Agenda



Automation definedAutomation is:

The use of automated (i.e. unmanned) container handling equipment such as trucks and cranes

Automation requires:Operation with the right mix between manned and unmanned equipment

Adaptation to local conditions

Advanced Planning and Equipment Control for unmanned and cranes


Automation

ShipYardLand

Suitable for automation


AutomationFor example:

Computer system must handle….- Actual container move- Information synchronization- Overall planning- Adherence to, and adjustment of plans- Detailed robot control- Safety- Container transfers

The Key to ConsistencyAll systems optimized to meet the needs of the terminalTight integration between planning, control, and execution systems- All updates made in real-time and communicated

across systemsFlexibility to react quickly to any operational changes - Operation doesn’t slow or stop
