VICT has completed an upgrade of Navis' N4 TOS

Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT) in Melbourne, Australia has completed its automation upgrade of Navis' N4 TOS. "The latest enhancements at VICT include an upgrade to the N4 3.8 AutoShuttle scheduler which improves the user experience, reducing exception handling by automating workflows. Additional benefits include an optimal AutoShuttle dispatch, increased system robustness and uptime, and shortened truck turnaround time for trucks with multiple transactions," according to Navis. Jon Wheeler, COO at VICT, stresses the focus on improving operational safety and productivity efficiencies for stakeholders. "Since the upgrade, we have seen continuity in uptime, reduced exception handling, berth productivity improvement, and greater efficiencies with our industry-leading landside operation of multiple containers. We are looking forward to working with Navis and enhancing our waterside operations further." VICT's OneTerminal automation solution from Kalmar and Navis is one of the first of its type globally. The initial deployment was completed ahead of schedule when it was rolled out in 2017.
