AI-Based Autonomous Equipment in Container Terminals
In container terminals, a key area of logistics, AI-based autonomous equipment plays a pivotal role in revolutionizing processes. These technologies have the potential to
Within a freight terminal, several processes can be automated. Container yard management has been automated for decades, using information systems to manage the stacking of inbound and outbound containers. Thus, automated yard planning allows for more effective positioning of containers and equipment to increase throughput with the same assets.
A dataset was compiled covering all 63 automated container terminals, their organizational features, technical dimensions, and the maritime and urban markets they serve.
Fully automated terminals exist in the biggest container ports, with the exceptions being the initiatives by the Chinese government in the case of Xiamen Ocean Gate Container Terminal (fully automated since 2012) and by Hutchison Ports, in the case of Brisbane (fully automated since 2013).
These countries have built lots of highly automated container ports, including Ningbo-Zhoushan Port, Qingdao Port, Singapore Port, Rotterdam Port, and Hamburg Port, etc. These automated ports provide good foundations for the application and verification of new smart technologies on container ports.
