Overview of the Port, current and future challenges

and what the Port is doing to address those challenges

including Port Optimizer

Port Optimizer is a cloud-based software solution that enhances the supply chain performance and predictability by delivering real time data-driven insights through a single portal to partners across the supply chain. Integrating data from across the port ecosystem, combining machine learning and deep domain expertise, it helps the supply chain monitor and respond to dynamic conditions, align people and resources, and proactively communicate across functions  - enabling maximum port throughput and delivery performance.

  • Increased Visibility – 14 days of advance visibility of your cargo
  • Predictability – Machine learning and other analytics drive predictive performance
  • Throughput – Facilitates immediate throughput improvements.
  • Productivity – 8-12% projected productivity increases

A demonstration of the Port Optimizer will be provided by Brian Hill of GE Transportation.
