Tiivistelmä
During recent years, the amount of software in container handling equipment has increased and automation has a greater role in container terminal operations. Automation systems must be able to constantly adapt to changing environments and container operator requirements. In addition, it should be possible to monitor the state of the system in order to confirm that it has adapted to the new configurations correctly.
The focus of this thesis is on the configuration management of UniQ which is a data distribution framework developed by Cargotec Finland Oy. Within this thesis, a new piece of software, called UniConf, will be introduced for editing the configuration files of UniQ. UniConf allows users to edit configuration files with graphical user interface. UniConf can also validate the configuration files and create necessary installation packages so that configuration files can be installed into container handling equipment.
To accomplish distribution of configuration files, existing configuration distribution systems are studied herein. This research has been done by studying manuals and other documentation offered by manufacturers of configuration distribution systems. The study focuses on the most crucial aspects concerning configuration distribution for container handling equipment.
