ABB at TECH TOC Conference

Date and time: May 19, 12:15-13:45

Location: TECH TOC Theatre

Speaker: Thomas Kumm, Global Technology Manager, Ports, ABB

Revolutionizing terminal operations – again

16 years ago, the introduction of remote operation on quay cranes revolutionized quay operations. Over the years operations have evolved through different levels of automation, continuously enhancing the reliability and consistency of waterside operations.

 

Now it’s time for the next revolution with full waterside automation. This next level automation will impact processes throughout the terminal, including evolution of control room roles, moving decisions closer to where exceptions and bottle necks appear. Join us as we elaborate on new technologies and their impact on the entire terminal, delivering the steady pace and consistent reliability demanded from shipping lines.

Most things will leave your port. We are there to stay

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.
