▪ Connectivity: to the outer world, to all assets, to all staff
▪ Real-time, holistic planning, control and optimization
▪ Real-time measure & continuous analysis of performance KPI’s
▪ Training and certification of staff
▪ Terminal development based on ‘master plan’
A few checklist for “smart” terminals from TBA’s perspective
Dr. Zack Lu | Intermodal Asia, May 2019 | © TBA 2019 5
▪ Connectivity with outer world: • Digital channels in standardised, electronic formats• Truck appointment systems• Vessel BAPLIE, loadlists, Next Mode of Transport, etc.
▪ Equipment, mobile devices, gate, maintenance: • Digital twin• Location, state (technical, operational) in real time
▪ Identification of equipment related issues:• Predictive maintenance
▪ Location and job list in real-time: • Communication through digital channels with staff: RFID,
tablet, smart phone
Connectivity: to the outer world, to all assets, to all staff

Real-time, holistic planning, control and optimization
▪ Bringing all planning, scheduling and dispatching decisions in relation to another:• Across all service points (vessel, truck, rail,
yard, internal transport)• Set priorities, allocate resources• Replan & reschedule based on actual events
Real-time, dynamic container grounding
Prime mover pooling, and dynamic dispatchingReal-time, automated scheduling dispatching of yard cranes

If you fail to plan, plan to fail9
Manual terminal → Automated terminal → Smart Terminal

Manual terminal Smart terminal – something for you? Automated terminal
25+ years since the first AGV terminal
Dr. Zack Lu | Intermodal Asia, May 2019 | © TBA 2019 11
Intelligence everywhere & technologies become available
Terminal scale becomes larger & increasing complexity
Better competiveness & service quality
Higher performance, productivity, safety, reliabilty & lower cost and risks
Reaping the benefits of robotization & automation
Increasing emphasis on brown-field terminals & improvement and optimisation
Yard Crane Scheduler (YCS) – smarter solutions … a real-life gain
Dr. Zack Lu | Intermodal Asia, May 2019 | © TBA 2019 12
Optimized path, with recommended number
of RTGs per block
Neighbouring RTG helps out automatically, workload is spread
over the available cranes
+ 10% productivity improvements. - €1.8M a year
