Our port took part at the 2019 edition of the Smart Ports Summit conference in Barcelona between the 19th and 21st November last. The event coincided with the Smart City Expo World Congress and aimed to disclose how ports could bring in new business, adjust to fresh global demands and even see a jump in sales by introducing new digitalised systems.
Conference participants analysed the way to automate port processes, standardise data streams and help improve transparency levels to streamline the supply chain. Against this thematic backdrop, by Mr. Francisco De los Santos APBAs CIO presented APBAs digital innovation road-map, along with our array of up-and-running initiatives and projects that we expect will make the Port of Algeciras Bay a Next Generation Port, seamless, autonomous and intelligent.
Various speakers presented projects along a similar line: innovation projects focusing on several areas such as the environment, social and financial sustainability, and others relating to automation and smart data systems; all aspects that can enable Port Authorities to strengthen their market positions looking forwards.
Finally, a spotlight was shone on new enterprising strategies and business models, smart ops and the use of Big Data in presentations concerning case studies based on Blockchain and cyber-attacks.
