Study to Improve the Digitalization of the Spanish Port System Through an Affinity Diagram

Abstract

Automation, digitalization, technologies that allow interoperability, transparency, decentralization and customer experience define the context of application of the concept 'Ports 4.0' to the logistics-port sector. In the Spanish Port System this is the objective in the near future, already almost present. That is why this study deals with this issue through the Affinity Diagram. This is a method of categorization in which participants classify various concepts into different categories in order to answer a given question. In this case the question is how can the digitalization of the Spanish port system be improved? The main conclusion obtained is that technology alone is not useful to achieve Smart Ports/Ports 4.0. It is necessary that the technology is used in an integrated, open and joint way by all the agents of the port community
