Recipe for success


What do I need to

take into account?

Deploy ▪ Simulate and emulate end-to-end scenarious

▪ Thorough testing

Plan ▪ How to achieve your goals?

▪ How to mitigate risks?

▪ What steps to take?

Define ▪ Your targets

▪ Your processes

Structured method: Define – Plan – Deploy – Review


Review ▪ Look back

▪ Learn

Start from your business model

➔ Architecture should be modular

and scalable

➔ Technologies should not limit

but enable your solutions

➔ Make sure your interfaces

and processes are

ready for further

automation

Case examples


DP World Melbourne

Levelled approach

▪ Manual straddle carriers

▪ Plans to further automate


London Gateway


Phased approach

▪ Greenfield, mega-sized terminal

▪ Kalmar delivery included Equipment &

software

‒ 60 Kalmar ASCs

‒ 28 Kalmar electric shuttle carriers (ready

for automation)

‒ 12 Kalmar hybrid shuttle carriers (ready

for automation )

‒ Kalmar TLS

‒ Kalmar automated truck handling

‒ Navis N4 TOS

.

“It is of utmost importance for us to

have equipment and TOS that are fully

integrated and make our operations as

efficient as possible.”

Andrew Bowen

Engineering Director,

DP World London Gateway

Tangier Med II

Phased approach

▪ Greenfield

transshipment terminal

▪ Scheduled to be opened

in 2019

▪ Kalmar to deliver 30

Kalmar Hybrid Shuttle

Carriers with high level

of automation readiness

as well as related

service and support


TraPac, Los Angeles

Full automation

▪ Brownfield – conversion from RTG and

reachstacker operation

▪ ASC stacks including mini blocks for truck handling

▪ Automated straddle carrier stacks

Kalmar delivery included equipment & software

▪ 27 Kalmar ASCs

▪ 2 Kalmar 5th generation ASCs

▪ 28 Kalmar electric automated straddle carriers

▪ 12 Kalmar automated hybrid straddle carriers

▪ Kalmar automated truck handling

▪ Kalmar TLS

▪ In-house TOS

.

“There are not many companies

who can offer an integrated

automation solution.”

Scott Axelson

Vice President, Planning and

Development

TraPac LLC 14 September 2017 Kalmar Automation Technology Days / Johanna Huttunen

Patrick Port Botany

Big bang in four days - From manual to fully

automatic operation

▪ The world's second fully-automated AutoStrad(TM)

terminal, operating with 45 Kalmar AutoStrads and

real time control systems.

▪ Radar-based navigation system, maximising

operating efficiency from gate to quayside.

▪ Kalmar Care maintenance contract including

continuous AutoStrad support from 47 Kalmar

technicians and a team of automation and reliability

engineers. Additionally the services contract

includes maintenance support for eight ship-to-

shore (STS) cranes of different makes and twelve

Bromma spreaders.


Key learnings ▪ Terminals can be converted

to automation step-by-step.

▪ Define-Plan-Deploy-Review

▪ Make sure you select a

modular and scalable

ecosystem which meets also

your future needs.

Group exercise


What’s in it for me?

Group exercise


Discuss about shuttle and straddle carrier

automation

▪ What would be important in your own terminal?

▪ What is the biggest benefit you wish to gain with

automation?

‒ Labor savings?

‒ Capex/opex savings?

Groups of

3-4 persons
