A U.S. port project using ForgeTrack improved efficiency by linking existing data systems, reducing delays and supporting zero-waste goals.

Adalberto “Berto” Ponce, CEO of AI Strategic Solutions, says the main barrier to modernizing ports isn’t technology, but poor use of existing data systems. His company’s ForgeTrack platform connects legacy systems without replacing them, translating data like EDI messages in real time across ports, terminals, and logistics networks. This improves coordination among crane operators, truckers, customs, and regulators, reducing delays and boosting efficiency. A U.S. port project using the system tracked waste across ship, truck, and rail, supporting a zero-waste goal. Ponce argues true innovation lies in interoperability and leveraging current infrastructure, not chasing new tools.
