why automation?
DESCRIPTION
Automation of Marine Container Terminals is needed now to increase capacity, improve efficiency and lower environmental impacts while avoiding the construction of additional berths.TRANSCRIPT

What is Wrong with Current Systems + Methods?
Too Fragile
Too Complex
Too Expensive
Rely on Expert Systems
New Facility Designs Repeat the Errors of the Past
4
Why?Terminal Operations were Sub-Optimal in the First Instance
Accretion of Methods and Subsystems
Lack of Integration
Piecemeal Solutions
Keeping those Practices in Place only Embeds them Even Further
5
How to Go Forward
Look Outside the Industry
Stop Trying to Get a Different Result by Continuing to Do the Same Thing
Example - What was the Response to Larger Ships?
Add Ship-to-Shore Cranes
6
Large Robust RMGs
CMAA Class F - AISE Sever Duty
Replace Multiple Units
Lower Operational Cost per Unit
Higher Reliability > 99.99999
Higher Availability > 99.99999
7
Lessons Learned in Heavy Industry
Piecemeal Solutions Do Not Work
Integrated End-to-End Systems are Required
Automation is Not Justified Through Reductions in Head Count
Appropriate Automation Solutions Contribute to the Bottom Line While Maintaining Stable Labor Environment
