Initial challenges
- Safety risks during loading: Using forklifts to load containers posed significant risks to both employee health and cargo safety.
- Slow and inefficient process: As demand for container transport grew, traditional loading methods could no longer keep up with the required pace.
- High labor costs: Each loading operation required multiple workers, driving up expenses and reducing efficiency.
With safety, speed, and rising costs becoming critical concerns, SIDMA STEEL partnered with SmartTEH to implement a more efficient and reliable container loading solution.
