DP World has roped in Container analytics company ConexBird to undertake a proof-of-concept (POC) project at Jebel Ali Port (Dubai).
ConexBird has developed a solution to measure the physical condition of containers as they are lifted by container cranes.
This includes real-time tuning tests of each container during handling, with raw measurements processed by machine learning software.
In fact, the different types of information obtained through the ConexBird system make it possible to address many of the information gaps and deficiencies affecting today’s supply chains.
ConexBird measurement equipment will be installed and operated on three ship-to-shore cranes operating at Jebel Ali. The data obtained will be analysed and commercialised.
“With our container condition insight, ConexBird’s goal is to help ports create new added value for themselves, for shipping lines and for other intermodal stakeholders, in order to make container shipping as smart, safe and sustainable as possible: we see in DP World an innovative, forward-thinking partner alongside whom this vision can become reality,” commented Teuvo Heikkilä, CEO of ConexBird.
