AI PortLogistics on IDX: A New Dawn for Japan's Port Logistics Industry

In response to Japan's government initiatives in the realm of maritime strategy, AI Data Corporation has launched a cutting-edge integrated data platform named AI PortLogistics on IDX. This innovative solution targets the port and logistics sector, tapping into the burgeoning potential of generative AI.

Background: Tackling Structural Challenges in Port and Logistics

Japan boasts one of the world's highest cargo handling capacities, yet it is not without significant challenges. The industry faces systemic inefficiencies stemming from individual optimizations that hinder overall productivity. Key issues include fragmented operational processes within Terminal Operating Systems (TOS), Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), customs, and land transportation—exacerbated by a chronic labor shortage in loading and hauling.

The government prioritizes enhancing port productivity, especially for disaster recovery plans (BCP), highlighting the need for an efficient integrated platform. Major challenges have emerged in the port industry:

• - Individual optimization of operations has hindered real-time optimization.
• - Operational, logistics, and equipment data are dispersed, complicating their integrated utilization.
• - Increased ship stay times have weakened port competitiveness.
• - Disaster response relies heavily on individual judgment, delaying recovery plans.

Introducing AI PortLogistics on IDX

To remedy these issues, AI Data Corporation developed AI PortLogistics on IDX, an integrated data foundation aimed at bridging gaps in the port logistics sector.

Key Features of AI PortLogistics on IDX:

1. Integrated IDX Foundation for Port and Logistics Data
This platform consolidates data across ports, ships, land transport, storage, and customs, enabling cross-sector data collaboration, analysis, and optimization.

2. Operational Optimization Support via AI
- Minimizes ship stay times through berth and loading optimizations.
- Optimizes yard and gate operations for streamlined container arrangements and visitor traffic.
- Reduces delays and waiting times with optimized trucking operations.
- Employs AI for predictive maintenance of port equipment, highlighting wear and potential failures.

3. Enhanced Disaster and BCP Preparedness
- The platform can automatically generate disaster scenarios and immediate recovery plans.
- Historical disaster data is analyzed to suggest best practices.
- Proposes alternative routes based on past damage reports and facilitates collaboration with relevant agencies.

4. Port PMO Advisory Functionality
- Provides scientific support for investment decisions, reorganization strategies, and hub port strategies based on KPIs.
- Transitions from investment approaches based on experience to data-driven policy development.

Use Cases

• - Terminal operators can enhance operational efficiency and reduce ship stay times.
• - Port authorities receive support for investment planning and policy formulation.
• - Shipping companies can optimize their routing and logistics strategies.
• - Land transport and storage providers can improve operation efficiency and inventory management.

Future Outlook

AI Data Corporation is committed to transforming Japan’s ports from merely logistical hubs into essential infrastructures that bolster national competitiveness, safety, and industrial growth.
Future initiatives include:

• - Deployment of Proofs of Concept (PoC) across major ports and building integrated data foundations.
• - Full-scale rollout of disaster BCP, predictive maintenance AI, and PMO advisory functionalities.
• - International collaboration with ports in ASEAN and Europe.
• - Establishment of a standard OS for port operations, investments, and BCP.

With these steps, AI Data Company aims to reinforce the competitive edge of Japan's port and logistics industry.
