Ports are evolving from traditional infrastructure into intelligent, interconnected ecosystems. The MTCOM initiative is driving this transformation by developing technologies that enable the port of the future.
Co-financed by the Regional Programme – European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) Liguria 2021–2027, MTCOM brings together EdgeLab, SMARTY, Sitep Italia, InfoCom, the University of Genoa and the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies (Pisa), combining expertise to develop innovative technologies for next-generation port environments.
At its core, MTCOM envisions the port as a cyber-physical ecosystem, where maritime assets, infrastructure and digital platforms continuously exchange information through a dedicated communication backbone. By integrating advanced monitoring systems, autonomous surface vehicles and a private 5G network, it delivers real-time situational awareness, improves the coordination of maritime traffic and infrastructure, enhances safety, and enables continuous environmental monitoring to support regulatory compliance and more sustainable port operations.
USV_EL CAT: A Mobile Intelligence Platform
Within the MTCOM ecosystem, EdgeLab's USV_EL CAT plays a central role as an autonomous surface vehicle designed to collect, process and transmit critical information.
Designed for both remote-controlled and autonomous operations, the platform performs continuous survey and monitoring missions in shallow-water and harbor environments. Equipped with a multiparametric probe capable of measuring conductivity, temperature, water level, pH,
