Private 5G Network
for Port Automation

The Port of Meridian, a major hub for global trade, was struggling with inefficient and unsafe operational processes. Manual communication systems and a lack of real-time visibility led to significant delays in container handling and vehicle movement. The sheer scale of the port made traditional wireless solutions unreliable, and the absence of real-time data created safety risks for workers and costly bottlenecks in the supply chain.

Divine By Design designed and deployed a dedicated, high-speed private 5G network covering the entire port. This private network provided the low latency and high bandwidth necessary for mission-critical operations. We integrated a comprehensive IoT solution with sensors placed on all containers, cranes, and port vehicles. This enabled real-time, high-definition data streaming, allowing the Port of Meridian to automate container tracking and remotely control autonomous ground vehicles. Our solution also included a centralized dashboard for real-time monitoring and management.

The private 5G network and intelligent connectivity solution completely revolutionized the Port of Meridian’s operations. They achieved a 25% faster container turnaround time, dramatically increasing their throughput and competitiveness. The automation of vehicle movements and real-time visibility led to a significant reduction in safety incidents, creating a safer work environment. The Port is now a model for smart infrastructure, capable of managing a complex global logistics network with unparalleled efficiency and security.
