Ports and canals

Smart ports for maritime

Smart ports

Maritime ports need to be equipped with modern solutions that enable them to transform into future-proof hubs.

Ready to learn how Hexagon's capabilities can empower your business?

Hexagon’s solutions help port and canal authorities manage traffic, assets and security to ensure the safety of people and cargo. Our location-based capabilities support real-time visualisation of inbound and outbound vessel traffic, historical and current data analysis, daily operations, facilities management and more.

Autonomous mobility
Autonomous marine vessels navigating in ports and canals rely on a fusion of sensors and positioning data. GNSS and GPS provide an absolute position, inertial measurements enable navigation and sensors like radar and photogrammetry allows automated systems to become fully autonomous.

Deployment solutions

Deploying autonomous solutions that enable customers to quickly scale from prototype R&D and testing phases to full production in a variety of emerging and fast-paced market segments.

Buildings
Offerings for the complete lifecycle of buildings used in port and canal facility maintenance and management with solutions that ensure projects are optimised to reduce rework and build to plan — on time and on budget — while protecting human and material resources throughout the life of the asset.

Build phase

Orchestrate the construction process more simply, creating a model of productivity and efficiency with higher quality, fewer reworks and less waste while ensuring worksite safety.

Cities and nations
For port authorities, securing and protecting port and canal operations can involve a number of complex challenges. Learn how Hexagon is working with cities and nations to improve port security and operations through better incident management, response and investigation.

Transportation solutions

Deploy intuitive, integrated solutions for roads, railways, aviation and maritime to ensure effective planning and operations and enhance safety with minimal disruption.

Infrastructure
Offerings for the complete lifecycle of large-scale engineering projects with solutions that ensure projects are optimised to reduce rework and build to plan — on time and on budget — while protecting human and material resources throughout the life of the asset.

Plan phase

Visualise the site above and below ground, digitally mapping out every detail for the construction phase, including time, materials, estimating, scheduling and cost.

Design phase

Digitally capture all the right distances and volumes that are key to construction performance, with accurate positioning and measurements integrated into the 3D model.

Construct phase

Maintain a data-driven approach to orchestrate the entire construction phase, creating a 3D model of productivity and efficiency — with higher quality, fewer reworks and less waste — while layering 4D cost and 5D BIM scheduling data throughout the project.

Operate and maintain phase

Empower asset owners and operators with solutions that go beyond smart infrastructure and provide 24/7 visibility into the operational twin to optimise safety and efficiency throughout all operations and maintenance while extending the life of the infrastructure asset.
