Anthropic’s new Model Hardware Standard (MHS) could mark an important step in the evolution of agentic AI. Currently in research preview, MHS provides a standardized way for AI agents to discover, understand and operate physical equipment. Anthropic is already demonstrating the concept with laboratory and manufacturing equipment including robotic arms, microscopes, liquid handlers and laser systems. The objective is compelling.

Ports are becoming increasingly digital. Sensors, connected equipment, private networks, IoT platforms, analytics, digital twins and AI are creating new opportunities to improve efficiency, resilience and sustainability. But adding more technology does not necessarily make a port smarter. Many ports already operate hundreds or thousands of connected assets across multiple systems, suppliers and stakeholders.
