About TIC 4.0
The Terminal Industry Committee 4.0 (TIC 4.0) is a non-profit international association, dedicated to promoting, defining, and adopting standards that enable the cargo handling industry to embrace the Fourth Industrial Revolution. By establishing common process semantics, language, and operational definitions, TIC 4.0 facilitates seamless data communication and interoperability among various stakeholders in the port industry.
