コンテナクレーンの自動化(<小特集> インテリジェント・システム)

抄録

Rationalization for a container yard is achieved through the automation of both container yard management and handling machines, in which the automation of container cranes, has developed to correspond to the so-called IVth-generation container crane. However, the automation of container cranes has been mainly achieved slmost only about antisway control up to this time. We have developed the total automation system which works under the scheduled handling order given from the upper level computer. The system has such functions as not only antisway control but also positioning control, optimum route control, container stacking profile recognition, and management of operation. This paper explains the automated container crane system within the total management system of a container yard, and also proposses our policy for this in the future.
