Container handling
Find out how teleoperated processes can maximize your flexibility and efficiency today.
Teleoperation eliminates idle times. A single operator can quickly switch between multiple terminal machines, controlling them only when they are in active operation.
Terminals are dangerous places. Teleoperated machines have no driver in the cabin nor does a driver need to leave the truck while it is being loaded or unloaded.
Clearing ships should be fast. Teleoperations can scale up to multiple driverless machines very quickly without having to call in a huge workforce.
Hover to turn your challenges into benefits with Fernride
Fast container handling requires a massive workforce, whereas loading or idle times limit the utilization of drivers and machines dramatically.
Teleoperation can buffer peak times and enable a single operator to control a fleet of (semi-)automated machines.
Although cranes and cargo tracking are already highly automated, AGVs lack the flexibility, which is why container handling is currently carried out manually by diesel-powered machines.
Teleoperation combines human skills and flexibility with the cost-efficiency of today’s (semi-)automated machines while maintaining full service reliability.
Terminals are hectic and dangerous places with a high risk of damage or severe injuries.
Teleoperation keeps humans in the loop but out of hazardous areas, such as container and terminal operations.

Fernride showcased its successful integration of a remote operation kit into a next- generation drive-by-wire YT tractor of industry leader Terberg on CENEX.
Frequently asked questions
No. Our teleoperated terminal tractors can seamlessly integrate into your running operations alongside manually driven trucks – which we’ll prove during the pilot phase. It is our shared mission to neither introduce new processes for driverless trucks nor lower the service reliability of your operations.
In our step-by-step approach to integration, we analyze your network coverage to ensure 100% connectivity between truck and teleoperator at all times. We even supply this infrastructure, if necessary.
Basically, we teleoperate within limited, fenced-in operational domains with low speeds. Depending on local authorities, teleoperation via connecting roads – e.g. between terminals – may be possible. Since teleoperation keeps humans in the loop, it will be deployed in public domains much earlier than fully autonomous vehicles.
Teleoperation takes the driver out of the truck. The operator controls the truck from a remote workstation that gives them a full driver-like perspective of the vehicle’s surroundings. Whether located on site or far away, the operator will have received extensive training on your site prior to operation.
We can partner up to enable a seamless transition towards automation while ensuring a 100% service reliability to meet your specific needs today and beyond.
