"The port operates across both sides of the River Tyne, and depends on connected vehicles, machinery and video-driven processes to realise its efficiency gains. With its private 5G system in place, Ericsson says the port has been able to run mobility-led and safety-focused applications with greater confidence in performance. Across the site, the private network underpins real-time video analytics, sensor-driven processes and connected machinery."
"Over the past year, the network has supported a broad set of uses and has introduced new safety and efficiency tools, including live container scanning, personal protective equipment (PPE) monitoring, restricted-area detection, road-condition analysis, emission monitoring, and high-security access control using video and sensors. Vehicle-mounted cameras, connected to an artificial intelligence engine, help teams identify road defects before they grow."
The Port of Tyne spans 620 acres on the River Tyne, operating across both sides and supporting more than 3 km of berths. Traditional wireless technologies lacked the reliability and scale needed for changing operational layouts and costly cabling. A private 5G network using BT spectrum with Ericsson on-site core and radio infrastructure provides consistent connectivity for real-time applications. The network underpins real-time video analytics, sensor-driven processes, connected machinery, drones, and vehicle-mounted cameras tied to AI. Deployed applications include live container scanning, PPE monitoring, restricted-area detection, road-condition analysis, emission monitoring, and high-security access control. Vehicle-mounted cameras help identify road defects early to prevent escalation.
