To ensure smooth port operations, Romanian operator UMEX relies on a digital twin of its port infrastructure in Constanța. Using the Nemetschek Group's cloud-based digital twin platform dTwin, a digital replica of the berths, storage areas and warehouses was created and linked with key figures on productivity, warehouse utilization, operating volume and loading efficiency as well as real-time information on building structure and energy consumption. This enables the entire ship unloading process to be comprehensively monitored. Energy efficiency and productivity are sustainably increased, which also benefits customers. Large volumes of goods from neighboring countries are handled via Constanța on the Romanian Black Sea coast. UMEX operates five berths there for bulk and liquid goods, as well as bagged cargoes and general cargoes like steel products, timber or project cargo. Open spaces, warehouses and a specialized infrastructure ensure that UMEX can cover all of its customers' freight needs. From BIM model to digital twin Constantly growing
