Modernizing Our Ports and Logistics Sector with 5G and Edge Computing
The Port & Logistics Lab is focused on scouting, testing and deploying innovative solutions discovered through our startup ecosystem, and applying those technologies to industry-specific challenges faced by seaports, shippers, manufacturers and logistics enterprises.
Lingering effects of the pandemic such as labor shortages and port holdups continue to impact the global supply chain. Edge computing advancements can free up resources, decrease reliance on human management, and increase latency for time-sensitive processes.
