Green light for EUROGATE truckers

EUROGATE has released a new and improved version of its INFOGATE app.

The new version includes a number of enhanced functions, including an innovative feature designed to help prevent congestion and traffic build-ups outside the gate.

“The INFOGATE app’s pre-gate function is unique and has already won a number of awards,” said Peter Zielinski, managing director at EUROGATE Container Terminal Hamburg. “It’s a good example of how digitalisation can help to achieve time and cost savings in logistics.”

As per the pre-gate function, truckers approaching the container terminal will receive status information relating to their tour on their smartphone and a message telling them which container transfer area they should head for – all paperless and without leaving the cab.

At the same time, terminal operators are that the truck is on its way in and can better plan handling processes. The prerequisite is prior notification of the truck transport data via TR02, which will become mandatory at the Port of Hamburg from November 2016.

The pre-gate function is only possible for EUROGATE Container Terminal Hamburg. The EUROGATE app is available free of charge for Android from Version 5.0 from the Google App store.
