Drivers of automation, Kalmar Putting innovation in automation More container traffic, larger vessels and shorter turnaround times drive the need to process more containers in less time and in less space. Combine this with the absolute requirement for safety, the need to reduce costs as well as ever stricter environmental regulations, and automation is the natural solution. In 1990 we were the first to introduce automatic stacking cranes, and we launched the first automated straddle carriers in 1993. We continue to lead the industry in equipment automation solutions, having delivered the...

Fit for purpose The automation of the brownfield TraPac terminal in Los Angeles, USA, is built around a fully decoupled process. The terminal combines three automation concepts: perpendicular and parallel ASC stacks and a diagonally placed AutoStrad stack. TraPac remains fully functional during the upgrade process. The latest terminal designs combine a range of the leading container handling technologies. As a result, the benefits of automation are accessible for both greenfield terminals and existing brownfield terminals. The transition from a manual to partial or full automation terminal...

AutoStrad terminal The ease of automation Realising an AutoStrad terminal can be simple, low-risk and achieved within a relatively short time frame. Only a single piece of equipment is required for the automation of your quay, stack and landside operations. Automation has a positive impact on your terminal operations overall: automation means longer servicing intervals and fewer lost-time injuries, while avoiding the need for line markings and night-time lighting. Added value Straddle carrier operations are typically suited for midsize terminals. When increased volumes require a higher...
