 Autostore Scalability Test
TBA (leading Port & terminal consultants) have validated Autostore TOS.

It is crucial that TOS is fully prepared & tested prior to use.

How to ensure that this is the case when TOS not yet running at the terminal ?

TBA has developed emulation platform (ie virtual terminal platform). This platform is connected to
live TOS to test terminal :

•does it run smoothly and stable?

•does it support the target performance ?
•is my TOS prepared for peak scenarios?
•how will my TOS perform if our volume grows or
customer requirements change?
Testing TOS in virtual environment
 ABP is the UK’s largest port operator by tonnage, running 21 ports. It handles over 125
million tonnes of cargo annually.

Immingham is also one of Britain’s fastest growing ports. Located on the south bank of the
Humber – the UK’s busiest commercial estuary customers.
