📍 TECH TOC Theatre
As the port & terminal sector incorporates innovative technologies in the hope to optimize their cargo handling operations, the need to articulate these into a seamless flow of data becomes pressing.
Nonetheless, at present the industry presents a wide scope of solutions that comes with an equally wide scope of technical language formats, making it difficult to properly integrate the distinct functions together. As such, the semantics of data exchanges describing the movement, handling, and storage of cargo across terminals must be standardized across the industry.
Whether using simulation & emulation for strategic decision-making, incorporating remote cargo handling technology, or investing in container stacking & storage facilities, the use of common semantics will provide a universal measuring unit to benchmark efficiency. This becomes particularly important for ports in times of high cargo flows when the risk of congestion and supply disruption increases.
Only when a sizeable share of the market embraces a standardized approach to cargo handling operations will the present multiplicity of available solutions deliver true efficiency to terminals.
Optimizing terminal operations and cargo handling: What does it mean?
How can the TOS & related cargo handling equipment speak the same data language? What are the semantics of it?
Can simulation and emulation assist decision-makers from terminals and equipment manufacturers to assess the ROI of implementing a common data language?
How can ports and terminals make the best use of their available space for containerized cargo? Can a harmonized cargo handling language format optimize container stacking and storage?
What are the business implications of embracing a standardized operational language? Analysing pros and cons.
