With a blend of industry specialists and strategic thinkers, we navigate complex challenges with precision and insight. We work to deliver impactful results that enhance efficiency, sustainability, and growth in the port areas.
Explaining the results of AI is difficult. This research interviews experts in the domain of inland shipping and researchers current barriers for AI implementations.
An extensive field study was conducted so classify AI software and their responsible use in ports.
Catalyzer Project: AI in customs
Investigation of architecture and use cases of ChatBots to support port’s customs procedures.
Catalyzer Project: Disruptions in Hinterland Transports
Disruptions in ports influence hinterland transports. By applying AI technologies this project is able to learn disruptions to better steer transportation processes.
Students Port Challenge
24h workshop with students from different professions to develop new ideas for the port’s future.
NWO project Perspectief
European seaports must be carbon neutral by 2050. The PortCall.Zero solutions will help save a yearly estimate of 150 million tons of emissions related to waiting ships and contribute to future-ready port revenues.
Innovation project for a port
The goal of the project was to provide a port with greater insight into how technology, particularly artificial intelligence, data, and digitalization, can support the strategic challenges faced by the port authority.
