PSA unboXed launches second call for action

PSA International’s corporate venture capital arm PSA unboXed is sending out its second call for action for its incubator program, inviting start-ups and potential partners to propose technology solutions in support of PSA’s technology vision for the Port of the Future – CP4.0.

Start-ups and technology solution providers selected for the program will be invited to collaborate with PSA at the PSA Living Lab.

Oh Bee Lock, head of group technology, PSA International, said: “New technologies increasingly transform the way we produce, transact and consume. PSA believes that ports and the larger supply chain can also reap the benefits of these technologies applied.

“CP4.0 is PSA’s transformation blueprint for establishing the ‘Port of the Future’: a hyper-connected port that creatively deploys smart technologies to deliver sustained value to customers and stakeholders in the port, shipping and broader logistics communities.”

Indeed, the CP4.0 blueprint guides PSA terminals around the world on which automation and digital technologies to adopt, and enables the sharing of project details within the group.

In line with CP4.0, PSA has committed approximately S$150m to innovative programs that include automated-guided vehicles, crane automation, predictive maintenance, wharf side automation and video analytics prospects for its terminals around the world.

Start-ups and technology solution providers selected for the incubator program will have the opportunity to collaborate with PSA to incubate ideas and test-bed their solutions in an unparalleled live port environment at the PSA Living Lab.
