The engagement
Challenge
Manual terminal operations had become the bottleneck at a port whose quay capacity was otherwise sufficient. Yard moves were planned on paper and re-planned constantly as reality diverged from the plan.
Approach
A terminal operating system with automated yard planning and equipment dispatch, deployed alongside the manual process for a full quarter before cutover.
- Automated yard planning and container sequencing
- Equipment dispatch integrated with crane and vehicle telemetry
- Parallel running for a full quarter before cutover
- Operator training built around the existing crew structure
Results
Throughput rose 19% without additional quay or yard capacity. The parallel-running period cost a quarter but removed the operational risk that had stalled two previous attempts.
Outcomes
- 19%
