the port. Particular attention was paid to training and strengthening the digital competencies of employees and cyber security. The €4.8 million project was co-funded with €2.1 million of European funding from the Recovery and Resilience Facility. The digitization of processes at the Port of Koper is not just the implementation of advanced technologies, but the transformation of business models to operate more efficiently, transparently, reliably, and securely. This will enable the port to withstand the demands of modern times and the logistics market and maintain its competitive edge over other ports in the area.

 

The project involved the introduction of advanced technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and real-time cargo/equipment monitoring systems (RTLS). This has resulted in improved traceability, accuracy, and efficiency of operations, which now allows for easier and better work planning, faster turnaround of transhipments, and increased productivity. The digitization of processes has also had a number of other positive effects: by reducing the number of unproductive cargo movements, fuel consumption, and environmental emissions have been reduced, thus meeting the energy efficiency objective of the Port of Koper, while the introduction of paperless operations in certain operations has reduced raw material consumption, optimized processes and generated operational savings.

 

Optimizing processes with advanced ACTUAL I.T. solutions

ACTUAL I.T. played a key role in the development of a new Warehouse Management System (WMS) - WMS MUTOS (Warehouse Management System - Multi-proposal TOS). The project was very challenging due to the need for a single platform covering all work processes for different groups, as work processes at the level of warehouses and commodity groups are very different from each other. The team was able to develop a parameterisable system that allows changes to existing workflows or the addition of new ones to be quickly adapted. The solution consists of two main applications: a Web WMS application, developed on modern web technologies and designed for office operations, terminal management, and external stakeholders, and a Handheld WMS application, developed for the Android operating system, designed for fieldwork. The MUTOS WMS system has enabled closer integration with the port and back office systems, offering real-time data exchange between all stakeholders. In addition, it manages the management of manipulations and damage at the level of the individual truck, the replacement of paper documents with electronic ones, and the real-time control of field operations from the office. This has made operations more efficient, transparent, and technologically advanced, also with the help of sophisticated 5G-enabled scanners.

As part of the project, ACTUAL I.T., together with project partner Solvesall, has also developed a predictive modeling algorithm to determine the type of transport for the container terminal. This predictive model determines which means of transport a container will use to leave the port, which was not possible before. Based on the parameters and data, the model calculates the probability of the means of transport at the exit with an accuracy of up to 90%. With this approach, the Port of Koper obtains valuable information for better planning and optimization of storage areas, unproductive movements are reduced (or eliminated altogether), and the dispatch of containers by land-based means is optimized. ACTUAL I.T. and project partner Igea has developed a vehicle unloading simulation model, or digital twin, which simulates how quickly vehicles are loaded from a ship onto a truck. This simulation has given the Port of Koper an additional competitive advantage, while at the same time improving workforce planning, optimizing loading areas, and reducing the dwell time of each truck at the Port of Koper. By implementing this solution, the port can accurately plan operations and optimize schedules, leading to increased efficiency and productivity.

The Luka DT project has also implemented a new interchange solution between railway operators and carriers called Luka Rail. Luka Rail allows for a more up-to-date exchange of data on train arrivals at the port, as well as data on the actual progress of operations over the wagons. This data will allow better utilisation of railway infrastructure, human and other resources. And the port itself and the port community will have information on the processes linked to the rail wagons virtually in real-time. The Luka Rail solution also provides a graphical display of track utilization, which brings greater visibility of operations and facilitates planning.

 

"We are satisfied with the solutions, as the feedback from end users has been positive, which was one of our most important objectives," said Boštjan Petelin, Business Solutions Director at ACTUAL I.T. "Digitising processes at the Port of Koper brings many benefits, including a lower environmental footprint, which is an important step towards a sustainable future for the port.
