Smart Port Cargo Tracking System

Digitalized cargo handling operations for a major port facility, reducing dwell time by 25% and achieving 100% cargo visibility.

The Challenge

A busy container port was struggling with manual cargo tracking processes that led to inefficiencies, delays, and occasional container misplacements. With thousands of containers moving through daily, maintaining accurate real-time inventory was nearly impossible.

Long cargo dwell times were impacting port throughput and customer satisfaction, while security concerns arose from limited visibility into container movements and locations.

Key Pain Points

  • Manual tracking leading to delays and errors
  • Excessive cargo dwell time impacting throughput
  • Occasional container misplacements causing delays
  • Limited security and compliance visibility

Our Solution

RFID & IoT Infrastructure

Deployed RFID tags and IoT sensors throughout the port to automatically track container movements and locations.

Real-Time Visibility Platform

Built unified dashboard providing instant visibility into all cargo locations, status, and handling progress.

Automated Workflows

Created digital workflows to optimize cargo handling sequences and automatically alert teams of bottlenecks.
