Indonesian terminal purchases automated RTG crane

Содержание

The RTG crane is supported on pneumatic rubber tires and can walk freely on the cargo yard, so it has high flexibility. This allows it to easily operate at different locations on the dock and adapt to different operating needs. Compared with other types of cranes, RTG cranes require less initial investment and require relatively lower foundation foundations. This allows the terminal to save costs when introducing equipment and reduce the need for infrastructure modifications. Dongqi Crane can provide customers with general-purpose RTG cranes, but in this case, the Indonesian terminal purchased RTG cranes with a high degree of automation. We hope that through case analysis, Dongqi Crane can learn more experience and also allow customers to have a deeper understanding of various types of crane products.

Benefits of using automated RTG cranes

In response to the need to improve the automation level of its key terminals, a terminal company in Индонезия chose a crane company as a partner to provide a complete automation system. This decision was based on the crane company’s professional experience and successful cases in the field of automated terminal solutions.

Then, the crane company provided an automated solution including 9 automatic RTG cranes based on the needs of the Indonesian company, and promised to deliver them to the Central Java operating terminal Petikemas Semarang (TPKS) by the end of 2016. The conclusion of this order is based on the mutual understanding of the development trend of automated terminals and the recognition of Konecranes Group’s technical strength.

During the order execution process, the crane company maintained close communication with the Indonesian company to ensure the smooth installation and debugging of the system. The crane company's professional team provides comprehensive technical support and training services to help Indonesian companies successfully realize the automation upgrade of the terminal.

The role of automated RTG cranes on terminals is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Improve operating efficiency: Through its automated functions and efficient operating methods, automated RTG cranes can significantly improve the terminal's container handling capacity and speed up cargo turnover, thereby meeting the needs of shipping company customers.
Improved safety: Through automated operations, errors and accidents that may be caused by human factors are reduced, thereby improving operational safety.
Increase production stability and predictability: Automated RTG cranes make terminal operations more stable, reducing production fluctuations caused by human factors. It also improves the predictability of operations, allowing terminals to better plan and arrange operations.

Чему мы можем научиться из этого

The RTG crane involved in this case has a higher level of automation. Judging from the description, Dongqi Crane is not yet able to provide RTG cranes of the same level. From a long-term development perspective, the inability to provide automated RTG cranes may mean that Dongqi Crane has deficiencies in technological innovation and product development. This will affect the company's ability to sustain development and future competitiveness.

However, this does not mean that Dongqi Crane has no chance to change this situation. The company can gradually develop automated RTG cranes to meet market demand by increasing investment in R&D, introducing advanced technology, improving product innovation capabilities. At the same time, the company can also consider cooperating with companies with automation technology to jointly develop new products to enhance its market competitiveness.
