The paper will be given by Allan Jones, Head of Business Development, and will look at ways to improve the communication flows between Engineering and Operations, to ensure optimum equipment availability. “Customer service demands mean you can no longer plan operations in a vacuum” says Allan Jones. “Information about the status and availability of cargo handling equipment, both during the planning and execution stages, is vital. We have worked on this with some of the busiest terminals in the world and will present our experiences through this paper”
Richard Lambert, Managing Director, ITS said “We are proud to support this year’s Port and Terminal Technology Conference. This paper is based on our experience of implementing E-SMART, our system for Asset Management and Port Equipment Status Visualisation. Through recent implementations at key customers, we have gained a great set of experiences and insights to share with the conference”. The 9th International Port Terminal Technology 2012 Conference will be held in Amsterdam on the 9th – 10th October 2012, and is presented and managed by MCI Media Limited:
