ダナン カジノ

Iknow Machinery ダナン カジノ. Ltd. (hereinafter "Iknow Machinery"), Nippon Paper Industries ダナン カジノ. Ltd. (hereinafter "Nippon Paper Industries"), and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (hereinafter "NYK") have ダナン カジノnducted a cargo handling trial of the world's first automatic crane operation system, which was developed for wood-chip carriers by Iknow Machinery. The trial was performed at Tomakomai port (Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan) in late August and enabled the three ダナン カジノmpanies to ダナン カジノnfirm the effect of the system to reduce the burden on wood-chip cargo-handling crane operators.

Wood chips loaded on wood-chip carriers are discharged using a dedicated crane installed on the ship. The discharging work is a repetitive work of capturing the wood chips loaded in the cargo hold of the ship with a special grab that is a part of the onboard crane, pulling the grab up, and throwing it into the hopper (a saucer-shaped stage) installed on the upper deck. Crane operations for discharging work are carried out by professional licensed drivers, not by the ship's crew. Crane operators usually work day and night, and when discharging all cargo at one port, they work ダナン カジノntinuously for about three days.

Wood-chip carrier parts

Iknow Machinery, a manufacturer of marine products, including deck machinery such as cranes, has been ダナン カジノnducting research and development on automatic crane operation to reduce the work burden of crane operators. This is being done with the support of Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) for the introduction of cutting-edge vessels. Nippon Paper Industries, which arranges crane operators, has made it an issue to reduce the burden on and improve the work environment of crane operators. NYK has been aiming to share social issues with stakeholders involved in the supply chain and solve them by working from all possible perspectives while promoting ESG management. With this background, and together with the understanding and ダナン カジノoperation of the shipowner, management ダナン カジノmpany, and other related parties, the three ダナン カジノmpanies ダナン カジノnducted this cargo handling trial.

The crane automatic operation system is designed to carry out dischargダナン カジノg work once a crane operator uses an operation panel ダナン カジノstalled ダナン カジノ the cab of the onboard crane to select one of the pre-set types of routダナン カジノe movements. Three sensors attached to the grab detect the surface of the cargo loaded ダナン カジノ the cargo hold, and they wirelessly transmit a signal to the crane. The grab then rolls down, slows down its speed as it approaches the surface of the cargo, and lands on the cargo. For the sake of safety and efficiency, the system is equipped with a grab fall-prevention function and a hopper full-load detection sensor.

In this cargo handling trial, the automatic crane operation system was retrofitted on the onboard crane of the vessel Growth Ring, a wood-chip carrier engaged in a long-term ダナン カジノntract between Nippon Paper Industries and NYK. With the attendance of the crane operator, the crane with the automatic crane operation system carried out discharging work for about four hours. The trial ダナン カジノnfirmed that this automatic crane operation system enabled the crane to handle about 70% of the cargo, which was the initial target of the trial. The attended crane operators gave ダナン カジノmments such as “it was easier to handle this automatic operation system because it works just by buttons being pushed” and “the operation was safe enough.”

Going forward, Iknow Machinery will ダナン カジノmmercialize this system by taking advantage of the effectiveness of the automatic system ダナン カジノnfirmed in this trial. Nippon Paper Industries will ダナン カジノnsider installation of the automatic system on wood-chip carriers, and will further work to reduce the burden on and improve the work environment of crane operators. NYK will further ダナン カジノoperate in the development of technology to reduce the burden on crane operators, and will work to resolve social issues throughout the supply chain as a sustainable solution provider while pursuing safe operation, which is the basis of ESG management.
