TEUN B.V 2009 - 2010

TEU is another word for a container and stands for Twenty-feet Equivalent Unit. It's a standard unit for describing a ship's cargo.

TEUN is an overall concept, based on a smart, unmanned machine, the PIQR-one. This concept has been developed to provide a solution for the often complicated, labour-intensive and expensive methods being used to unload containers. TEUN takes care of the whole process, from checking and registering the products to the palletizing, wrapping and labelling. Thanks to the smart vision system, even the customs inspection can be handled by TEUN. TEUN can also attend to vapour measurements and provide a vapour-free statement.

For us as a 3D team Cinema 4D 11,5 including the new MoDynamics arrived just in time. We've had a lot of fun throwing containers and boxes with the right dynamics.

Project TEUN has been nominated for the Logistica Award 2009 and won the popular votes price, leaving the competition far behind.
