Club of what? This seems to be semi automated while the one in China claims to be fully automated.

  Nope. China video says 9 people per ship instead of about 60 before. It's essentially the same technology, in similar scale. And that artificial intelligence is just BS marketing speech for some clever software, nothing special.

    Right I suspected so, thanks for debunking

      No problem. edit: btw. there are countless tv-documentaries about different parts of the operations of that part of the harbour. One very essential thing is the planning and sequence of the unloading and reloading/stacking of the containers, according to weight, freight manifest, reefer connections, and destination on the line/relation. (In German, OFC) That part would be a prime candidate for 'AI'. Still done by humans, so far.

    Yep. 99% of “AI software” is just ordinary logistics/optimisation software with a marketing spin.

  Not the GP but while it’s fully automated it is worth mentioning that there are still some - minimal - staff. “ He said it used to take about 60 workers to unload a cargo ship, but the automatic port requires only nine. What's more, the upgrade has essentially changed it from a blue collar task into a white collar one. Workers used to operate the machines in sky-high cranes, but now much of the work has been left to a computer in the office.”
