Port of Esbjerg will receive a cohesive, end-to-end internet of things (IoT) solution from Atos.
Based on data analytics, the technology features of this solution will include built-in AI elements, such as neural networks and machine learning.
The solution will integrate all cargo requests into one digital analytical platform through AI-based intelligent selection.
It will also calculate the carbon footprint for different transportation modes. This will help the harbour to serve as an effective central logistic location, where sea, rail and truck logistic companies can be proactive in their decarbonisation strategies.
