Taking Operational productivity to new heights – The impact of Technology
What are the technologies that boost productivity and performance in ports?
Automation is a trend that has been picking up, especially available for larger ports and greenfields.
In the presentation I also highlight our very latest development in terms of automation, and this is available to smaller and existing terminals
I bring up some technologies available that boost productivity, and are actually at the same time as base for the automation.
And finally what are the benefits of automation and different automation alternatives?
A Few words about Konecranes
We are global company manufacturing lifting equipment, and having setup here in India, globally approx
For ports we have almost all different types of equipment, only not mobile harbour cranes and terminal tractors
Our sales last year was billion EUR
We are in over 600 locations and in about 48 countries,
We do also service and have more than 453,000 service contracts.
€ MILLION IN SALES
IN 2015
600 LOCATIONS WORLDWIDE
MAINTENANCE CONTRACTS
453,000 EQUIPMENT OF DIFFERENT MAKES

3. Impact of Technology in two operations models
Impact of Technology in two operations models
CFS OPERATIONS
From RST to BXH
From Conventional RTG tech features to Automation
MAIN OBJECT IS THROUGHPUT / TIME – Port Operation.
MAIN OBJECT IS COST/THROUGHPUT – CFS Operation.
COST MEANS BOTH CAPEX (RTG INVESTMENT) AND OPEX (OPERATIONAL COST)
PORT OPERATIONS

10. WE BROUGHT UP THE ECO - efficiency
COUNTERWEIGHTS
Another first in RTGs: counter weights
On average 25% lighter load with every lift

12. EFFECTIVE LOAD CONTROL INTEGRATED SWAY PREVENTION AND FINE POSITIONING
EFFECTIVE LOAD CONTROL INTEGRATED SWAY PREVENTION AND FINE POSITIONING
Positioning without moving the trolley or gantry
What are the other technologies that boost productivity, and are actually at the same time as base for the automation.
One is Effective load control. With that you gain optimal duty cycle in all operating conditions
Also you are able get more through put with less equipment – effeciency is not adding cranes, but getting more out of one existing crane.
This effective and active load control means
Quicker load positioning
Sway prevention with full load and with empty spreader
Not damaging any external objects, like containers, trucks etc.
Example: Moving container to the right

13. - Container Positioning - Autosteering - Container stack profiling
Positioning Solutions
- Container Positioning
- Autosteering
- Container stack profiling
Another example is positioning solutions, and from there as examples like:
Container positioning
Autosteering
Container stack profiling
These are utilizing DGPS technology and latest scanner technology
With Container positioning you gain 100% accurate yard inventory that is up to date
And it is in connection to Terminal operating system =TOS
You gain maximum speed/efficiency and no lost containers.
With Autosteering:
Eliminate Collisions
Constant accurate heading for gantry drive
Driver can focus on container handling and resulting more efficient crane operations
Container stack profiling is a safety feature, and preventing the driver to collade with container to stacked containers.

14. WHEN TO CONSIDER AUTOMATION
WHEN TO CONSIDER AUTOMATION
PROS
CONS
Implements more strict traffic control system and safety procedures
May impact on stacking density .
3. Civil works for ASC’s
Stability and Predictability in crane productivity, around the clock,
No influence on driver performance
Longer equipment life time due to controlled more gentle use
Better contolled processes which enables safety
A-RTG
Incremental approach possible
Adaptable yard layouts, also in the future
RTG way of operating can remain
Brown field applicable as well as green field
Now when considering automation, benefits are as follows
Stability of the crane productivity, 24/7
The driver skills and performanc does not have the same affect as in manual operation
Predictability of production
One very important aspect is long life time of the crane, since moves are optimized and gentle to crane
Yard operation process is more controlled and leads into better safety
Looking at specifically advantages in A-RTG’s
Lower investment costs, no civil works
Step by step approach is possible, eg. One stack at a time
Adaptable yard layout and variations to yard surface is acceptable
Traditional way of operating remains
Also Existing terminals can take A-RTG’s in to use
Some thing to consider:
Brings strict procedures to operations
Container slots and height of the container stack may be reduces depending on the yard surface
Civil works are needed for ASC’s

16. NOT JUST LIFTING THINGS, BUT ENTIRE BUSINESSES
NOT JUST LIFTING THINGS, BUT ENTIRE BUSINESSES
Summary:
There are several technologies available for boosting prodcutivity and performance.
A-RTG gives an alternative to excisting terminals to gain the benefit of automation.
Less civil works cost
Maximum productivity and predictability
Some of these technologies are as base on path to automation.
Main criteria today is to select the proper crane that can be equipped with automation, ready installed or retrofitted.
Then you are in any case prepared today for tomorrow’s need!
