DUBAI: Global trade enabler DP World is leading the advancement of
global logistics industry by harnessing modern-day disruptive
technologies. Through strategic network growth, acquisitions and
partnerships, DP World successfully established a world-leading
logistics infrastructure, diversifying its portfolio to better serve the
dynamic trade needs of its customers through the deployment of
next-generation technology and innovations that deliver safer, faster,
efficient, and more sustainable solutions.
DP World took part in this year’s Gitex (October 6-10), showcasing
three breakthrough innovations under the umbrella of the Ports, Customs
and Free Zone Corporation (PCFC) which features a mega stand themed
‘Gateway to Future Innovations’.
The displayed innovations highlight the company’s commitment to
enabling smarter trade by delivering first-in-class logistics solutions
and services to make a better future for everyone:
Box-Bay Storage
The technology is going to solve a decades-old problem by giving port
operators direct access to any sea container, overcoming the need to
“reshuffle” containers whenever one is needed. The expected result is
200 per cent more capacity than a conventional terminal. This is
two-and-a-half to three times more containers per hectare than all competitors can currently do.
The idea is to stack up to 11 shipping containers into vertical columns
— about three times the average height currently used — and house each
one in an individual compartment.
An automated system can then retrieve each without moving any others.
Inter Terminal Transfer of Container using External Trucks. The main
objective of this initiative is to reduce traffic congestion within
JAFZA / DP WORLD Terminals for container movement between T1, T2 and T3.
Twist lock Robot:
The “Twist lock Bot” is a robotic arm to remove/engage twist locks on
the container without human intervention. It can smartly handle
different types of locks of internal trucks. The advanced system offers
many great benefits, including increasing safety by removing workforce
from pinning station, enhancing productivity by reducing human activity
with the robotic arm, and 20% faster than humans performing the same
activity.
Block Chain
DP World’s Block Chain project is set to speed up automation of
operations through Block chain technology towards a more streamlined and
secure procedures. This supports Dubai’s Block Chain strategy.
DP World Group Chairman & CEO Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem,
said: “We have a vision to enable smarter trade for the benefit of
everyone around the world through innovation and data-driven logistics.”
“The pavilion will become a permanent feature of Expo 2020 Dubai’s
legacy at District 2020, reinforcing the emirate’s reputation as a
knowledge-based economy. It will benefit future generations for years to
come, long after the event has ended by introducing young minds to
career opportunities in logistics and trade coupled with insights into
their vital role in keeping the world moving.”
“Under the guidance of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al
Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of
Dubai, we are excited to play a major role in a new era of global
mobility and trade, while showcasing it to the world here in Dubai.”
