ESL’s President, Michael Hellmers, is proud to be speaking at 2015 TOC Americas in Panama. On Tuesday, October 13th, Hellmers will be presenting during the Tech TOC seminar that focuses on Managing New Terminal Power & Data Requirements. “As port equipment gets faster, larger, more automated and more connected, power and data transmission needs are changing. The trend to electrify cranes and mobile equipment continues to gain momentum, alongside hybrid power solutions, alternative ‘clean’ fuels and electrical shore power for vessels, driven both by environmental legislation and corporate social responsibility. At the same time, the ability to transmit large quantities of real-time data and video is increasingly becoming a standard requirement. Speakers will explore new concepts being developed and new solutions being implemented today.” – www.tocevents-americas.com
