Through the use of \u2018blueprints\u2019, terminals can use standard configurations for options that do not offer any competitive advantage. To aim is to give terminals more time to focus on \u201chigh-value innovations\u201d, said Floris Vernooij, senior product manager at Navis.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need to do more with what we have on ever less resources,\u201d he said. \u201cWe can standardise certain business processes to achieve faster implementation. We can leverage best practices and known solutions so that we don\u2019t have to reinvent the wheel every time.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added that this new approach also reduces risk and allows terminals to focus on \u201cdifferentiators\u201d.<\/p>\n
Hannah Gilberg, senior manager of documentation at Navis, explained that the blueprints currently under development will form part of Navis Smart Projects, which incorporates standardised project-deployment methodologies and training.<\/p>\n
Currently, blueprints are in development for manual reachstackers, manual rubber tyred gantry cranes and N4 automations. These will be expanded over time.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe essence for these blueprints is that they provide the base configuration for a standard terminal of a specific type,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
This year marks the launch of Navis Smart Projects for the three terminal types and the initial meeting of the Navis Standards Working Group. Next year and 2021 will see the launch of Navis Smart Projects for semi-automated, rail and autoRTG blueprints, as well as the launch of Navis Smart Training and the integration of blueprints into applications.<\/p>\n
Navis confirmed that there will be no cost to using the standards and that interested terminals can start piloting the Smart Projects today.<\/p>\n
