Port & Terminal Crane Solutions

Project Background The terminal's 8 existing RTGs were operated manually; drivers had to climb to a 16m-high cab, resulting in high labor intensity, recruitment difficulties, and inconsistent stacking accuracy. Solution - Automated remote-operation retrofit for 8 RTGs: laser scanning + machine vision for auto-alignment and spreader pose recognition - Centralized remote control room: 1 driver monitors 2–3 RTGs, labor cost ~60% lower - Hoisting upgraded to permanent magnet synchronous motor + regenerative drive, energy ~25% lower - New ECS interfaced with terminal TOS for automated job dispatching Results - Yard handling efficiency +30%; average berth time reduced by 1.2 hours - Rehandling rate 8%→3%; yard utilization +15% - Unmanned operation achieved, terminal OPEX significantly reduced
