PACECO POSEIDON, in partnership with 1MillionBot, has been selected by Ports 4.0 in its third call for proposals for its technological initiative to optimise port connectivity through the use of AI-powered voice-controlled container handling. The project ensures the technical requirements necessary to achieve TRL9 standard at the terminal’s communications infrastructure level and optimises the response of voice systems via AI to assist the operator in the container stowage process in real time.
This project represents a second step in its commercial phase, aimed at deployment in live operations, and addresses the connectivity requirements and communications improvements necessary for operator interaction via natural voice as an aid to container terminal operations. The award follows the successful completion of a previous pre-commercial phase, also funded by Puertos del Estado (Spanish Port System) through Ports 4.0.
The application of AI to terminal operations will have a positive impact on their management and automation, and will optimise the performance of port operations and the profitability of our ports.
