Sustainable Container Handling

Purpose and goal:

The project´s aim has been to create conditions for a more automated container handling without huge investments and a totally changed, sustainable way of working. This is a clear step towards Industry 4.0 for container terminals. The project´s objective has been to develop and demonstrate MySpreader - a solution for sustainable container handling.

We have fulfilled the project objective and demonstrated MySpreader with successful results. Expected results and effects: Results include: - proof of the functionality of the MySpreader system and that it meets potential customers´ requirements.

- development of a smart system that can work commercially and that can handle exchanges between several parties in an anonymized way.

Expected effect is that we can provide customers with a complete solution for maintenance and repair of the entire spreader fleet. MySpreader provides a greatly simplified opportunity to build spreader maintenance into superior industry 4.0 solutions when customers are ready for it. This can contribute to increased sales.

Approach and implementation:

We have followed a project process that is in line with ISO 21500: 2012 which ensures progress, control and risk management. The project has been implemented through five work packages. These were: 1. Qualitative validation with potential customer 2. System development 3. Field test in real environment and analysis of outcome

4. Develop smartness with AI and in-depth system development based on AP3 and user test. 5. Project coordination The project has been implemented according to its time plan and budget and we have achieved the desired results.
