APDL
Douro Navigable Waterway Management
Transforming River Management with a Comprehensive Digital Solution
The Challenge
APDL, tasked with managing the Douro Navigable Waterway, faced challenges in ensuring safe and efficient movement of commercial and recreational vessels. Operations such as lock management and stakeholder coordination were manual, leading to delays and inefficiencies. APDL required a solution to streamline these processes and integrate real-time data for better decision-making. Additionally, the solution needed to align with APDL’s sustainability goals, minimizing environmental impacts while maintaining high operational standards.
The solution
Optimizer developed a robust digital platform using Oracle Apex for rapid, low-code development, providing a customizable, user-friendly interface. The platform integrated real-time hydrological and meteorological data to ensure safe navigation and optimized lock management. ARIS was used to reengineer APDL’s processes, ensuring workflows were automated and efficient. The platform also improved communication between APDL and stakeholders such as tourism operators and port authorities, enhancing operational coordination.
The result
The platform provided APDL with enhanced operational efficiency, reduced delays in lock passage management, and improved safety through real-time navigation alerts. It also facilitated better coordination with tourism operators and ensured the sustainable management of the Douro River, contributing to both economic and environmental objectives.
