Kalmar's President Antti Kaunonen has discussed the aggressive way in which ports and terminals are developing automation.
At this year's TOC Europe, Kaunonen explained what factors lead to a terminal needing to become fully automated and where innovation is taking hold.
Kaunonen recently reported that a lack of global commercial standards for terminal automation is holding back the entire container shipping industry.
The efficiencies that can be created for terminals through automation software has also been discussed by Navis' General Manager and Vice President EMEA Guenter Schmidmeir, who is a colleague of Kaunonen's under the Cargotec company umbrella.
