10 Ongoing automation of Ports Operations Container Handling functions in automated terminals are more split in: lifting/storing horizontal transport QC: Quai Crane = Ship-to-Shore Crane (STS) AGV: Automated Guided Vehicle ASC: Automated Stacking Crane SC: Straddle Carrier Other abbreviations (not depicted here): MHC: Mobile Harbor Cranes RTG: Rubber-Tired Gantry Crane TT: Terminal Tractor ShC: Shuttle Carrier RS: Reachstacker CH: Masted Container Handler Automation is reaching all areas of a modern port nowadays. But how will operators, and stakeholders behave on horizontal equipment automation? 10

11 Autonomous is happening So what does this mean We not only see automation in the port, but also on other areas, and even the public road At the moment the cost for automation means that still there is a need for a (short) regular transport between more or less the same locations. Customs Empty good handlers Key customers which have major contribution in the volume Hinterland hubs for troughput to rail or road. 11

12 Autonomous is happening So what does this mean Mixed traffic is no longer seen as a blockage. 75% of the VDL Automated Vehicle customers have in their roadmap a partly or fully mixed traffic strategy. What does this mean: Short term: Horizontal transport will be more uniform towards other traffic. Mid term: In time more unification with road-traffic (trucks) Long term: Increasing speeds in order to flow with other traffic 12

13 3 Tech Trends Interacting, in ALL vehicle developments Electrification Zero Emissions drivers: Battery Management and charging strategy key due to large fleets Electric vehicles easier to automate Impact on Equipment manufacturers Need to change from transactional to solutions with IT savvy people. Pay per hour vs sell and service Who provided the Capital? 24/7 in ports Automation Big savings in labor (dock workers) Application has lot of wait time ideal to automate.but gridlock fear! Connected to Job management system (TOS, WMS) Connected to Fleet Management System Sensors, Smart Cameras IoT: Internet of Things Connected machines Connected services Data management and safety. Data Information Action 13

14 3 Tech Trends Interacting, so not just the port Electrification Zero Emissions drivers: Battery Management and charging strategy key due to large fleets Electric vehicles easier to automate Impact on Equipment manufacturers Need to change from transactional to solutions with IT savvy people. Pay per hour vs sell and service Who provided the Capital? 24/7 in ports Automation Big savings in labor (dock workers) Application has lot of wait time ideal to automate.but gridlock fear!

15 3 Tech Trends Interacting, means for the mid-term also the entire port environment Electrification Zero Emissions drivers: Battery Management and charging strategy key due to large fleets Electric vehicles easier to automate Impact on Equipment manufacturers Need to change from transactional to solutions with IT savvy people.
