Siemens, a multinational technology company, has integrated Mevea's digital twin technology into its automation system for cranes at NEOM Port, Saudi Arabia in July 2024. This solution allows for the operation of 10 STS quay cranes and 30 automated RTG cranes, enhancing the port's efficiency and productivity.
NEOM Port, located in Oxagon—the industrial city of NEOM—is expected to become the most advanced, efficient, and sustainable port in the world. It is the first operational asset of Oxagon, with the goal of serving the largest container ships in the world.
Sean Kelly, CEO of NEOM Port, stated, "Automating the quay cranes is crucial for achieving unprecedented throughput speed. We are thrilled to collaborate with Siemens and Mevea to bring this cutting-edge technology into operation, boosting the port’s productivity."
Douwe Wagenaar, CEO of Siemens Cranes, shared, "Mevea’s technology has helped us quickly implement and significantly enhance productivity for the automated quay and yard cranes at NEOM Port."
Mevea, a provider of real-time simulation technology, has developed digital twin-based models that support the development of automation systems and training for operators.
Raimo Nikkilä, Business Director and Marketing Director at Mevea, expressed, "We are proud to collaborate with Siemens and contribute to the development of crane automation software at NEOM Port, which is a part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030."
By integrating simulation and digital twin technology, NEOM Port not only enhances operational efficiency but also aims to become the leading smart and sustainable port in the world.
