For the journey.
With Kalmar Automation as a Service you get a partner, one that is focused on delivering a world class automation platform for your operations that will grow and adapt to the changing needs of your operations over time.
Delivered by one experienced team that will work in partnership with you past the key delivery stages, maintaining and optimising your automation system once it is in full operation. This service is a new way of working that will deliver greater value quicker, and shares with you the risks and the rewards.
Why work in partnership?
By seeing automating your terminal as a journey, one that doesn’t stop on the go live date, you will get a team from Kalmar that is focused on allowing your operations to realise their full value of your automated operations every day. A team that shares common targets and objectives and works with you overtime to ensure that your automated operations are always performing optimally.
See the difference.
With most automation projects currently, the focus is on the automated equipment arrival and then integrating this equipment into your TOS with the appropriate automation interface.
Equipment specifications are well known, but the scope of the operational model and the automation software to be developed is often unclear and the focus is on the acceptance criteria and not the long-term value.
The singular focus is a go live date where operations move from manual to automated. Any updates or changes to the automation platform after this time are normally carried out through variation orders.
With Automation as a Service.
In this new way of working the equipment sales and automation softwares integration and optimisation are separated from each other. With your automation project team solely focused on delivering you long term value.
This is a four-step process, one where we emulate and test your proposed automation platform, integrate it with your TOS and other systems, actively maintain and update it over time and work with you to continually find ways to optimise your operations. An on-going process where we share common targets and objectives and share the risks with the rewards.
