Abstract

To withstand international pressure of competition logistics added value processes will have a similar level of automation as production added value processes. This paper describes possibilities for automation and to increase efficiency of logistic processes on and around container terminals as a part of the logistics factory of the future, which is the vision of a fully automatic process along the whole logistics chain. The presented approaches will be turned into praxis in cooperation of BIBA and container terminal operators.
