Second Panel Discussion: Expert Opinions
The first to join the dynamic was José Ramón Iribarren , CEO of SIPORT21, who began by analyzing the Industry 4.0 concept and how it relates to smart ports, emphasizing the importance of understanding and applying intelligence to problem solving.
” The intelligent ones are not the ports, the intelligent ones are the people with whom we are going to work in all this environment “
He also delved into the objectives and characteristics of smart ports at an international level, highlighting five key aspects: connectivity, security, operational efficiency, resource efficiency and sustainability.
The expert also highlighted the importance of adopting a predictive and prescriptive approach to understand the phenomena that occur in the terminals in order to make informed decisions.
For his part, Gonzalo Mera Truffini, executive manager for the Americas of MIS MARINE and an expert in technology applied to maritime insurance, shared his perspective on the subject under discussion and first of all highlighted the importance of efficiency in terminals to maximize utilization and minimize interruptions.
In the same way, he mentioned four key pillars in industry 4.0 applied to the marine guarantee: collaboration, real-time monitoring, effective response and use of data, making known the tools and processes involved in the verification, planning, programming and recovery of data in terminal operations.
He also stressed the importance of combining technology with human intelligence to interpret data in accordance with the interests, philosophy, expectations and objectives of the company, without neglecting the need for people who understand the interests of the organization apply intelligence to systematically improve terminal capabilities.
