ProKon Einsatz innovativer IuK-Technologien zur Prozess-Kontrolle im Ladungs- und Ladungsträgermanagement von Seehäfen The transparency of location and status of loadings and load carriers is particularly important for efficient warehouse management on seaport (RoRo) terminals. Often, monitoring of load carrier movement processes and modified status information is still insufficiently supported by software systems. An automated IT-based load carrier management system offers a wide range of opportunities for tracking and tracing positions and status information of loadings and load carriers. As a step towards such a system, the project developed an automated system for detection, identification, positioning and status recording of roll-trailers in seaport terminals by combining innovative information and communication technologies like RFID and GPS satellite positioning for identifying, tracking and communications. The technical feasibility of the proposed system was shown by a demonstrator. Project examinations showed that continuous monitoring of the location and status changes allows search time reduction, decrease of relocation processes and overall an improvement of the traffic flow on the seaport terminal area.
