In conjunction with APS Technology, TCBuen has delivered high levels of safety and security. Cesar Contreras, director of operations at TCBuen comments: \u201cBy partnering with APS we successfully delivered one of the most highly secure and safe marine terminals in the region. In addition to increased security and safety, we have also realised some exciting results in gate efficiencies as well as our STS crane moves per hour.\u201d<\/p>\n
The automated gates comprise gate OCR portals with damage inspection imaging and software, plus driver interactive kiosks. The before and after transaction times spotlight notable increases in speed. Pre-automation gate transaction times saw an average timespan of six minutes. After automation, times went down to approximately one minute. STS crane productivity has increased by three gantry moves per hour as a result of the APS ship-to-shore crane and rubber-tyred gantry crane automation solution suite coupled with a PDS system (by Identec Solutions).<\/p>\n
Mr Contreras says that the automated facilities have allowed for various benefits including reduced container handling time, greater inventory transaction accuracy, reduced truck turn times within the terminal (by approximately 42%) and increased safety.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn general, TCBuen is a forward thinking terminal that has used technology effectively to keep costs down and efficiencies high, which is a strong differentiator in a competitive market.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
