Automation of spreader operation in handling large size containers at ship’s list and trim

Current development of IT technologies makes it possible to automate production processes in the transport industry. Introducing automated systems helps reduce downtime vehicles under loading and unloading operations. Handling various loads or specializing a certain cargo flow, terminal operator selects lifting equipment degree its automation. Automation has been most developed at container terminals, because as unit dimensions, metal surface reflects signals distance sensors mounted on handling device (spreader). During experiments, was found out that signal ultrasonic is reflected from ice, which can form winter, laser show container. Installation working cycle time equipment, likelihood damage Loading operations ships have their own specifics. In case roll /or trim, difficult point spreader container, leads an increase cycle, therefore, idle vessel processing. To solve problem reducing when with trim vessel, laboratory sample mechanism for stabilizing relative developed. The stabilization operates according following algorithm: goes microcontroller, compares then transmits actuator, stabilizes parallel proposed will productivity trim.
