[0176] Example: The need for onshore automation in an automated terminal

[0177] Rising vessel sizes and consolidation of routes have made competition among container terminals fierce. In the past decade alone, vessel size has nearly tripled from an average capacity of less than 4,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) in 2008 to a current average of up to 13,772 TEU on the Asia-North Europe trade route . The largest ship in the world is capable of holding 21,413 TEU, and there are currently 57 ultra-large container ships, each of which currently holds at least 18,000 TEU. In addition, with the continuous improvement of regulations and the trend of reducing emissions, the impact on the environment has become the focus of global attention. If container terminals are to attract larger ships and maintain a competitive advantage, they must increase terminal throughput and efficiency while reducing their carbon footprint. Onshore automation offers tangible solutions to achieve ...

Abstract

Systems and methods of generating landing solutions for containers onto landing surfaces using multiple measurement points generated by a measuring device or multiple measuring devices are described.In particular, methods of analyzing the plurality of measurement and from the analysis of the data, determining the location and orientation, in the container handling equipment's frame of reference,of where to place a shipping container onto a landing surface present within the equipment's workspace are described. This location can then be used by the equipment's automation system to automatically place the shipping container onto the landing surface without the need for human input, or relatively little human interaction or input. The systems and methods are applicable to operating in a landside transfer zone as well as outside such zone, and as such would be applicable to install on any container handling equipment which can land containers on equipment from above.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application relies upon and claims priority and benefit from the filing dates of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 590,443, filed November 24, 2017, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 626,990, filed February 6, 2018 , the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to the operation of container cranes such as those used in international transport. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods and systems for generating landing solutions for containers on vehicle chassis or other landing surfaces. Background technique [0004] Since the beginning of container shipping in 1955, the cargo shipping industry has worked hard to improve the efficiency of moving goods (http: / / www.worldshipping.org / about-the-industry / history-of-containerization). Beginning with the advent of the shipping container, it was not long be...
