APM Terminals Aarhus in Denmark adopted a new technology that simplifies customer experience, standardises processes and safeguards drivers and visitors.
APM Terminals Aarhus has now turned its sights to perfecting the efficiency of entry and departure at the terminal by road.
The Automated Gate system, activated at the end of August, is part of the company’s digital transformation journey.
In particular, this system works through an app which enables customers to pre-inform the terminal of their approach ahead of time. Gate lane cameras equipped with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology automatically verify data against booking details as the truck passes through, improving data quality, reducing human documentation error and ultimately contributing to speedier, safer and simpler terminal access for customers.
At the same time, APM Terminals Aarhus also introduced live truck-turn-times and gate cameras on its website.
Additionally, APM Terminals already offers a range of APIs to provide real-time information directly from the Terminal Operating System, including a Truck Appointment API for some terminals.
These APIs are quickly being made available for all terminals. The company’s global Truck Appointment System is also being rolled out, providing numerous time, cost and environmental benefits.
Elsewhere at APM Terminals, Automated Gates are being installed in our operations in Los Angeles, and APM Terminals Bahrain will go live with AutoGates later this month, with APM Terminals Salalah to follow.
