This year we're displaying their benefits
of the SPARCS N4
terminal operating system which has
become the industry standard rather than
the new product, so we're very happy we have over 100 installations now
growing and all the customers here are
interested in
the benefits that our new customers have gained with SPARCS N4.
Furthermore we are introducing the
latest addition to the family XVELA a
collaboration portal between carriers
and the terminals, so lots of information sharing and a new tool that's based in the cloud
and we have launched our Business
Intelligence module for the SPARCS N4 suite.
Automation has become a reality so it's not a buzzword anymore,
we hear and we talk a lot about how to
make that reality of automation better
so
we are working on optimisation and
collaboration and
how we can get the most out of the
automation that is the reality
so maybe optimisation has become more of a buzzword
rather than automation, but automation is clearly a very big theme
Only if the industry collaborates and works together and shares information to a
certain degree
we will be able to handle the challenges of the mega ships.
The entire supply chain has to work
together and we can improve
vessel plans, stowage in the yard and prepare
for a massive challenge that's coming
ahead with with the big ships, so
I think that's the only way forward.
