Container terminals
Starting in 1999, we pioneered container terminal automation by analyzing container handling processes and introducing breakthrough technologies like kiosk registration and truck OCR portals.
Today, our integration of hardware and software continues to lead innovation in container terminal automation, streamlining hand-over processes and improving terminal efficiency.
Gate automation solutions
Accurate data capturing and instant data processing is essential to connect with the Terminal Operating System (TOS) and to organize gate processing.
Yard automation solutions
Our yard automation solutions help keep track of containers in the yard and integrate seamlessly into any yard configuration.
Quay operations
Our automation solutions are designed for maximum STS-crane availability and for maximum safety of quay workers
Rail operations
With accurate data on rail wagon configuration and containers available, trains can be processed without delay
Container terminal automation software
Our automation software integrates seamlessly with the terminal’s own operations management systems. Intuitive applications make life easier for system operators
Applications for increased safety
We continue to develop more applications contributing to operation safety and security, in the terminal or in cross-border applications
Industry reference in container terminal automation solutions.
Our track record includes projects with a single truck OCR solution for registering incoming trucks to fully automated greenfield projects combining all our expertise.
Our know-how is unique. We are keen to share our insights for any automation project, no matter its complexity.
