Mitsubishi Logisnext Co., Ltd. has delivered a new smart container terminal gate at the Port of Osaka utilizing 5G, digital technologies and artificial intelligence (AI).
As stated, the gate system in the Yumeshima Container Terminal (DICT) uses a 5G handheld terminals that can be operated in conjunction with computers in the administrative office to confirm the information on the containers arriving and leaving the terminal, and the trailers to transport them.
Specifically, the system aims to reduce workloads and shorten working time with automatic inputting of image data using handheld terminals and an AI (artificial intelligence) identification system using two overhead cameras installed at the gate.
In addition, for the operation of the system, client-specific applications that previously needed to be installed on a computer have been adapted for browsers, enhancing operability and compatibility, and allowing for greater flexibility when modifying applications or updating the system in the future.
Further, the vehicle information obtained through this system is linked to the new CONPAS port information system and will contribute to alleviating traffic congestion around the adjacent Expo2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan venue, Mitsubishi states.
The new container terminal gate was selected for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism’s “2024 Osaka Port Yumeshima Container Terminal CT Gate Advanced Project” and began operation in February 2025, along with the existing gate facilities that had undergone system upgrades.
