News Release

DP World Antwerp Gateway為其位于比利時的安特衛(wèi)普集裝箱碼頭訂購了34臺自動化軌道吊，即科尼Gottwald自動化軌道式龍門起重機（ARMG）。這批起重機將是對目前正在運營的20臺自動化軌道吊的擴充。第一批起重機將于2022年第二季度交付，最后一批將于2026年交付。該訂單是在2020年12月訂購的。 

DP World Antwerp Gateway has ordered a fleet of 34 Automated Stacking Cranes (Konecranes Gottwald ARMGs) for its container terminal in Antwerp, Belgium. The cranes will be an expansion to the current fleet of 20 ARMGs currently in operation. The first batch will be delivered in Q2 2022, the last batch by 2026. This order was booked in December 2020.

DP World Antwerp Gateway非常積極地繼續(xù)推行他們目前的運營理念，使用Gottwald于2006年交付的自動化軌道吊（ASC）系統(tǒng)。借助新的ASC系統(tǒng)以及科尼Gottwald自動化軌道式龍門起重機，最新的自動化技術優(yōu)勢將得到充分利用。

DP World Antwerp Gateway was very motivated to continue their current operating concept, using their current ASC system delivered by Gottwald in 2006. With this new ASC system, featuring a fleet of Konecranes Gottwald ARMGs, the advantages of the latest automation technologies will be exploited.

“我們與科尼集團就碼頭的自動化擴展的各個方面進行了一系列深入的討論。最終，我們確信科尼集團可以提供我們所需的產(chǎn)品和服務。我們需要技術來持續(xù)運營現(xiàn)有的自動化軌道吊。我們想利用自動化技術的最新發(fā)展成果來提升貨物自動化裝卸能力及實現(xiàn)符合人機工程學的遠程操作?！?/p>

“We had a series of deep discussions with Konecranes regarding every aspect of our automation expansion at our terminal. Eventually, we were convinced that Konecranes could provide every dimension needed. We need technology continuation of our current ASC concept. We want to take advantage of the latest developments in automation technology. We will get improved automated truck handling and remote operation ergonomics.”

New ASC system 

科尼集團能保證技術連續(xù)性及創(chuàng)新。新的自動化軌道吊系統(tǒng)訂單將遵循Gottwald自動化軌道式龍門起重機設計理念，其最顯著的物理特征是用剛性導向架來進行集裝箱負載控制。他們已經(jīng)開發(fā)了一種新的起重小車設計，以支持增加的起升高度。新的設計將以科尼集團的成熟技術為基礎，并結合現(xiàn)有的混合動力系統(tǒng)在卡車底盤上自動著陸。

Konecranes is providing both technology continuity and innovation. The new ASC system order will follow the Gottwald ARMG design concept, the most notable physical feature being the rigid guiding beam for container load control. A new trolley design has been developed to support an increased lifting height. The new design will be based on Konecranes’ proven technology, with a hybrid of existing systems for auto-landing on the truck chassis.

作為項目的一部分，TBA將擴展碼頭現(xiàn)有的設備控制系統(tǒng)（ECS）。TBA設備控制系統(tǒng)高度靈活，且已經(jīng)經(jīng)過現(xiàn)場驗證，能夠可靠和高效地在各種自動化集裝箱裝卸設備和碼頭操作系統(tǒng)（TOS）以及設備組合上運行。

As part of the project, TBA will extend the existing Equipment Control System (ECS) used at the terminal. The TBA ECS is highly flexible and field-proven, able to operate reliably and efficiently across every type of automated container handling equipment and every Terminal Operating System (TOS) and equipment combination.

新的科尼Gottwald自動化軌道式龍門起重機的堆垛高度為1過6，最大跨度為9排集裝箱，堆放密度極好。

The new Konecranes Gottwald ARMGs will stack containers 1-over-6 spanning 9 container rows, providing excellent stacking density.

科尼集團還將提供港口服務。這將是對當前服務等級協(xié)議（SLA）的擴充，其中將包括軟件更新服務。

Port Services from Konecranes will also be part of the delivery. There will be an extension to the current Service Level Agreement (SLA), which will include software updates.

這是科尼集團港口自動化舉措的一部分，集裝箱碼頭以可管理的步驟提高生產(chǎn)率和安全性。從智能功能到全自動化，走港口自動化舉措包括監(jiān)督操作和遠程操作，以便順利實現(xiàn)自動化。該舉措適用于所有集裝箱裝卸設備品牌。全自動化可能是最終目標，但未必一定是。靈活性才是關鍵。

This is part of Kone?cranes’ path to port automation, where container terminals improve productivity and safety in manageable steps. From smart features up to full automation, the path can include supervised operation and remote operation to smoothly introduce the power of automation. The path to port automation applies to all container handling equipment brands. Full automation can be the final goal but it doesn’t have to be. Flexibility is the key.
