Reducing CO2 emissions, replacing diesel terminal trucks, ANT yard robot's eco-design and more...

ANT Yard Robots are set to revolutionise yard operations by replacing the diesel terminal trucks that currently dominate this space.

Deploying fully electric, autonomous ANT Yard Robots, significantly reduces CO2 emissions and other pollutants, contributing to cleaner air and a healthier environment. Lower fuel consumption and the elimination of idling further enhance the environmental benefits. One terminal truck emits up to 25 tonnes of CO2 annually, so widespread adoption of this technology can remove thousands of tonnes of CO2 from our atmosphere.

Reducing CO2 Emissions
with ANT Yard Robots

With tens of thousands of diesel terminal trucks used in yard operations today, the broader introduction of ANT electric robots will collectively reduce CO2 emissions by millions of tonnes per year. This substantial reduction will benefit the environment but facilitate the transition to electric machinery for heavy loads in port and terminal environments.

The shift to ANT Yard Robots aligns with the industry's increasing focus on renewable energy generation. The adoption of fully electric ANTs will enhance the overall sustainability of logistics operations. As more companies integrate renewable energy solutions, the positive collateral impact on the logistics sector will be profound, driving further advancements in eco-friendly practices.

By transitioning to ANT Yard Robots, the logistics industry can take a significant step towards a greener future, reducing CO2 emissions and promoting sustainable practices across port and terminal operations.

Impact of ANT Yard Robots

The ANT's eco-design approach significantly reduces environmental impact throughout the robot's lifecycle by incorporating sustainable materials, energy-efficient technologies, and innovative design strategies. One key aspect is the utilisation of advanced battery technology. For instance, by employing high-efficiency LTO batteries, the ANT Yard Robot minimises energy consumption and extends operational life, reducing the frequency of replacements and the associated waste. Moreover, these batteries can be designed for recyclability, ensuring that at the end of their lifecycle, valuable materials can be recovered and reused. This not only decreases the environmental burden of mining new resources but also mitigates the pollution typically associated with battery disposal.

Another crucial component of the ANT's eco-design is its lower overall weight, achieved through the cabinless form factor. This reduction in weight leads to less energy consumption during operation, particularly in tasks that require significant mobility and transport of payloads. For example, in logistics and warehouse environments, a lighter robot expends less energy moving goods, thereby improving energy efficiency. Additionally, the ANT's streamlined design minimises material usage and waste during the manufacturing process. Overall, the eco-design principles embedded in the ANT not only enhance its operational efficiency but also contribute to a more sustainable, environmentally friendly lifecycle from production to end-of-life disposal.
