The Port of Huelva takes a new step towards a smarter, more connected and more efficient port model with the implementation of a new Port Services Management Platform, developed on the technology of AMURA Smartport Ecosystem Solutions.
The project, awarded to Híades Business Patterns S.L. by the Port Authority of Huelva, represents a significant advance in the digitalisation of port operations and aims to improve the coordination, exchange of information and efficiency of services linked to maritime traffic.
The initiative will allow the Port of Huelva move towards a more integrated management of its operations, facilitating communication and coordination between the different actors that are part of its port ecosystem: maritime services, customs, transport and logistics companies, concessionaires and technical-nautical operators.
AMURA, technology for a more connected Port of Huelva
The solution is integrated into the technology ecosystem AMURA, developed to respond to the digitization needs of Port Authorities, Maritime and Port Traffic Control Centres and nautical technical operators.
In the case of the Port of Huelva, the platform will allow centralize and manage information in real time, facilitating a more complete view of operations and improving the coordination capacity between the different port agents.
The solution is based on a technological architecture Powered by FIWARE, using Orion Context Broker as a main component and following the standard NGSI for the bidirectional integration of contextual information from third parties. It also provides a REST API and uses Smart Data Models, promoting interoperability and data exchange.
This architecture will allow the Port of Huelva to have a platform prepared for the Real-time monitoring, process automation, resource optimization and more efficient management of port data.
A digital ecosystem at the service of port efficiency
The implementation of this platform is part of the strategy of the Port of Huelva to strengthen its position as one of the main port and logistics nodes, especially in areas such as bulk transport and intermodal logistics.
The project also includes the participation of NextPort, which will provide machine learning and optimization capabilities, strengthening the possibilities for analysis and improvement of port operations.
The implementation began in September 2023 and is planned to take place during the 30 months, with the aim of generating substantial improvements in the operational efficiency of the Port of Huelva.
In addition, the initiative is part of the Sustainable and Digital Transport Support Programme, within the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR) and financed by the Recovery and Resilience Mechanism (RRM) of the funds NextGenerationEU.
With this project, the Port of Huelva continues to move towards a model of Smart Port, where digitalization, interoperability and the intelligent use of data become key elements to improve the efficiency, coordination and competitiveness of their operations.
AMURA the technological ecosystem that accompanies this transformation is thus consolidated, providing the Port of Huelva with digital tools aimed at building port management More connected, smarter and more efficient.
