“Ports are the hub of the global logistics market”

“Ports are the hub of the global logistics market,” said Dr. Wyle. “But the system is stressed with overcrowding and delays in ensuring container ships can be off- and on-loaded and goods moved to where they need to be. As a consequence, the world’s supply chains – and people – are suffering.” She continued, “At Venti Technologies, we have developed flexible, safe and reliable AV technology which is uniquely capable of optimizing transportation of cargo containers.”

Venti’s AV technology can be used in a wide range of vehicles to move varying goods through complex spaces and over changing routes. The AI-based technology, which seamlessly integrates with a port’s existing infrastructure, also addresses scheduling requirements, managing loads, navigating distances, avoiding obstacles and facilitating loading and unloading at varying locations.
