Case Study: DP World Southampton boosts port productivity with Honeywell Thor VM3

Honeywell’s Thor VM3 helps DP World Southampton boost operational efficiency

DP World Southampton, a major port operator in the UK, needed to maintain its position as the country's most productive port. Their challenges included maximizing the return on investment from their equipment, reducing operational costs, and increasing the uptime of their terminal vehicles in a harsh environment. They required a rugged, connected computing solution to provide real-time asset visibility and improve overall efficiency.

Honeywell addressed these needs by implementing their Thor VM3 vehicle-mounted mobile computers. The Windows-based solution allowed for simple integration and provided drivers with an easy-to-use touch screen and a customized navigation system. The remote turn-on feature meant drivers could be productive immediately. This Honeywell solution enabled the port’s fleet to operate at maximum efficiency, moving over 20,000 containers and loading thousands of lorries and rail freights daily, thereby maximizing their ROI and maintaining their leading productivity.
