Digital Twin and IoT-Cloud System: Case Study on Durrës Port

Ports worldwide are facing challenges in optimizing operations while maintaining environmental sustainability. Digital Twin (DT) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies provide real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and operational efficiency. This paper presents an IoT-enabled cloud system integrated with Digital Twin for smart environmental and operational management of the Port of Durrës. The system employs IoT sensors to collect real-time environmental and operational data, processed using Azure Cloud Services, Python-based analytics, and Power BI visualization. The results demonstrate improved energy efficiency, predictive maintenance capabilities, and enhanced port management. The study contributes to smart port research by offering a scalable, secure, and data-driven approach for maritime infrastructure optimization.
