Dutch company Certus Port Automation has been selected by Maher Terminals, Newark US, for the replacement and upgrade of existing truck gate automation systems.
The project will include the renewal of OCR portals for inbound and outbound traffic along with the replacement of the driver pedestals and other equipment throughout the facility. As well as implementing PASS software and collecting data from numerous sensors to process.
“We are very excited to bring our latest technology to Maher Terminals. A major US port operator like Maher challenges us to be smart in the implementation of new technology without disrupting the day to day ongoing operation,” said Leander de Nooijer, president of Certus.
He added: “Together with Maher Terminals we are analysing current operations and exploring technologies to bring in ideas and additional technology in order for Maher to increase volume, throughput and service levels to the trucking community.”
Certus is looking to increase gate process performance and introduce new models for faster and more efficient handling, as well as renewing existing systems.
