Kalmar and Nokia expand upon partnership in terminal automation

Kalmar and Nokia are set to expand their ongoing collaboration to provide new solutions for ports and intermodal terminal operators seeking to automate operations and achieve greater productivity.

The two companies aim to combine their communications and cargo handling expertise in new joint go-to-market ventures, integrated solutions development and research collaboration.

The first of the new collaboration programmes will see Nokia and Kalmar incorporate Nokia 4G and 5G private wireless into offering development for use with straddle carriers, automated stacking carriers (ASCs) and rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) cranes.
