Automated container terminal
An automated container terminal is a specialized port facility where shipping containers are handled without much human involvement. Advanced technology, such as robotics, sensors, and automated vehicles, manages the loading, unloading, and storage of containers. This system increases efficiency, reduces operational costs, and enhances safety by limiting human labor in potentially hazardous environments. Automated terminals can operate around the clock, allowing for faster turnaround times for ships, ultimately benefiting global trade by streamlining the supply chain process.
