Port Management

Ports are busy places, making it hard to keep track of all the activities taking place there. Getac devices provide a tool to execute comprehensive strategies for container yard management, optimising terminal capacity and providing complete visibility over performance and maintenance needs. They can also integrate directly with harbour pilot boats to help guide larger vessels to their assigned berths, facilitating smooth logistics and timely loading/unloading of cargo.

Rugged Computing for Smart Ports

New technologies constitute both a great opportunity and a significant challenge for port managers. The ability to optimise processes such as running navigation apps and managing port containers and berth space as well as sharing information in real-time, improve security and get a clear picture of the port’s performance is a benefit for port authorities. Finding a computing solution that can perform at a high level and withstand the harsh environmental conditions of a port, including corrosion and weather, can be challenging. Our solutions bring you the ruggedness and power you need to increase port productivity.

Ready for Maritime Digitalization and Automation

Many applications, such as maritime navigation/piloting and these are needed to run a smart port, require not only reliable connectivity but also a significant amount of processing power to work smoothly. Getac’s solution offers devices with powerful Intel® Core™ i7 and i5 vPro™ processors, which bring the processing power you need for your application.

Advanced Connectivity with Wi-Fi and 4G LTE WWAN

For communications, including instructions and reports to the transmission of documents, continuous always-on connectivity is vital for any port management solution. With dedicated GPS, 4G LTE WWAN and IEEE 802.11ax Wi-Fi, our solutions help professionals in tasks such as container handling or truck identification by sending and receiving data directly from the port’s system. This includes location data, which helps organise cargo pickups.

Salt Fog Resistance

Maritime environments and the exposure to salt they involve are a great challenge to computing devices. Getac offers a unique anti-corrosion technology. We test our salt fog resistant products in a uniquely rigorous salt fog chamber test, using a 2-cycle 24 hours exposure and drying testing process. Our sealed port design prevents salt fog from damaging the system, while our microstructure drainage design protects against corrosive salt fog accumulation on internal components. This helps prevent computer failure, work disruption and additional costs.

One-Handed Operation with Digitizer Pen

By adopting a digital solution that can send data wirelessly, ports achieve increased efficiency in tasks such as cargo inspection or container handling. Errors are minimised, costs can be reduced, and response times improve because data becomes available to management in real-time. The digitiser pen (optional) and stylus also help replace pen and paper for record-keeping.

Rugged Means Savings

Getac solutions are inherently rugged, certified by international third parties to MIL-STD 810H, and up to IP67 standards. They thrive in all weather conditions and withstand impacts, vibrations, harsh temperatures, humidity, dust, and drops up to six foot. Getac fully rugged computers deliver excellent total cost of ownership (TCO) and return on investment (ROI), with one of the lowest average failure rates in the industry and an industry-leading three-year warranty that covers accidental damage with our Bumper to Bumper service as standard.

Highly Integrated Solutions

Getting the right mounts and accessories such as barcode readers is important. We work closely with our partners to deliver a fully integrated solution that includes hardware, docking, mounting kits, mobile power supplies, security and connectivity software, and other accessories to bring you complete peace of mind.

Engineering and Support

Ports make use of a variety of different software and hardware systems, and having your computing solution properly integrated is vital for success. Getac delivers industry-leading engineering services and customer support, ranging from regular security patches and software updates, software imaging, product kitting, joint development of docking, and bespoke logistic vehicle equipment.
