PROJECT SUMMARY |
Ports are a great example of heterogeneous information hubs. Multiple stakeholders operate inside and outside them with different motivations and businesses. Although document and data interchange is already in place through Port Community Systems (PCS), the interchange is limited to official documentation and services of the Port Authority, such as custom declarations, import/export of cargo, and other formal documents. However, an effective integration of operational data is far from optimal in most ports, and especially so in medium or small ports, where budget is limited and IT services usually is outsourced.
In contrast, the available operational data (resources tracking, container status, vessel operations, surface or berth available, air/water quality measurements,…) is constantly increasing and technology is getting inexpensive and widely available. However, the application of such systems is still single-entity centric, since the information is not shared, keeping the real potential of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0 hidden. The same holds for geographic areas surrounding ports, where Smart Cities integrate various data systems and provide valuable services to citizens and authorities. PIXEL will enable a two-way collaboration of ports, multimodal transport agents and cities for optimal use of internal and external resources, sustainable economic growth and environmental impact mitigation, towards the Ports of the Future. PIXEL will leverage technological enablers to voluntary exchange data among ports and stakeholders, thus ensuring a measurable benefit in this process. The main outcome of this technology will be efficient use of resources in ports, sustainable development and green growth of ports and surrounding cities/regions. Built on top of the state-of-the art interoperability technologies, PIXEL will centralise data from the different information silos where internal and external stakeholders store their operational information. |

Piraeus port “Port-City Integration” Use case |
Ports are key agents for the cities they co-live with. Actually, the economy of a port-city is sensibly tied to the evolution of the port, which normally boosts, with a tractor effect, the population welfare, growths on employment rates and the image of the city towards the community. However, sometimes this symbiosis can lead to unfortunate situations. Ports can be greedy components with regards to environmental impact. Dredging, traffic bottlenecks, noise, air pollution and other types of inconveniences are bounded to daily port operations. The impact of these effects towards cities and their citizens are trending topics that should be addressed in order to nurture (even) better relations among ports and Smart Cities communities.
Involved PIXEL ports are: Port of Piraeus, Port of Thessaloniki |

Project Marketing Material |
Public dissemination material including logo, leaflet, poster and roll up are available here for download.
Most of the important dissemination actions of PIXEL will be carried out in congresses, fairs, technological workshops and similar events. PIXEL Consortium is expecting to hold a booth in some of them. Having communication support material to show PIXEL project in those scenarios seems crucial for the goals of impact creation of the project, being the poster one of the main tools used in this context.
Similar to the poster, most of the important dissemination actions of PIXEL will be carried out in congresses, fairs, technological workshops and similar events. PIXEL Consortium is expecting to hold a booth in some of them. Because of this, having communication support material to show PIXEL project in those scenarios seems crucial for the goals of impact creation of the project. One of the main tools that will be used in this context will be the official roll up of the project. NEWSLETTERS Here you will find all our Newletters
