The three-year ongoing IHATEC-funded project Port Energy Management Dashboard - dashPORT strives to enable port companies and terminal operators to achieve cost savings through a holistic energy-management of both the entire port and all parties that operate within.

By developing a working prototype in the German Port of Brake, dashPORT aims to realize efficiency gains by using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things-applications (IoT) to help optimally sequence the energy needs of ports, hence improve their ecological and economic bottom line.
