Kalmar and Navis, both part of Cargotec, introduced Kalmar OneTerminal at TOC Europe today. Kalmar OneTerminal is an integrated automation solution for the container terminal industry consisting of Kalmar and Navis software, equipment and services. Developed out of years of experience, Kalmar OneTerminal is the industry's first integrated offering under one roof, combining software systems, equipment and services both during project implementation and after the go-live. With one key contact, one core team, Kalmar OneTerminal makes automation accessible, mitigates the risks involved and helps customers realise the full potential of their terminal operations, the company said in its press release.
Kalmar OneTerminal offers initial concepts for automatic stacking crane (ASC), AutoStrad and AutoRTG terminals based on the unique integrated combination of Navis N4 terminal operating system (TOS) and Kalmar's terminal logistic system TLS. A OneTerminal project will cover the automation of the container handling equipment, the control systems with Kalmar TLS software, the Navis N4 TOS, as well as project services that will support the terminal through the design and implementation phases. Kalmar Care support and maintenance services ensure optimum performance throughout the entire lifecycle of the solution.
Kalmar has made a significant investment in the Technology and Competence Centre in Tampere, Finland, where a combination of products can be tested in both virtual environments as well as real-world scenarios using live equipment and containers, including the next generation ASCs and AutoShuttles alongside process automation, TLS and N4. The Kalmar pre-integration program ensures that Kalmar tests the interoperability of all the major system components in various combinations to cover the specific OneTerminal scenarios.
Kalmar is the global leader in port automation with several industry firsts in this area and major recent references from automated terminal projects worldwide. Navis is the global technology standard for terminal operating systems with more than 250 deployments globally.
