➀REALTIME INFORMATION AND NETWORKING
Progress on information, communication and location technology combined with Internet-of-Things techno- logies facilitate realtime localization and current sta- tus of such objects as vehicles, appliances and cargo units, for example with 5G technology. These enable comprehensive situation pictures to be compiled of traffic flows afloat or on land, of logistics and freight movements, and the state of supra- and infrastruc- ture, and dynamic data to be won for the digital twin. State-of-the-art cloud solutions enable companies participating in the transparent transport chain to gain access to data relevant for them and to exchange da- ta in realtime with partners.
➁BIG DATA ANALYTICS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Realtime messaging and networking will cause a massive increase in data quantities entered and stored. The methods and algorithms of Big Data Ana-
lytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be essential for the analysis and evaluation of such data. AI will enable colossal quantities of data to be specifically analyzed, inter-connections recognized, forecasts prepared, and decisions on dispositions optimized. Services afloat and ashore to, in and from the con- tainer terminal can be multimodally optimized. Sen- sors on containers and cargo units will continuously record, locate and control freight flows in the supply chain. As a result, use of resources can be synchro- nized. Waiting times for vehicles and equipment, along with container storage periods, will be mini- mized. Delays and system failures will be anticipated and appropriate reactions initiated in good time. Ideally, the upshot is a system in which everything – vehicles and freight – simply flows.
AUTOMATION AND AGENT TECHNOLOGY
Electrification of HHLA’s Container Terminal Altenwerder (CTA) in Hamburg
4 fully electrified transtainer cranes and electric cars as check vehicles
The road vehicle area is to be the last section of CTA to be electrified. Last year’s trial deployment of the prototype of a battery- powered tractor between block storage and the rail terminal
90 AGVs, some with diesel propul- sion, some diesel-electric, some battery-powered (lead and lithium- ion). By 2022 all AGVs will have been converted to battery operation
