Enabling sustainable growth in ports with 5G
In partnership with TIM, Authority Port of Livorno, CNIT, FEEM, Italy
Imagine a smart shipping container that knows its own contents to a tee – and can communicate autonomously with surrounding units to find the most efficient route to its destination. By tapping into the flexibility and performance of 5G, the Port of Livorno in Italy is bringing all that to life – and more.
Challenge
There is a need to increase efficiency, productivity and sustainability in European ports’ operations.
Solution
Ericsson is deploying and piloting 5G and enhanced Augmented Reality (AR) use cases in the port of Livorno. Utilizing 5G connectivity, the project developed a model which allowed for optimized vessel berthing.
Impact
The project resulted in significant cost reduction, (EUR 2.5 m), increased productivity and reduction in CO2 by 8.2% per container terminal.
