April 2008 - APS has been awarded a contract from Mobile Container Terminal (MCT), a joint venture between APM Terminals and CMA/CGM, to install its Automated Gate System (AGS) at the MCT facility in Mobile, AL. The AGS solution combines the widely-deployed APS Gate OCR Portal with the new APS Driver Communication Kiosk. The introduction of the APS Kiosk is the latest addition to a continually evolving suite of products designed to helping its marine container terminal customers to improve their productivity and efficiency through automation. Once deployed, the AGS system will automate the entry and exit of trucks at the gates of the facility, reducing gate transaction time and enhancing throughput capacity. The kiosk will provide the added benefit of enhanced driver security by integrating the automatic reading and authentication of the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) card. APS will provide complete data integration to the MCT Host system.
