Main Challenges



Day by day business. Automation Process is often applied to

working

terminal



Automation may require deployment of

new IT architectures

(i.e. Wi-Fi)



Automation

Firmware

compliancy with terminal infrastructure (i.e.

network) shall be verified



Fleet of

Equipment

(TT, RTG, SC, QC, …) could be not

homogenous and some could be de-scope from project



TOS configuration can be affected by automation and new business

process

shall be designed and tested



Project Governance shall be clearly identified as well as delivery

Operational Targets

12

 Automatic confirmation of the container position

 Automatic identification of the Lift – Set  Auto Job Promotion of the WI

 Real time actualisation of NAVIS Prime Route

 Real time position of all the Terminal equipment and external trucks

* SmartLift * SmartStack * SmartPath * SmartMap

 Achieve safe and seamless Terminal

operations

 Increase operational efficiency by reducing time in every single automated process

 Provide a secure integrated solution which will practically eliminate risk of pilferage or fraud

 Have a very positive impact in our service delivery

Hardware installation

 TECPLATA hired Cargotec Argentina for the installation

 KALMAR created installation guides of every sensor installed

 RTLS and DGPS infrastructure installed

 Sensors and CrossCore were installed on RTGs, RS, EH & TT

 Kalmar consultant on-site assisting in the process Software installation

 Kalmar consultant made initial server installationo n-site, completed remotely

 First SW installation on CHEs was made by Kalmar consultant on-site, remaining CHEs have been made by TECPLATA

resource

 Fine SW tuning on CHEs was made remotely by Kalmar Finland

Hardware Commissioning

 Hardware installation/configuration verified

 Integration of CHEs & MTS

 Tested all CHEs

 Result analysed and adjusted

 TECPLATA acceptance

System Integration

 Integration SmartPort – TOS N4

 Kalmar consultant worked closely with Navis

 Soft Go Live, moving real containers in production enviroment

 Variation detected and repaired

 Integration final test

 Kalmar provided on-site support for the Go-Live

 The complete solution was tested to ensure that the system operated properly and

accurately

 Trained TECPLATA personnel and shadow

assistance as the users begun to use the systems

 Split into one week of preparation and one week of production support.

 After the Go Live was completed, Kalmar

support team started to assist the Terminal

Learned Lessons

 Automation is not a plug & play



Same team

of consultants during the project lifecycle is an advantage

 The integration between

KALMAR-NAVIS was the key factor of the

decision of TECPLATA. The solution has been customized to fulfill

TECPLATA expectations

 Working with local partner

(Cargotec-Argentina) for completion of installation on all CHE was

Lessons Learned

 Before installation of the solution, the

operations team should be familiar with the use of EC and PrimeRoute

 The implementation team should be a mix of operations, IT and maintenance

 Project Manager:

 70/80% of his time

 Being part of Ops staff and with an operation mindset was an advantage

 The PM should know and understand the process to be automated

 During the Project, the training of the

operators consumed a considerable amount of hours

Targets and Benefit

 Increase reliability of container locations – no more lost containers!

 Speed up of rehandling operations under RMG/RTG with no manual input of

container numbers and/or positions

 The effective return is coming from the TOS that shall apply the right and desired business logic.

 Expert decking manages automatic rehandling decking

Lessons Learned

 Keep it

simple

: requirements and technology

 This was mainly an operations and technical project



_Training:

all drivers shall be trained and made aware of the new procedure
