INFORM is poised to enhance the Duisburg Gateway Terminal (DGT) operations through its advanced AI-based solutions.
The project focuses on leveraging AI technologies to streamline intermodal logistics, in turn pioneering Europe’s first CO2-neutral intermodal terminal in the heart of Duisburg’s port as the facility initiates operations and scales up.
INFORM will implement its Intermodal TOS at DGT, leveraging a modular design that allows a high degree of automation and operational optimisation. Key features include:
- Barge Handling – AI will streamline barge handling to enhance and minimise delays.
- Crane Optimisation - Refine operations of six intermodal barge cranes by organising equipment jobs to decrease handling times.
- Optimise Train Loading – Use advanced algorithms to plan and execute train loading operations for optimal use of resources and reducing turnaround times.
- Stack Optimisation – AI will optimise container stacking to improve space use and accessibility.
- Billing Module Integration - Facilitating the billing process with a tailored module that accurately captures services rendered, streamlining financial operations.
- Booking Platform Interface - Seamless platform integration to streamline combined transport bookings and enhance operational coordination.
The first construction phase of the terminal will open in Summer 2024, utilising INFORM’s Syncrotess Intermodal TOS.
