Port of Everett Launches Smart Tech Pilot to Optimize Equipment

Key technical features of the DAPE platform include:

• Real-time data acquisition: Integrated sensors and telematics systems continuously monitor port equipment operational efficiency and mechanical parameters like fuel consumption and exhaust outputs.
• Operational key performance indicators (KPIs) integration: A cloud-based analytics dashboard tracks efficiency, fuel consumption, idling, maintenance needs and utilization.
• Enhanced operational visibility: Actionable insights support data-driven decisions across port operations and long-term modernization goals.
• Scalability and resiliency: Designed for all port types - including general cargo, multipurpose, and container ports-both in the U.S. and globally, improving operational and sustainability.
• Supplier-agnostic and industry-transferable architecture: Easily integrates with any equipment or system and is transferable to other fleet-heavy industries.

"Through this collaboration, Jacobs and its partners developed a real-time port equipment data analytics platform, seamlessly integrated with bespoke operational KPIs to monitor and manage cargo handling equipment fleets," say Jacobs Vice President and Director Ports & Maritime - U.S. West Aldo Ferrufino, "This marks a significant step forward in enhancing visibility, efficiency and resiliency in port operations."

"At the Port of Everett, we're always looking for innovative ways to utilize technology to gain efficiencies, plan for the future and enhance sustainability," says Port of Everett CEO Lisa Lefeber. "This smart technology pilot is an exciting step forward, giving the port industry a new tool for gaining real-time insights into equipment performance and can be used to support short, medium and long-range decision making. This is a great example of a modern-day port innovation."

The DAPE pilot program represents a significant advancement in port technology that aligns with global trends in smart port infrastructure and digital transformation.
