Abstract
Port container terminals with their logistic infrastructure are essential nodes for a functional economic activity in the developed world. Hence, innovation in efficiency of the port-container industry is a fundamental issue. This paper presents a Next Generation IoT architecture inspired by the merging of commercial terminal-oriented ICT solutions with the results of H2020 research. The architecture is designed to overcome the constraints and meet requirements of a real scenario in maritime ports where different Container Handling Equipment must share heterogeneous data in a decentralized way, leveraging edge computing. This allows for their easier cooperation and avoiding unproductive movements and central communication, while reducing communication latency related to terminal operations. The paper describes a usage example, accompanied with evidence of the first stages of deployment.
