Lessons Learnt

23

• Nothing is as simple as it seems

• Keep the “Total Process” in mind

• Detect bottleneck as soon as possible

• “Fingerspitzegefüll” is hard to automate at same performance

• Future proof technologies

Future Plans

24

• Growth, growth, growth…

• Up to 60 cranes

• Up to 180 straddle carriers

• Further increase of Level of Automation (RMG/AGV/SC/CRANE)

• Intellgent Units (IoT) / Vendor Independant / Middleware Elimination

• Further standardization using open architecture of OPC UA

• More centralised data / Better data usage / Better resource usage
