The Coordination Challenge
Current State Problems
Traditional Terminal Operating Systems struggle to manage autonomous equipment
fleets effectively in real-time conditions.
Route decisions rely on linear logic and historical data
15-20% of AGV/ARMG travel time wasted on unnecessary waiting
Average yard circulation speed only 18-20 km/h (30% below potential)
4-6% real-time coordination error rate requiring human intervention
Digital Twin Technology Architecture
A live, accurate digital replica of the entire container yard continuously updated via thousands of IoT sensors and 5G connectivity serves as the foundation for AI-driven optimization.
Real-Time Data Input AI Simulation
GPS-RTK positioning (+/- 1 cm), equipment load and speed, climate conditions, and Neural network runs thousands of route scenarios in milliseconds, detecting conflicts

Preventing Equipment Failures Before They
Occur
Traditional time-based maintenance fails to detect latent faults in ARMG cranes under continuous heavy
loads. Seven out of ten severe failures occur unexpectedly, resulting in 120-150 hours of unscheduled
downtime per crane annually.
