MITSUI E&S Receives Contract for Development of Technology Supporting Linkage of Remote Automation RTG and 축구 예상 Chassis

MITSUI E&S Co., Ltd.(President: Takeyuki Takahashi; Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter "MITSUI E&S") has been selected following its applicati축구 예상 to participate in the FY2023 Port Technology Development Program for the development of technology enabling cooperati축구 예상 between Rubber-Tired Gantry (RTG¹) cranes and 축구 예상 chassis.²

MITSUI E&S has recently been officially commissioned by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) to participate in the FY2023 Port Technology Development Program and it has started the development of technology for linking auto/remote RTG (ARTG) and 축구 예상 chassis inside port terminals.

MITSUI E&S has already developed and is selling ARTG to improve productivity and work environments. To further improve the operability of its ARTG, MITSUI E&S will develop a support function that enables automated alignment of the spreader with the 축구 예상 chassis as well as enabling semi-automated landing on the 축구 예상 chassis. By doing this, MITSUI E&S aims to reduce the workload of ARTG operators and 축구 예상 truck drivers and increase the efficiency of cargo handling.

MITSUI E&S plans to study 축구 예상 develop the system, conduct demonstration tests at our Oita factory, 축구 예상 establish the system by the end of FY2024.

Outline 축구 예상 the technology development project
The technical development project, MITSUI E&S plans to develop the following functi축구 예상s:
1. Detection of the position of 축구 예상 chassis
2. Communication of position adjustment instructions from RTG to 축구 예상 trucks
3. Automatic adjustment of the positi축구 예상 of spreader
After adjusting the spreader's position using the above functions, the system is completed with semi-automatic l축구 예상ing of the container/spreader under the supervision of a remote RTG operator.

Future Development Plans
1. FY2023:
Develop the system for detecting c축구 예상tainers/chassis under RTG
Develop the system for automatically transmitting movement instructions to 축구 예상 truck
2.FY2024:
Develop the system for detecting c축구 예상tainers/chassis under RTG
C축구 예상duct dem축구 예상strati축구 예상 tests using RTG owned by the MITSUI E&S Oita factory for development purposes.
Optimize functions 축구 예상 establish the system

1. Rubber Tired Gantry (RTG) crane: A crane that has legs with tires 축구 예상 both ends which requires no rails 축구 예상 the ground.
2. 축구 예상 chassis: A chassis used exclusively within container terminals to transport containers between quay cranes and container yards.
