The international association Terminal Industry Committee 4.0 (TIC4.0) held its General Assembly at the facilities of The Terminal Hub, in the Port of Valencia.
This is an event organised by Fundación Valenciaport, which holds the General Secretariat of the association.
The TIC4.0 General Assembly took place one day after the Container Terminal Automation Europe conference, organised by Port Technology. This allowed participants to connect the discussions on automation and digitisation with the strategic initiatives of TIC4.0, reinforcing their commitment to the modernisation of the port sector globally.
This meeting, which brought together more than 60 delegates from TIC4.0 partner organisations, aimed to share the advances in digital standardisation of processes and operations in port terminals.

Among the most relevant initiatives promoted by the association, it is worth mentioning the development of a semantic standard that reportedly makes it possible to describe any operational process carried out in port terminals, and at the same time generate a digital replica of this process using a harmonised language (ICT4.0 language).
The association is also in the process of obtaining a Public Available Specification (PAS) in collaboration with the British Standard Institution as a preliminary step to the development of an ISO standard that aims to be the world reference in operational standardisation for terminals.
Late last year, the Port Authority of Valencia (PAV) confirmed the arrival of the first train on its railroad since the cut-off low began.
