Rajant Corporation and Velodyne Lidar will support DP World’s new Autonomous Internal Terminal Vehicles (AITVs) with wireless connectivity and lidar sensor technology.

A deal signed by DGWorld and DP World will equip DP World’s Jebel Ali Port, the world’s ninth busiest seaport, with a fleet of DGWorld’s AITVs, including integration into the existing operational processes and infrastructures.

This deployment supports DP World’s visionary strategy for future-proofed, seaport digitalization setting a new global standard for port operations, supply chains, and trade.

“We trialled other wireless technologies, including the latest 5G, before discovering Rajant,” said Matthias Krause, General Manager at DGWorld. “They all had the same physical limitation, which is that wireless cannot go through large, metal container stacks.”
