APS Background

APS is a leading global supplier of OCR and process automation solutions that improve a facility’s cargo visibility, velocity and volume.  Our systems enable marine and intermodal container terminal operators to streamline their operations by automating unsafe, ineffecient and expensive manual processes within gate, vessel, rail and yard operations.  Since our founding in 2002, our solutions have helped to automate the processing of over 60 Million container transactions.

Our experience includes the execution of more than 700 successfully integrated systems installed at over 35 marine and intermodal container facilities in 10 countries around the world.  Our customers range from the largest global terminal operators and the U.S. Department of Energy to small private container yards including APM Terminals, CSX Railroad, DP World, Hyundai, Mitsui OSK lines, and HHLA.

Starting at the requirements phase, our design team establishes project specifications, operational parameters and site-specific information. Using this information, the APS team strives to develop a truly integrated solution that meets or exceeds your operational, performance, scheduling, and budgetary objectives. 

APS Technology’s extensive industry knowledge and expertise provides us the ability to offer “turnkey” solutions that streamline project timelines and minimize customer resource requirements.  Leveraging our global network of sales and support partnerships we can take your project from planning stages right through to the implementation and ongoing support.
