Automated Truck Check-in and Check-out at HHLA Container Terminals

Challenge

The project focused on increasing the automation level regarding truck check-in and -out processes across HHLA's 3 container terminals in Hamburg. This included the introduction of optical character recognition (OCR) for out-gate processes, introducing reversed sequence of trucker interaction at check-in, and implementing additional OCR check attributes.

Tasks Performed

• Managed all project-related activities across the three terminals
• Led a team of Client representatives from all premises involved
• Assured process standardisation across terminals wherever possible
• Coordination with several Client departments, including software development, technical engineering & construction, hardware procurement, sales, law & insurance

Benefit

HPC ensured management support from all terminals, timely software amendments, procurement of OCR gate hardware and co-ordination with on-site construction teams.
