Under the brand name ACUNIS, AMOVA and Unitechnik Systems combine their know-how in the area of fully-automated air-cargo terminals.

The constantly increasing freight volume worldwide calls for new innovative solutions for the transport and storage of all kinds of goods. AMOVA’s decades of knowledge of steel and rolling mills technology has successfully been translated into the area of air-cargo handling.

ACUNIS realized the largest air-cargo terminal on the African continent, which was opened in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in June 2017. Another terminal is currently under construction in Nairobi, Kenya.

Container ports worldwide are facing numerous challenges: ultra-large container ships need new, efficient concepts for faster loading and unloading. Higher container volumes demand significantly more warehouse capacity and at the same time more terminal space. The productivity and cost-effectiveness of all operating procedures are important indicators in global competition.

AMOVA has developed an automated storage solution for the handling of ISO containers in container ports. The system consists of an automatic high-bay warehouse with 11 storage levels and direct links to waterside and landside loading.

The storage system offers maximum space utilisation of up to 3,000 standard containers per hectare with all the benefits of a fully-automated operation, such as energy saving and occupational safety. The system also supports all the necessary interfaces for intermodal transport – rail / road / barge.
