Get the foundation for your future right. 

Building a new terminal, changing operational mode or renewing your current operations is a demanding and risky task, which is why you want a knowledgeable and experienced partner. Kalmar Terminal Design Services, with over 250 projects delivered globally over the last 15 years, provides a full range of design services to help you realise your ambitions and improve the capacity and flow of cargo through your terminal. With a full range of design services our team can help you get the foundation of your future right.

Get your project right, before breaking ground.

Together with the Kalmar Terminal Design Services team you will be able to look at different design scenarios that match your requirements, qualify your preferred layout with full operational and business case calculations and create simulations to validate the design. Together we will make sure your final design meets your investment criteria, giving you the best solution and design for your current and future operational needs.

Emulate

Emulation, best suited for automated terminals, delivers highly accurate results by using the actual production Kalmar One software and verified CHE simulators. Because it uses the production software, the results are very realistic. Emulation is an excellent first step in any automation project, and the environment can evolve into a testing platform for business process and third-party integration testing.

Visualize

Seeing is believing. A 3D model of the terminal in action provides clear insights, allowing you to effectively showcase your vision and gain immediate buy-in from key decision-makers. Additionally, the 3D model is invaluable for precise verification of physical dimensions, especially in constrained areas, and helps in understanding civil design requirements.

Electrification and energy management

How can charging stations be incorporated into the terminal footprint without compromising productivity and stacking capacity? The Kalmar team analyzes key inputs such as shift patterns, typical driving distances, traffic situations, and civil design limitations to ensure an electrification strategy that maximizes efficiency while minimizing energy consumption.

Investigate your options

Undergoing a major redevelopment project means you need to explore all terminal layout design options for your terminal footprint before deciding which one best meets your business objectives. The Kalmar team will work with you to review each option by preparing a high-level layout for each. An estimate of the terminal capacity for each layout will be calculated, enabling you to make a more informed decision.

Qualify your design

Identifying your preferred design is just the beginning. The critical next step is ensuring it meets its financial targets, including a favorable Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Once you’ve selected your design, the Kalmar team collaborates with you on an in-depth analysis and develops a high-level project plan. This plan incorporates detailed terminal capacity calculations and fleet size estimations. Leveraging this data, we build a comprehensive business case, including CAPEX, OPEX, and ROI analysis, giving you the insights needed to advance your decision-making process.

Simulate

Once you have your preferred terminal design and the financial numbers to support it, the Kalmar team can prepare a working simulation to validate the design as if it were fully operational. This interactive model allows you to simulate real-life scenarios and stress-test your design to ensure it meets all requirements before commissioning the build.
