Digitalization of Seaports based on Enterprise Architecture approach

Abstract

Global economy and era of digitalization poses great pressure on development of different enterprises. Businesses have to be complied with newest technologies and focus on efficiency of their management system. Seaports are complicated business systems, which are becoming global hubs for different stakeholders to exchange data within complex infrastructure. Digitalization of such complex systems requires a coherent approach, aiming to summon managerial and digitalization goals. The key concept to create a digital-based system of business processes is the concept of IT-services, which are characterized to be a support of business functions. The goals of this research paper is to adapt standard of Enterprise Architecture and create a coherent system of business processes for container terminals and suggest a set of IT-services, which could be further transformed into a complex Applications Architecture of seaport. This Applications Architecture can be further built up with modern digital technologies and information systems of different types.

Ports Digitalization Level Evaluation

“…Therefore, the benefits of port digitalisation are also essential for the whole supply chain’s performance improvement [ 10 ]. Different types of IT system are currently implemented in seaports, both individual solutions and those integrated into complex IT architecture [ 11 ].…”

Digital learning technologies within geo-information management

“…Modern global economics including logistics [1] is functioning in Industry 4.0 period, and when while climate change and covid-19 pandemic. Now, wide range of information technologies are planning and implementing by many businesses [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], including transportation sector [11,12]. Industry 4.0 leads to serious information technological changes, including natural risks management (NRM) within geo-information management (GIM) for natural-industrial systems (NIS) [11][12][13][14][15][16][17], that requires the development of new managerial tools, including practical learning area [18][19][20][21].…”
