A project launched by Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) and Fraunhofer CML is trying to find a way to use mobile robotics to automate the process of container pin handling in rail processing. This procedure, which still needs to be done manually, will speed up thanks to a mobile robot using a gripper arm. HHLA and the Fraunhofer Center for Maritime Logistics and Services CML are committed to making the port logistics systems suitable for mobile robotics within two and a half years.
