Abstract
The present study addresses the optimization of storage in dry ports in Brazil, emphasizing its importance for improving logistics efficiency in foreign trade. The research identified that implementing warehouse management systems (WMS), process automation, and environmental monitoring are essential measures to mitigate issues such as congestion, cargo movement delays, and high operational costs. The main objective was to investigate solutions to increase storage capacity and productivity, enhancing the logistics flow. The methodology included exploratory bibliographic review and qualitative research at Aurora EADI, incorporating interviews and questionnaires. The results confirmed that technological integration and team training are crucial for operational efficiency and competitiveness. However, the study’s limitation was its focus on a single facility, indicating the need for future research encompassing more dry ports and additional variables, such as environmental and economic impacts. It concludes that infrastructure modernization and sustainable practices are key for continuous improvement in storage management at Brazilian dry ports, contributing to more efficient and competitive foreign trade.
