Abstract

A communication arrangement for at least two container handling equipment CHEs is described, said at least two CHEs configured to operate within an area comprising a plurality of container spots arranged in a plurality of rows and columns, the communication arrangement for each of the at least two CHEs comprising: a first communication module configured to retrieve from a terminal operating systema plurality of jobs to be performed by the respective CHE within said area, said job comprising instructions to move a container and to identify a container spot of the plurality of container spots,the respective CHE being a first one of said at least two CHEs; a second communication module configured to communicate with at least another, second one of the at least two CHEs operating within saidarea, said communication with said second CHE being autonomous from receipts from the first communication module and / or manual triggering and configured to transmit a job sharing message to said second one of the at least two CHEs, said job sharing message indicating a job to be performed by the second one of the at least two CHEs, said job being a job of the plurality of jobs.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a communication arrangement for container handling equipment operating in a predetermined area, and to a communication method between at least two container handling equipment operating within a predetermined area. Background technique [0002] Operators of port facilities strive to optimize every aspect of container transportation while minimizing cost and environmental impact. A relatively new optimization proposal is to significantly reduce the service speed of large container ships, thereby also significantly reducing fuel consumption. To compensate for some of the time lost during voyages, owners and operators now urgently need container handling facilities or container terminals to operate even faster. [0003] Container handling capacity or the performance of a container terminal is usually limited by the operation of container handling equipment CHE (or CHEs in plural), and these are for example ship-to-shore ...
