1 Operating Solutions For Intermodal and Transportation Safe Efficient Scalable

2 CCIB Intermodal Seminar Tuesday August 2, 2016 Presentation Overview Intermodal Automation Why Automate? Automated Gate Systems Pioneering Intermodal Automation Advancing the Automation Approach Building on the Foundation of AGS Optimizing the Supply Chain The Next Level of Intermodal Automation

3 Intermodal Automation Why Automate?

4 Intermodal Automation Why Automate? The US Department of Transportation identifies the following driving forces that currently influence and continue to change the intermodal industry landscape: Growth Increase in Freight Traffic Trucking and rail industries are currently responsible for 66.8% of the value of all US shipments, and the number of imports and exports are projected to double over the next 30 years. Safety Focus on Safe Productivity Recent trends show improvement and focus on freight safety and security. Despite a 27% increase in freightton miles for all surface modes between 1990 and 2011, freight-related fatalities declined by 33%.
