Unlock your future with an open automation platform.

Kalmar Key addresses the current automation platform development constraints by opening its application interfaces to extend the capabilities of the Kalmar Terminal Logistics System (TLS). This will enable terminal operators to customise their automation deployments and allow third-party developers to provide their own offerings that are interoperable with the automation platform.

The advantage of using Kalmar Key

Kalmar Key provides a set of open application interfaces that will allow you to build a complete end-to-end automation solution that is exactly right for your business, using the Kalmar TLS as a common central platform. With Kalmar Key, you will be able to choose who you work with and adopt an agile way to further develop the capabilities of your equipment and software, possibly with third-party developers.

With an equipment-agnostic approach, Kalmar Key enables a vast range of new systems and equipment to be connected to the automation solution. Additionally, open interfaces enable a holistic view of data from multiple sources, allowing you to optimise your operations continually and with ease.

Equipment agnostic.

An integrated terminal automation platform with open interfaces allows you to integrate any new system and brand of equipment into your automation system with greater ease. You no longer need to have separate systems for each brand of equipment, but you can design an automation platform that can manage all your equipment.

Build the system you need.

As Kalmar Key provides open application interfaces you no longer need to develop closed systems with individual suppliers. This means you can develop an automation system in an agile way, customise and augment the solution with the required functionality and have a broader range of capabilities available to develop your system.

Build your own business ecosystem.

Kalmar Key’s open application interfaces allow you to choose your development partners. Technology development partners can integrate their products into the automation platform to extend the capabilities of the original system. A key benefit of open interfaces is they facilitate a joint ecosystem for continuous business development.

Holistic view.

By building an automation system platform with Kalmar Key you will be able to have a holistic view of your operations with data from multiple sources being aggregated into a single interface. This will enable you to make faster, more informed decisions that will have a positive impact on your operations.
