Within a freight terminal, several processes can be automated. Container yard management has been automated for decades, using information systems to manage the stacking of inbound and outbound containers. Thus, automated yard planning allows for more effective positioning of containers and equipment to increase throughput with the same assets.
As of 2025, 75 major container terminals were fully or partially automated worldwide, representing about 8.3% of all terminals. Several terminal operators show reluctance concerning automation and adopt a wait-and-see approach. The main obstacles to automation include: High and irreversible investment costs.
This implies that a container is handled automatically from the dockside to the pickup area. Thus, automated straddle carriers (AutoStrads) allow a fully automated terminal, while it would require the combination of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and automated stacking cranes (ASCs).
Our standardized container products are engineered for reliability, safety, and easy deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
