The Port of Long Beach to pilot General Electric port software

Two container terminals at the Port of Long Beach, US, will pilot a General Electric (GE) Transportation software aimed at improving cargo movement through the facility.

Total Terminals International and Long Beach Container Terminal will pilot GE Transportation’s Port Optimizer platform, which gathers real-time data from across the port to improve the visibility of incoming cargo.

GE Transportation explained that the cloud-based Port Optimizer platform uses integrated data and machine learning to monitor the supply chain and react to changes within it, thus making it easier to predict when cargo will arrive at a facility.
