Container Supply Chain Conference 'Digital Day' Thursday 20th October / 10:00 - 11:00 GMT-5
Long has been the discussion around automation and digitalisation disrupting the maritime & logistics sector. Whether the debate focuses on the technical aspects of automation or its potential to reduce operational costs, a clear strategy must drive this process if it is to be successful. When investing in in new technologies terminal operators need to assess the estimate ROI and its effect on business models. Nonetheless, are there other factors to be considered? Is it only an increase in the terminal’s productivity, or can the ROI on digitalisation and automation also be translated into other factors such as sustainability and labour force?
