WHERE DO PORTS LAND ON THE INDUSTRY 4.0 MATURITY INDEX?

Industry 4.0 encompasses optimizing equipment, operations, workflows, and staff capabilities, while also operating in a safe and sustainable manner. To achieve these objectives, port operators must deploy a mix of hardware, software, and connectivity solutions that complement one another. But to maximize the benefits requires alignment between those with responsibility for delivering Information Technology (IT)-based solutions to the organization and those with responsibility for Operational Technology (OT) that supports use cases like digitizing workflows.

The focus of this whitepaper is an Industry 4.0 Matrix Index that ABI Research and Nokia created, highlighting the progress made by port operators with respect to the alignment of their investments in IT infrastructure and the deployment of use cases underpinned by digital technologies at their facilities.
