Tideworks Technology’s President, Michael Schwank, recently contributed an article to Cargo Systems sharing his perspective on how the down economy has given ports and terminals an opportunity to evaluate and implement new technology.
In the article, which is slated to be published in the coming issue of Cargo Systems, Schwank outlines how the container industry experienced significant traffic leading up to the economic downturn. In an effort to keep up with increased demand, many port operators were unable to dedicate the time and resources to evaluate and deploy new technologies, even though the new technology would enable them to be more efficient and reduce operating costs. Since the downturn, container traffic has decreased and operators are taking advantage of this time to implement new technology in anticipation of a future recovery.
Supporting Schwank’s assertion, Tideworks has recently announced new deployments of its solutions with San Marta International Terminal Company (SMITCO) in Colombia, Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) at the Conley Container Terminal, as well as with Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) at the Seattle International Gateway (SIG) and CSX Intermodal’s operations at the new state-of-the-art Northwest Ohio Terminal.
