TBA: Four Terminal Systems That Will Improve Efficiency HD

Dr. Yvo Saanen, Commercial Director and Founder of TBA, an industry-leading consultancy, simulation and software specialist for ports, terminals and warehouses, has revealed how the industry could be making massive efficiency gains by using four of its latest innovations. For TBA’s second video of the AI and Automation series (above), Dr. Saanen has shared the company’s new product developments that have proven themselves in real terminal environments — a new module, an automated straddle carrier and two applications. TBA has found that its new crane dispatching software module, designed mainly for rubber-tired gantries (RTGs), was able to increase a terminal’s performance by 10% and reduced the operational idle time of its machines through a better work load spread of its machines. In the interview, Dr. Saanen stated that this will equate to a 1 million TEU terminal saving €500,000, nearly $590,000, per year. Dr. Saanen also revealed an invention, the automated straddle carrier, which can handle one-over three container stacking.
