By virtue of information technology enhancement, many efforts to raise port competitiveness through an advanced operation system are actively being made, and judging from the viewpoint of investment effect, these efforts are more preferable than infrastructure expansion and additional equipment acquisition. Based on simulation, this study has tried to prove that RFID-based real-time location data
... [Show full abstract] collection and dynamic operation of transfer equipment brings a positive effect on the productivity improvement and resource utilization enhancement. Also, our researches on the demand for the real-time data for port operation have been made, and operation processes have been redesigned along with the collection of related data, and based on them, simulations have been conducted. As a result of them, about 25% of productivity improvement has been realized.
