Put focus on ports

It says the land/sea/air logistics industry is facing huge disruption from retailers such as Amazon.

Renovotec claims that with global shipping of container traffic expected to outstrip seaport capacity, port and intermodal operators need to focus more closely on efficiency and speed.

“Yard management systems are already improving operational effectiveness in many ports, while wireless security and infrastructure solutions are optimising efficiency and providing greater visibility of landside freight movement,” says Richard Gilliard of Renovotec.

Loading and unloading ships, and moving and stacking containers are demanding jobs that require precision. Technology such as vehicle-mount computers provides crane operators with clear information, regardless of lighting and weather conditions, thanks to their large, bright and crisp displays. It’s kit like this that is proving vital landside to improve efficiency on the frontline of busy seaports.

“And like Amazon’s decision to lease planes and airports, smart seaports are fast realising that renting rugged technology like vehicle mount computers, and other devices such as scanners, printers, handhelds and tablets offers real flexibility and cost effectiveness,” claims Gilliard.

Zebra, in partnership with Renovotec, has helped over 200 ports put wireless, mobile and rugged technology at the heart of their port-hinterland operations.

Renting devices allows companies to outsource the ownership, deployment, management and support of their hardware for a set monthly fee. At the end of the term, they have the options to terminate, upgrade or extend the contract.
