Maritime automation specialists Konecranes have released a new video showing the potential of their Port Solutions Simulator, with the help of Mercedes Formula 1 Driver Valtteri Bottas.
The video is part of Konecranes’ drive to show what it calls the ‘Power of Connected’ and that the way to prosper in today’s highly competitive world is to combine expert workforces with smart technologies.
Konecranes partnered with Bottas in 2017 and, following a successful year which included a first Grand Prix win for Bottas, renewed its relationship a year later.
