The Evergreen Marine Corporation is piloting the usage of Internet of Things (IoT) technology with customs officials from Kaohsiung Port. Both parties are aiming to see how IoT technology can ensure the safety of moving cargoes and monitor the entire process of point-to-point container movements in Taiwan’s busiest container port.
The memorandum of understanding was signed by Kaohsiung Customs officer, Su Shuzhen, and Evergreen Deputy General Manager, Wu Guanghui, on 11 June. Kaohsiung Customs stated that it used Taiwan’s Customs Administration’s round-the-clock IoT-based monitoring program to plan and build IoT-based systems at the gates of the various terminals in the port.
IoT technology will be used to capture the information of container trucks passing through the automated lanes and transmit the information to the customs officers in real time, with a view to effectively improving customs supervision efficiency.
