A complete ecosystem for smart ports.

SmartPorts brings together ConsulData's experience in ports, terminals, customs facilities, logistics operators and other critical infrastructures to connect all stages of the technological journey.

The solution combines methodologies, platforms and technologies to integrate physical infrastructure, networks, operational automation, electronic security, Operation Centers, Artificial Intelligence and cybersecurity into a coherent architecture.

Integrated port engineering

Consulting, projects, implementation, commissioning and assisted operation advance under the same technical vision.

Connected operation

Gates, yards, equipment, networks, sensors and corporate systems share information in real time.

Security and compliance

The architecture considers operational, customs and protection requirements from the initial stages of the project.

Our approach

We deliver projects from conception through assisted operations, including conceptual, basic, and detailed designs, implementation, commissioning, and continuous support. Throughout our history, we have also developed strategic projects for representative organizations within the port community, contributing to the modernization of the technology infrastructure that connects operators, terminals, government agencies, and other participants across the logistics chain. This work has given us a broad understanding of how the sector operates and strengthened our ability to develop interoperable solutions aligned with the operational and regulatory needs of Brazilian ports.

Our experience includes implementing solutions aligned with the requirements of the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (RFB), COANA ordinances, CONPORTOS, the ISPS Code, and other standards applicable to bonded facilities and port installations. This ensures that infrastructure is designed from the outset to meet security, control, traceability, and operational continuity requirements, in compliance with Brazilian law and the specific characteristics of each facility.

From infrastructure to operational intelligence.

Each front can be implemented in a coordinated manner with the others, preserving interoperability and preparing the environment for future developments.
