Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/24/2017 -- Automated container terminals use container handling equipment that requires no human interaction and can be operated using hardware, software, and terminal operating systems (TOS). The first container terminal with full automation features became operational two decades ago. The initial automated container terminal was in the Netherlands, (ECT Delta). The container terminals are built with automated stacking cranes (ASCs) and some terminals use automated guided vehicle (AGV).

In the modern global economy, marine container terminals play a critical role in the international supply chain. To improve efficiency and reliability, operators are turning to automation both in terms of hardware and software. Operating an automated container terminal requires the integration of multiple sophisticated hardware and software systems. APAC countries, such as Malaysia, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and EMEA countries like Qatar, Morocco, Oman, Norway, and Sweden, are undergoing a wave of infrastructure development and construction activities. Countries from the Americas, such as US, Brazil, Argentina, and Canada, are in the process of expanding port terminals and looking to upgrade and switch on to automation, either fully or partially. greenfield and brownfield projects will encourage the growth of the container terminal industry in these countries, and may incentivize the scope of automation projects. Such automation will improve operations through modern instrumentation solutions. We note that implementing automation and related software solutions should boost demand for industrial automation solutions, such as terminal automation systems.

Technavios analysts forecast the global automated container terminal market to grow at a CAGR of 25%% during the period 2017-2021.
