15. April 2024 |

We are thrilled to announce a dynamic partnership between EUROGATE Group and Prodevelop, marking a pivotal moment in our journey towards revolutionising container terminal operations. Prodevelop’s expertise in IoT and Big Data projects has proven invaluable, earning them a prominent role as our services partner for the implementation of the Digital TwinSim solution at EUROGATE Container Terminal Hamburg.

During Stage I of the Digital TwinSim project, Prodevelop collaborated closely with all partners, demonstrating remarkable flexibility and delivering exceptional results. Their pivotal role in this initial phase solidified their position as a key contributor to the project’s success.

Together with our esteemed partners, akquinet port consulting and the University of Hamburg, we are embarking on an ambitious endeavour to develop a digital twin of processes and equipment, reshaping the landscape of operations and maintenance in Hamburg. Adopting TIC 4.0 standards throughout, we aim to seamlessly integrate terminal equipment into a unified view, optimising operations for enhanced efficiency and productivity.

Patrick Jandt, Head of IT at EUROGATE, expressed excitement about the partnership, stating, “As we approach the key stage of the TwinSim project, leveraging big data to visualise current operations in real-time and predict future scenarios, our collaboration with Prodevelop stands as a cornerstone in our digital transformation journey.”

Miguel Montesinos, CEO of Prodevelop, echoed this sentiment stating, “This collaboration with EUROGATE on the Digital TwinSim project marks a milestone in our mission to drive the digitalisation of port operations and the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies in the container handling sector. We are committed to contributing to the continued success of this project.”

Prodevelop’s pivotal role in the success of this project cannot be overstated. Their establishment of a Data Lake and innovative processes to integrate IoT data from the physical layer with Terminal Operating System (TOS) systems has been instrumental in our pursuit of innovation and excellence in the Industry 4.0 era.

Join us as we embark on this transformative journey, shaping the future of container terminal operations and advancing towards a more efficient, sustainable, and technology-driven industry.
