GreenPort Congress & Cruise	Green Ports & Shipping Congress	Coastlink Conference

GreenPort Congress is a meeting place for the port community to discuss and learn the latest in sustainable environmental practice. It offers ways to reduce their carbon foot print and be more sensitive to environmental considerations, both of which are vital to future success.	The Green Ports & Shipping Congress will identify and prioritise the areas that ports-based organisations and shipping companies need to collaborate on to reduce emissions.	Coastlink is a neutral pan-European network dedicated to the promotion of short sea and feeder shipping, and the intermodal transport networks through the ports that support the sector. It is a place for industry professionals to meet and discuss future innovation, economic and environmental considerations – and develop partnerships that will help build a sustainable future.

INFORM’s Vehicle Optimizer

INFORM’s Vehicle Optimizer provides real-time optimization of all tasks, ensuring on-time execution while maximizing efficiency. By minimizing empty travel of vehicles and combining jobs to allow for double-cycling, it enhances overall productivity. The system supports pooling and gang functionality and seamlessly integrates with positioning systems to improve coordination. With its intelligent optimization, terminals can achieve better performance with a smaller fleet, driving cost-effectiveness and efficiency.

INFORM’s Yard Optimizer

INFORM’s Yard Optimizer enhances efficiency by minimizing container rehandling and reducing equipment travel distances. It ensures efficient storage area utilization while minimizing congestion during peak times. By reducing housekeeping necessity and offering the possibility for customized yard configuration, it adapts to diverse operational needs. The system fits all yard layouts and equipment types, providing transparent visualization of all operations for improved oversight and control.

INFORM’s Crane Optimizer

INFORM’s Crane Optimizer enhances efficiency by minimizing empty travel and crane idle times while ensuring jobs are executed on time. By combining jobs to allow for double-cycling and optimizing crane routing, it maximizes productivity. The system features dynamic crane working areas and avoids crane blockings to ensure smooth operations. It seamlessly integrates with positioning and safety systems, as well as the TOS, for a fully connected and optimized crane workflow.

INFORM’s Train Load Optimizer

INFORM’s Train Load Optimizer generates a train load plan with maximum utilization at the push of a button. It minimizes moves, loading distances, and pin configuration changes while ensuring adherence to rail car, axle, load, and hazardous goods regulations. With real-time load plan re-optimization, it adapts to changing conditions seamlessly. The system supports efficient handling of both single and double-stacked trains, maximizing productivity and compliance.

INFORM’s Rail Scheduler

INFORM’s Rail Scheduler optimizes rail crane productivity with a long-term planning component while improving rail transfer zone utilization. It enables real-time optimization of executable jobs and supports double-cycling of cranes and vehicles for maximum efficiency. The system ensures efficient container retrieval and dynamically adjusts to job progress, resulting in a high percentage of on-time departures.

Add-on Machine Learning

For every optimization module, INFORM also offers a Machine Learning add-on. Machine Learning algorithms identify patterns in historical and real-time data, allowing the system to learn from past operations and offer an improved knowledge base for even more accurate decision-making.
