Product catalog summary
Introduction
Kalmar AutoRTG offers solutions to enhance the efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness of rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) cranes through automation. This document outlines the benefits and implementation strategies for automating RTGs in container terminals.
Challenges in Terminal Automation
Container terminals face challenges such as increased traffic, safety demands, cost reduction, and minimizing operational disruptions. Automation is presented as a solution, though it must be implemented incrementally due to existing operations and labor contracts.
Benefits of Automated RTGs
  • Cost Reduction: Automation allows one operator to control multiple RTGs, reducing labor costs. Automated systems ensure precise container placement, minimizing errors.
  • Safety: Automation enhances safety with systems like anti-collision technology, reducing the need for personnel in the yard.
  • Ease of Implementation: Automated RTGs are cost-effective compared to automatic stacking cranes, with lower infrastructure costs. A step-by-step roadmap allows for flexible deployment with minimal disruption.
Technology and Integration
Kalmar's RTG automation system uses proven technology and components shared with automatic stacking cranes. Additional solutions like AutoShuttles™ and SmartPort can further extend terminal automation.
Automation Roadmap
  • Remote Control: Options range from fully automated systems with remote-controlled truck handling to semi-automated functionalities.
  • Automatic Functions: Includes automatic steering, gantry, trolley, hoist movements, and container positioning.
Conclusion
Kalmar provides a comprehensive range of cargo handling solutions, emphasizing energy efficiency and seamless integration of terminal processes. The document highlights Kalmar's leadership in terminal automation and its global impact on container handling.
