The Solution

A cobot to support the loading process of tankers

The Cobot supports you in optimizing the following target values:

  • Increasing efficiency by reducing the amount of work and time required
  • Physical and mental relief for staff during the loading process
  • Increased process reliability and reduced susceptibility to errors
  • Reduction of risks to the environment
  • Information technology networking with other systems


On September 4, 2023, the test center for innovative port and handling technologies (HaFoLa) will be officially opened at the DST - Entwicklungszentrum für Schiffstechnik und Transportsysteme e.V. site in Duisburg.

For the development of the semi-automated cobot, the corresponding tests will be carried out at HaFoLa from fall 2024 on a scale of 1:10.

The Cobot will be presented on this page in detail as the project progresses.
