Thursday 3rd June - 14:00-15:30 BST
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 cost, high availability, and utilization of the terminal assets in the yard, gate, berth, and equipment capacity. Moreover, automated terminals can monitor and measure carbon emissions more efficiently.
Although automation continues to remain relevant, there are still many barriers that can only addressed through infrastructure investment, technological improvements, and continued industry collaboration on this subject.
