ESC BOOSTS CAR TERMINAL PRODUCTIVITY

TPS has opted for two 7+1 wide machines capable of lifting 1 over 5 containers and featuring Kalmar’s Smartrail® autosteering and container position verification system, as well as remote monitoring interface. The machines, due for delivery in November 2005, represent a key step in the terminal operator’s strategy to convert to an RTG system.

Embarcadero Systems Corporation (ESC) has implemented its VinTelligent 3.0 at Koopman Car Terminal BV (KCT) in Amsterdam providing KCT terminal management of its largest client, Nissan. KCT anticipates processing an estimated 100,000 vehicles in 2005 and providing increased transport productivity, greater process visibility, and a significant increase in data accuracy.
