Autonomous Ports Vehicles

Autonomous Charging at Ports

Ports throughout the world are turning to autonomous electric vehicles to streamline operations and meet emissions goals. But as more ports electrify their fleets, there’s one critical step that’s often overlooked: charging. If an electric vehicle can drive itself, why can’t it charge itself too?  

Why is Autonomous Charging needed?

In ports, efficiency is everything. Improperly plugged in vehicles, damaged charging equipment, or an insufficient number of chargers can all lead to out of commission vehicles, which, in turn, can impact productivity. By automating the charging process, Rocsys closes the automation loop, ensuring vehicles are charged and ready to roll at a moment’s notice, creating a predictable and reliable ecosystem for electrification. 

Automating the charging process has numerous benefits:

• Simple Integration:
  Rocsys autonomous charging is design agnostic, easily accommodating different chargers and vehicle types without expensive retrofits to vehicles or charging infrastructure. 
• Safety First:
  Autonomous charging removes the need for on-site personnel to handle charging equipment in inclement weather, high-traffic areas, or other hazardous working conditions. 
• Opportunity Charging:
  Automating the charging process means fleets can charge in more locations throughout their operating area without having to return to a central charging location.
