ABP upgrades to AUTOSTORE
Associated British Ports has upgraded the terminal management system at its 200,000TEU a year Exxtor Terminal at Immingham. The new solution is AUTOSTORE from UK-based Central Systems and Automation.
Since the switch, the faster, centrally controlled container management processes have helped improve container stack management at Exxtor.
Secondary handling has decreased as has on-site dwell-time that hauliers spend when delivering or collecting a container. In addition, real-time data is available in the office as well as at the quayside.
Connecting to the MCP port community system now allows Exxtor’s team to share transit information faster. The new system is also operating a real-time container location system that details where every container is at any one time.
