Uno Bryfors, Senior Vice President of ABB’s Ports, will be at Port Technology's Container Terminal Automation Conference to explain more about how to automate terminals
The terminal has the capability to serve the largest container ships, which require lifting heights of over 50 meters.

ABB’s solution for automation and remote operation of STS cranes allows the crane operators working in a control room located in the terminal building. This improves working ergonomics and helps to reduce the stress on operator’s back and neck.
With no operator on board, automation and remote operation enable using higher speeds and shorter ramp times for higher productivity.
