The events of 2020 have highlighted the need for automation in the port and terminal sector to ensure that all actors across the supply chain stay competitive.
New technologies, such as automated cranes, robotics, and smart tools, continue to be implemented into port and terminal operational processes. Automation is accelerating all over the world to ensure low operating costs, high availability, and optimal utilization of the terminal assets in the yard, gate, berth, and equipment capacity. Moreover, automated terminals can monitor and measure carbon emissions more efficiently.
Despite the race towards full automation continues, some ports are still hesitant. Among the major barriers preventing full automation is the potential reduction of port staff, as well as significant infrastructure investments. While some ports may need to integrate new technologies such as automated cranes, robotics and smart tools, others will require to completely implement new infrastructure.
