UAE’s Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation (PCFC) aims at enhancing the status of Dubai as a leading, forward thinking, smart city at the upcoming Gitex Technology Week 2017 in Dubai, UAE.

The event takes place from 8 to 12 October at Dubai World Trade Center.

The PCFC’s stage at Gitex is set to offer both customers and partners a whole new experience that is far beyond expectations.

DP World and Jafza will take part with a number of initiatives including the Command and Control Centre which is a smart solution designed to enhance the productivity and ensure zero risk at operations, as well as the Eagle Eye, a real time system that captures and showcases the activities taking place at the container terminal.

Jafza One is a multi-use development that provides a business environment conducive for achieving success. A comprehensive business and leisure hub, not only for businesses within the complex, but for companies in the surrounding Free Zone as well.

Dubai Customs is taking part this year with a number of programs and products including Jawab. It is an artificial intelligence service that assists clients with accurate replies to their different enquiries through instant chatting. Visitors will also have a chance to learn about the Smart Risk Engine; the state of the art risk analysis and assessment engine developed in accordance with international standards of risk management.

Trakhees will have its share of initiatives. These include Trakhees Business Opportunity; a system that deploys a responsive web-based (HTML5) statistical dashboard for existing and potential Trakhees clients where the client can identify and analyze business opportunities within Trakhees managed zones and areas.

On its part, Dubai Maritime City Authority will have a number of systems and initiatives including Maritime Connect. It is an informative, interactive and unifying platform for the maritime sector in Dubai through the concept of Maritime Virtual Cluster.

Dubai Trade will introduce LogiGate to its audience. It is a smart logistics marketplace that provides users with two services “LogiGate Transport” and “LogiGate Warehousing” to manage land transportation and warehousing bookings, accessible both online and on smart phones iOS and Android.

Sultan bin Sulayem, DP World Group chairman & CEO and chairman of PCFC said: “The Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation is committed to actively participate in Gitex every year. We have made a quantum leap towards enabling Dubai to become the world’s smartest and happiest city by integrating cutting-edge smart services in all our sectors of business to create added value for our stakeholders and ensure their happiness, following the vision and directives of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
