Automated Cargo Flow

Provide a seamless and automated flow of cargo from arrival to port until dispatch. While the Automated Cargo Flow services are controlled by the supply chain control center, they rely on robots and smart conveyor belts for ground operations, minimizing human intervention and equipment idling time.

Key Benefits

Optimized Service Operations

Autonomous robots support port ground operations in efficiently loading, unloading, moving and stacking containers around the port.

Improved Logistics Performance Index

The service enables more efficient operations across key logistics dimensions including customs, international shipments, logistics competence and timeliness.

Increased Workplace Safety

Connected robots minimize collisions and incidents around the port as vehicles are aware of their surroundings and move on dedicated paths.
