Project for the development and the application of new technologies in the port of Livorno



Cloud of Ports (COP), that is "System of monitoring and control of the activities of industrial logistics for the cluster of the Tuscan Ports" is the name of the project that is candidated to the ban To make Fas 2014 instituted from the Tuscany Region in order to favor, in full tuning with according to "pillar" of the program the European picture on the search and innovation (2014-2020) - Horizon 2020, the collaboration between enterprises and a system of the search for the elaboration of studies that answer to the requirements of innovation and competitiveness.

Front man of COP is the terminalista society Terminal Dock Tuscany (TDT) of Livorno. Two organisms of search will take part of the team also: the National Consortium Interuniversitario for telecommunications (CNIT), that university Italian active in the general area of the INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY groups 37, and Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nuclear, section of Pisa (INFN). To hold the row, the Harbour Authority of Livorno, whose role has been fundamental in the phase of elaboration and start up of the project.

The objective is to obtain deep for five million euro with the scope to use them in order to finance a project thanks to which to install in the port of Livorno, and in particular in the Terminal Tuscany Dock, sensors you mail on the large squares for the environmental survey (particulate matter, end/ultra fine and relative qualities air); detectors of radioactivity of the container; smart cam, photonic radars and devices of carrier language communication to support of the Safety and the productive efficiency.

"We are convinced - he has explained in charge of search to the CNIT and the coordinator of the project Cloud of Ports, Paolo Pagano - than Cloud of Ports has requirement for being approved of from the Tuscany Region. The objective is to supply to the harbour truth an optimal cue for the innovation of the processes. COP aimed at the realization of a center of services and control for the cluster of the Tuscan ports and is a fundamental dowel of that great mosaic that is the strategic development plan for the INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY, promoted from the Harbour Authority of Livorno in all the international and local centers".

"A serious planning cannot be made on the transports - it has found the president of the Leighorn Harbour Authority, Giuliano Gallanti - without to reason of the technological innovation. Whoever believes that with the single doubling of infrastructures to dock occupation can be produced, mistakes. Mere logic of the great works is not sufficient, is necessary to acquire the knowledge that only massive doses of innovation can produce productivity increments and velocizzare the operating processes inside a terminal".
