Affecting terminal design & operationTrends and developments

Setting the scene

IAPH Bali 2017 | Enabling Trade. Energizing The World

• Terminal capacity is exceeding demand for the foreseeable future

• This overcapacity will be put increased pressure on competitiveness

• Terminals need to find ways to improve efficiency

In search of (cost) efficiency

IAPH Bali 2017 | Enabling Trade. Energizing The World

Key focus points for terminal operators

IAPH Bali 2017 | Enabling Trade. Energizing The World

Brown field terminal automation

Opening the box

Digitization

Data driven improvement

The technology is at hand

IAPH Bali 2017 | Enabling Trade. Energizing The World

Robotization

Internet of things

Big data

Artificial intelligence

Terminal automation in different flavours

IAPH Bali 2017 | Enabling Trade. Energizing The World

Equipment automation

OCR & LPR

Automated decision making

Tracking & tracing

Terminal automation in different flavours

Today

The automation business case

Reduced labourdeployment

Less unproductive time

Less training costsLess wear & tear

Continuity

Control Consistency

PredictabilityInformation availability

Tracking & tracing

Less noise (smooth operation)

Less noise (no diesel engines)

No lightingElectrical equipment

(no emissions)

Performance dependent behaviour

Predictable equipment behaviour

Programmed safety features

Systems rather than humans in control

No people on the ground

Extra measures in hazardous areas

Brown-field vs. Green-fieldAutomation solutions

Green field terminals

Brown field terminals

The ideal green-field solution: ARMG – Lift AGV

Solution (1) for brownfield sites: Auto Straddle Carrier

Solution (2) for brownfield sites: A-RTG + ATT

What’s next?Future Outlook

What’s next?

• Combined work of human workers and robots

• Intelligent everything: from refrigerator to road

• Increasing wealth of available data

• Autonomous vehicles

• Self-learning devices new behavior (AI)

• Increased supply chain transparency

• Increased use of electric / battery technology

What’s the impact on terminal design and operations

• Increased transparency within the supply chain

• Increased automation of processes and decision making

• Increased robotization

• Increased use of electric / battery technology

• Robotization will be applied to the majority at existing sites: ‘brown-field’ conversions

• Integration of manned machines within an automated operation will come
