Kalmar supplies Canadian terminal operator

The order with Port of Montreal-based Termont Montréal Inc. (Termont) comprises a range of Kalmar SmartPort process automation solutions including SmartStack, SmartLift, SmartScreen and SmartMap which will be implemented across the entire cargo-handling equipment fleet. Delivery is scheduled to begin in Q2 of 2020.

John Scott, vice president, automation sales, Americas, Kalmar, part of Cargotec, said: “Kalmar SmartPort solutions help terminal operators be more efficient, to see the big picture, think on their feet, reduce complexity and make smarter decisions that boost efficiency.”

SmartStack and SmartLift are process automation solutions which together help improve lift equipment operator productivity, reduce human error and improve terminal safety. Kalmar SmartScreen optimises work instructions for operators in order to reduce non-productive moves. SmartMap enables real-time and historical visualisation of equipment location and container routing in the yard.

Termont, which already uses Cargotec’s Navis N4 terminal operating system, operates the Maisonneuve terminal, which handles over 500,000 TEU of containerised cargo per year, and the Viau terminal.
