In the video you will see how Nortal’s Smart Port leverages advanced technology to streamline port operations.
From the moment vehicles approach, automated systems gather critical data like license plates, 3D measurements, and vehicle details to personalize entry and queue management. Check-in is fast and efficient, with automated or self-service options guiding vehicles seamlessly through pre-security and marshalling areas.
Security is enhanced with real-time data, random check algorithms, and automatic lane adjustments. For freight, trailer identification and high-quality video ensure transparency, while personalized directions and digital oversight manage the marshalling process. The loading and unloading of vehicles are tracked digitally, providing real-time updates to staff and passengers.
Automated gates and exit controls, supported by license plate recognition and customs checks, ensure smooth and secure departures, while advanced damage control systems protect against claims. Smart Port transforms port operations into an efficient, secure, and data-driven ecosystem.
