8 Agenda Introduction Automation Solution Q & A

9 Automation defined Automation 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

10 Automation Land Yard Ship Suitable for automation

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

41 Twinlift / Twincarry Finds TwinCarry opportunities Executes TwinLifts where possible

42 PrimeRoute Dispatching Well-proven at many SPARCS sites Uses Hungarian Algorithm with several refinements Choose and schedule Which Job Which AGV When

43 Committed to 40 MPH At ECT, Navis and Gottwald are contractually committed to 40 MPH

44 The Key to Consistency All systems optimized to meet the needs of the terminal Tight integration between planning, control, and execution systems - All updates made in real-time and communicated across systems Flexibility to react quickly to any operational changes - Operation doesn t slow or stop

45 More Automated Sites to Come Automation is coming to a port near you North America and Europe are looking to automate, following ECT s lead.
