5G creating opportunities for LOGistics supply chain INNOVation

The emergence of 5G technology has increased efficiency in many sectors including city ports, resulting in business innovation, economic development and environmental benefits. The EU-funded 5G-LOGINNOV project will design an innovative scheme to integrate and validate CAD/CAM technologies related to the industry 4.0 and port domains, by creating new opportunities for logistics value chain innovation. The innovation is supported by 5G technological blocks, including a new generation of 5G terminals, new types of Internet of Things 5G instruments, data analytics, next-generation traffic management and emerging 5G networks allowing ports to manage upcoming and future capacity, traffic, efficiency and environmental challenges. The advanced capabilities of 5G in wireless connectivity and Core network agility will allow city ports to significantly optimise operations and reduce environmental impact on the city.
