Elevating Shipyard Performance for AutoMar
Our Digital Twin team optimized yard operations for a logistics leader with simulation-driven machine allocation.
AutoMar Logistics is a leading provider of transportation and logistics services, specializing in the efficient movement of goods for global trade. Their expertise includes route planning, vehicle scheduling, cargo handling and shipment tracking, all designed to deliver goods reliably, cost-effectively and on time. At one of their key Mediterranean ports, AutoMar manages a busy container yard critical to keeping international shipments moving smoothly.
AutoMar’s container yard is a vital link in their logistics chain, where efficient coordination of machinery is essential to keeping ships on schedule and goods flowing. While their existing fixed allocation of yard machinery performed well, AutoMar saw an opportunity to explore whether a more dynamic approach could deliver even greater results.
Leveraging AnyLogic Simulation Software, our team designed a highly accurate simulation model of their operations, incorporating actual workflows and real-world constraints. We tested their current fixed allocation strategy and compared it to a dynamic, demand-driven allocation scenario. The simulation revealed that the dynamic approach significantly reduced ship loading times, improving overall yard efficiency while making better use of resources.
With a clear plan backed by data, AutoMar is enhancing its ability to deliver reliable, timely logistics services for global customers while optimizing resources on the ground. By validating these insights through simulation, AutoMar was able to move forward with confidence, ready to implement changes that enhance their operational excellence and customer service.
At IndX, we combine industry expertise with advanced simulation technology to help logistics leaders like AutoMar uncover new efficiencies and strengthen their operations. Our collaborative approach and proven methodologies ensure customers can make informed decisions that drive measurable improvements — without disrupting their day-to-day operations. We’re proud to support AutoMar in their ongoing mission to deliver world-class logistics.
