Immersive 360: a new dimension in operational management

The digital twin creates a 3D model of all the terminal operator’s infrastructure and equipment: gantry cranes, straddle carriers, containers, trucks, ships, etc.
It provides comprehensive, real-time supervision of handling operations, enabling:

  • flows monitoring,
  • proactive equipment maintenance,
  • incident anticipation,
  • and optimized resource management.

Developed by GraphicStream, the system is based on the private professional 5G network deployed by HubOne - a subsidiary of Aéroport de Paris, and within the framework of its partnership with HAROPA PORT in the 5G Lab. This network guarantees reliable and ultra-fast connectivity across the 90-hectare container terminal without data loss.

A concrete demonstration of the power of digitalization in the service of handling operations.  

A port ecosystem in action

These awards reinforce the collective commitment of the players in the Le Havre industrial port area to a process of excellence and innovation. They testify to:

  • local industrial expertise,
  • close cooperation between public and private partners,
  • and HAROPA PORT’s innovation strategy, which supports and stimulates initiatives to make digital technology a key lever for performance and sustainability.
