- Channel 5 artificial intelligence (AI) for ports

First company in the maritime industry to offer services around AI, MGI provides an information channel and a decision support tool for the management of goods in the port’s ecosystem. Channel 5 intends to make the supply chains more robust and resilient by informing the professionals about the situation of the port’s system, by detecting hazards susceptible of impacting the flow of goods, and by suggesting alternatives to address them. The solution also enables port terminals to foresee the import and export flows.
