Ashdod Port: Operations Transformation
This case study delves into the critical need for a Digital Twin Solution at Ashdod Port and the remarkable transformation it brought about in the management and maintenance of vital equipment. By creating a virtual replica of its physical infrastructure, the port aimed to achieve real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and enhanced troubleshooting capabilities. With Treedis technology, this ambitious exercise not only modernized Ashdod’s operations but also optimized equipment uptime, ultimately leading to significant cost savings and improved service quality. The story of Ashdod Port's journey to a digital twin solution serves as an inspiring example of how cutting-edge technology can transform traditional industries and pave the way for a more efficient and sustainable future.
Generally, cargo ports must invest in maintenance, security, technology, and workforce management to maintain agility and ensure smooth and efficient operation. In the case of Ashdod, management decided to improve several areas that would substantially impact the overall productivity. Ashdod Port faced dual challenges, including time-consuming diagnostics and resolutions for complex machinery and electrical systems during downtimes, leading to decreased operational efficiency. Additionally, the imminent departure of knowledgeable employees and the extended onboarding time for new personnel posed a significant threat to the seamless flow of operations. The following objectives were identified: 1. Shorten the onboarding time of the new employees. 2. Improve the time-consuming and under-documented troubleshooting of equipment. 3. Transform how the workers work and minimize the cost of operations due to equipment troubleshooting.
Ashdod, a forward-thinking company operating in the maritime industry, was facing numerous challenges related to workforce management and operational efficiency. With a large and diverse workforce, complex cargo handling operations, and a constant need to adapt to changing conditions, Ashdod recognized the importance of embracing Industry 4.0 features and committed to implementing the Treedis Connected Workers solution. Treedis adopted a multi-faceted approach, leveraging its digital twin technology and innovative VR and AR solutions to streamline the troubleshooting process. By harnessing the expertise of seasoned technicians and integrating IoT sensors, Treedis aimed to simplify knowledge transfer, enhance remote access to critical data, and enable seamless communication among the workforce.
Treedis simplified the process for Ashdod Port by first scanning the cranes to create its digital twin, effortlessly understanding their complexities. Using the easy-to-use no-code studio, Treedis digitized the port's processes and workflows, ensuring seamless integration and management of data. The user-friendly connected worker app, integrated with AR and VR technologies, made knowledge and troubleshooting accessible for all employees, whether on-site or remotely. Additionally, Treedis’ Threads collaboration feature facilitated location-based discussions, streamlining issue reporting and enhancing team communication, thus fostering a more efficient workflow and effective problem resolution.
Ashdod conducted a performance analysis, comparing efficiency metrics between new and experienced workers. The study revealed significant disparities in task completion times, with new workers taking 86% more time to shut down the crane compared to the 50% reduced time taken by experienced workers. The project's outstanding success not only validated the significance of skilled proficiency but also highlighted the substantial strides made by the port in optimizing its operational processes. Troubleshooting time before and after the Implementation of Treedis: Experienced employee: 30 minutes to troubleshoot, while using Treedis the figure was reduced to 15 min, thus reducing the time by 50%. New employee: 90 minutes to troubleshoot, while using Treedis the figure was reduced to 14 min, thus reducing the time by 84%.
The Port of Ashdod is one of Israel's primary cargo ports. Situated in Ashdod, approximately 40 kilometers from Tel Aviv. This port's establishment marked a substantial increase in Israel's port capacity and has the distinction of annually handling the largest volume of cargo containers. Experiencing a growing demand, Ashdod Port has incorporated technological advancements into its operations and has inspired other ports around the world.
