Automated gate system
Kalmar, part of Cargotec, will deliver Kalmar SmartLane automated gate system to Port of Liverpool, operated by Peel Ports Group. The new system will reduce waiting times and administration for hauliers, resulting in faster turnaround. The implementation is scheduled to be completed by early 2015.
Kalmar SmartLane uses identification technologies to manage gate operations for trucks, ensuring that all containers and trucks are automatically identified before entering or exiting the terminal.
The optical character recognition (OCR) cameras capture the truck registration and container IDs. The OCR technology is provided by Kalmar’s partner APS Technology.
