Dr. Saanen will be speaking on issues such as standardization at Port Technology’s Container Terminal Automation Conference.
He has built up his expertise in container terminal simulation over more than two decades.
Saanen said: “[Vendors] can only work together if they agree on standard interfaces, standard use of technologies, which is today still one of those areas where there is great debate and different viewpoints on how to solve things.”
