Deutsche Telekom, Volkswagen Group Logistics, the Bremen Institute of Production and Logistics (BIBA) and software expert Unikie collaborated on a project to increase the power of Volkswagen’s car terminal in Emden.
The port of Emden is the largest automobile terminal in Germany, where more than one million cars are imported and exported every year.
The order is part of the state-funded “AutoLog” project at the Port of Emden, which aims to automate workflows at car terminals, using Volkswagen’s plant in Emden as the main control location.
AutoLog is expected to operate for 3 years at a cost of €5. 8 million.
Today’s partnership will allow Deutsche Telekom to build the Emden terminal with 5G, as well as implement a state-of-the-art knowledge center on the site. Together, this infrastructure will enable more effective control of cars on site and allow testing of various traffic control scenarios, adding manual and autonomous vehicle operations.
As a component of this process, a virtual dual checkbox is also established on the LiDAR sensors port. This will allow those monitoring the port to understand the actual movement of people and vehicles around the port in real time.
For the cars themselves, the software company Unikie offers a “ranking formula. “The formula allows for exact and automatic vehicle control, even in densely populated or confined areas. The formula is facilitated through the public 5G network and the committed state-of-the-art knowledge center, which can ensure faster reaction times and real-time data processing.
This trial in Emden is expected to serve as a case study for the broader AutoLog project, demonstrating how automotive terminals can be made more automated and efficient.
