San Antonio Terminal Internacional (STI) has begun deploying a digital twin system developed by NextPort AI. This new technology is intended to significantly enhance the terminal's operational visibility and improve the management of its equipment.
The digital twin creates a virtual replica of the physical terminal, allowing for real-time monitoring and simulation of operations. This provides a comprehensive overview of the terminal's activities, from vessel movements to cargo handling and equipment status.
For freight forwarders and logistics professionals, this implementation by STI could lead to more predictable and efficient cargo flows through the port. Improved equipment management and real-time operational insights may reduce vessel turnaround times and minimize delays, ultimately contributing to more reliable supply chains and potentially lower demurrage costs. Enhanced transparency could also provide better data for planning and forecasting shipment arrivals and departures at the port.
