The Role of Technology in Modern Shipping

Shipping is one of the most integral components and the most cost effective when it comes to global commercial transactions. With the growing presence of technology, shipping also has become more efficient, cost-effective and eco-friendly. 

Automation and Robotics
The use of automation and robotics in the shipping sector is one of the primary impacts that technology has had on the industry. With the use of these innovations, the efficiency in shipping cargo handling has improved and there are fewer instances of human error. Automated cranes and vehicles have improved the loading and unloading of goods at various shipping ports which have, in turn, made it possible to offer a 24/7 service regardless of labor availability. 

Around the clock monitoring through IoT
The IoT technology has transformed the shipping industry by increasing visibility across the supply chain network. Now shipping containers can be outfitted with IoT devices making it possible for logistics companies, to track where their goods are at all times which in effect guarantees that the goods get to the intended location within the desired time frame. It also allows to obtain useful data for improving the management of the shipping supply chain.
