Automatic Stacking Crane System BUILD SYSTEM SOLUTIONS WITH US

Automatic Stacking Crane System Past years have seen the rapid growth of container throughput. At the same time the vessels have increased in size. Additionally competition among ports puts further pressure on their management. Productivity and efficiency rule the target setting, as overall performance is constantly being measured. With heightened financial and performance expectations, old and new ports alike need to consider their layouts and equipment, but also need to pay attention to the increasing requirements for sustainable operations. ADAPTING TO AUTOMATION EASILY Typically In a...

Automatic Stacking Crane system Automatic stacking cranes (ASC) are rail-mounted cranes used for yard-stacking and in-stack transportation of containers. ASCs deposit and pick up containers from dedicated interchange areas located at both ends of the stack. The Kalmar ASC+ system is controlled and monitored by Kalmar TLS (Terminal Logistic System) software functions. THE MODULAR KALMAR ASC SYSTEM BENEFITS The Kalmar ASC system features modularity In every aspect of the design, uses leading technology to equip terminal operators with an extremely productive and sustainable solution. It can...

supervising personnel are only required to remotely monitor the operational processes. The Kalmar ASO system enables consistent quality regardless of external factors such as weather conditions, with sharply restricted potential for human error. Highly secured operations and fully Integrated systems minimise unexpected Interruptions and maximise safety. SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS Kalmar ASCs produce highly minimal noise and emissions with little maintenance required, as they are electrically powered with AC drives. With the modern Active Une Module system, regenerated power Is fed back to the...

The modular KaImar ASC system The modular Kalmar ASC system consists of five (5) main modules. The ASC block level consists of the container stack, waterside (WS) interchange area, landside (LS) interchange area and cranes, and the fifth terminal module includes all centralised systems needed for all blocks. Cargotec is able to advise customers on the terminal layout and equipment planning and provide further details of modular ASC system technology in CONTAINER STACK (Module 1) Automated operations take place in a secure, fenced stacking area and are controlled by Kalmar block control...

WS INTERCHANGE AREA (Module 2) A container is fed from the vessel to the ASC block through the WS interchange area. The WS interchange area is typically provided with four independent shuttle carrier lanes, allowing several vehicles to operate simultaneously. Safe vehicle access is ensured by a high-tech virtual gate with integrated traffic light control system in the event of manned operation. The unique unmanned concept of ASC and Kalmar Autoshuttles™ decouples vessel and yard operations, thereby maximising both ship-to-shore and yard crane productivity. By using intelligent Kalmar TLS...

LS INTERCHANGE AREA (Module 3) The landside module ensures safe and efficient handling of all possible horizontal transports systems, such as road trucks, terminal chassis and straddle carriers. Cargotec is able to automate landside operations to an optimised level In each case. This level may depend on factors based on, for Instance, local safety regulations, the Interpretations of safety authorities, and the modality of the road truck trailers In use. Typical solutions for landside operation are video-aided remote control desk functions or a truck driver's local control functions, aided...

Since 1990, Cargotec has supplied three different generations of ASCs for the container terminal in Rotterdam. Operation has been extended to more than 120 Kalmar ASCs running fully- automated 24/7. Waterside operation Is fully automated, landside operation is handled with manned straddle carriers. Since 2010, fourth generation Kalmar ASCs have operated at container terminal Burchardkal (CTB) In Hamburg, Germany. Phase 1&2 delivery will consist in total 8 ASC blocks, 24 ASCs along their automation and control systems. Conventional yard storage straddle carrier operation is converted to ASC...
