📢📢📢 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 🔛 Second High level training day in Venice, working within the framework of DIGITPORTS Project Interreg Italy-Croatia Yesterday, the afternoon advanced training session on the application of Digital Twins (DT) in port ecosystems continued with a panel of speakers providing important experiences and contributions based on practical cases. Matteo De Minicis explained how the integration of GIS with other digital tools can save time and effort, as well as optimize environmental sustainability. He pointed out how DT can improve construction site management, highlighting the potential use of drone products, GIS and BIM system, and so on. He also presented a detailed case study on the use of CAD2GIS technology. Monica Oliveira from Esri Portugal subtle that “geographic intelligence” is the basis of 80-90% of decision-making processes for port and maritime logistics management and gave a quick revision on the DT concept. She stated that “DT is a system that you need to have a vision to build” and emphasized GIS as the “foundation of DT”. Nuno Alves from Esri Portugal then discussed the use of the Nexus location intelligence platform at the Port of Sines, stressing its value as the common ground for a DT and providing insightful examples on its practical applications. Maria Grazia Socievole and Daniele Milazzo from CETENA S.p.A. - Centro per gli Studi di Tecnica Navale discussed the significant evolution of ship simulation over time, and highlighted the dynamic and interactive nature of simulation technologies today. DT enable the simulation, monitoring, and optimization of port operations in real-time, with human-in-the-loop integration to enhance efficiency, safety and sustainability. Ian K. emphasized the importance of bringing stakeholders together to share meaningful and open data, to communicate key topics to the public, and to build trust and advocacy with leadership ("Maps are stories to share"). He then explored the best practices in stakeholder engagement from the Port of London, the Port of Rotterdam, and the Immerse project. Leonida Bucci discussed the “DT way of communicating”, refering to DT as the vital component for internal communication. He claimed that the use of DT technologies can facilitate fast, accurate, and risk-managed collaborations among the Port’s stakeholders. Dražen Vrhovski provided some concluding remarks to the training session, emphasizing once again the value of DT as an integrative element. He then identified the typical challenges to be addressed and pointed out the way forward, emphasizing that the #DIGITPORTS project represents the beginning and a fundamental part of a journey that must be continued over time with determination, focus, coordination and resources for an increasingly efficient, transparent and green future of the entire Ports ecosystem.
