Khalifa Port Container Terminal is handled and run by Abu Dhabi Terminals.
Abu Dhabi Terminals has signed a partnership agreement with Microsoft Corporation to improve the container tracking and autonomous shuttle capabilities at its Khalifa Port Container Terminal (KPCT).
The partnership has been formed under the upcoming phase of digital development of Abu Dhabi’s Khalifa Port.
Microsoft’s Azure Cloud will be installed at the port for enhancing the artificial intelligence (AI) services.
This Cloud technology will be installed in collaboration with Microsoft Consulting Services.
Microsoft’s Azure Cloud will facilitate the launch of AI-focused container smart tracking solutions that will be able to trace all handled containers completely.
This technology will also help in the potential launch of an autonomous vehicle system.
Microsoft Europe, Middle East and Africa president Ralph Haupter said: “With its ongoing commitment to the adoption of new technologies, the UAE is reimagining the world of global shipping and logistics to ensure it is robust, resilient and future-ready.
“This collaboration ushers in a new era for autonomous vehicles in a terminal environment, and I’m excited to see Microsoft’s Cloud, artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technologies contribute to its success.”
