SOME OF THE KEY TOPICS AT TOC AMERICAS 2026
highlights
Optimizing container handling to maximize performance and throughput
Talk to us about how automation and digitalization can help unlock capacity while improving safety, predictability and flow. Packer Avenue Marine Terminal has lever-aged innovative OCR technology that enabled remarkable growth. Learn from their story.
Powering electrified port operations
Establish a reliable electrical infrastruc-ture and onshore power supply with minimal disruption to terminal operations. Meet us at TOC Americas to discuss how we can support from concept to execution. Read about one of the world’s largest shore power projects here.
Beyond the hype: Navigating AI
Navigating opportunities, risks and reality with AI technology. AI is already adding value to port operations worldwide – but success depends on undertaking the business, not just the technology. Check out the latest thinking from Thomas Kumm, Global Technology Manager, Ports, ABB.

Location: TECH TOC Theatre
Speaker: Javier Rizo, Business Development, Ports, ABB
AUTOMATION OR AUTONOMY? DEFINING THE RIGHT STRATEGY FOR YOUR TERMINAL
Automation or autonomy is not a “one size fits all” journey. Each terminal must choose its strategy. New technology can increase levels of automation and drive towards autonomous operations. But it can also be deployed to assist crane operators or enhance safety.
Introducing automation inevitably means changes to ways of working and will impact processes throughout the terminal. To succeed, all parties – operators, management, and vendors – must be aligned on the terminal's strategic vision. This session explores how terminals can navigate this transition while maintaining a steady pace and reliability shipping lines demand.
Speaker: Javier Rizo, Ports, ABB

Cargo comes and goes, but your need for reliable, cutting-edge solutions never does. With a proven track record of automating terminals across the globe, we deliver technology that adapts and evolves with your operations.
Container terminal automation
We cut minutes to seconds
With ABB's Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems, you have full control of container movements coming in and out of your terminal. By automatically identifying every container and vehicle, our OCR solution cuts processing time from minutes to seconds. This reduces idle time and bottlenecks, improves throughput and contributes to lower emissions.
