Background: The continuous growth of container ports and their associated ships, the growth in international trade and the associated oceanic cargo shipping, has required technologies that would improve ports’ capability to rapidly load and unload container ships. Dillard Industrial Logistics, a company with international experience moving both civilian and military cargo, has decided to design its own sh crane, capable of fulfilling its requirements and handling all but the largest cargo ships. To do so, the company has commissioned a large study of its experience in Allanea, Reichskamphen, and other nations, and designed a crane that would fit in both its own facilities and could be also sold on to civilian and military clients around the world.
Technology: The heart of the OrmTM quayside crane is, of course, its monobox lattice construction framework, enabling it to maintain heavy loads and minimize sway in some of the harshest winds, maximizing safety and reliability. The high-power electric trolley, combined with a powerful electric engine, allows for precise and quiet operation, which in turn maximizes reliabiltiy and driver comfort. Our cranes have shown 99.6% availability in early portside testing.
An all-electric crane is not only safer and more environmentally friendly - it also enables more precise control of the crane’s operations, improving productivity for the crane’s operator and for the port at large. (Emergency diesel drives for the hoist, trolley, and boom are installed, however these are not intended to be used in regular operations).
Combined, this capacity enables our crane to move up to 130 containers per hour with the tandem spreader. The crane is designed serve ships up to 75 meters wide, or roughly comparable to Malaccamax-sized vessels. Larger vessels can be partly serviced, but clearly the crane will not be able to fully reach all their contents.
Precision: The OrmTM crane is entirely electronically monitored. Sensors within all drives, the spreaders, and the pulleys enable the crane operator to be precisely aware, to the meter, of the location of every part of the crane relative to itself and relative to the ship and quay. Safety cameras mounted on the boom, the driver’s camera, and a single safety LIDAR back up these sensors, enabling multi-factor redundancy to remain regardless of weather conditions. Moreover, the OrmTM is equipped with hi-resolution scanner cameras enabling it to identify specific containers and compare their identification to ships’ manifests, work plans, and any national security records. (The spreader can be fitted with a radiation detector or sensors capable of detecting common NBC weapons traces or explosives).
The OrmTM crane’s software is fully compatible with the Jambhala Logistics Management System and can be fitted to other systems if desired. The spreaders are automated, minimizing the operator’s work load and maximizing response time.
Driver’s cabin: The driver’s cabin is spacious and fully climate controlled, equipped with a drive-by-wire joystick system for control of the crane, and can be linked by means of a secure LAN or secure Internet connection to the port office for monitoring troubleshooting or remote takeover. The driver’s cabin is equipped with full CBRN protection, and as such can be used in the harshest climates and within a military context, even under ongoing CBRN attack.
Troubleshooting and Monitoring: As stated, the crane can be connected to a local office for troubleshooting/monitoring purposes, and/or to a remotely located Dillards Industrial Logistics call center. All crane actions are logged at all times throughout its operation, enabling management, rescue services, or law enforcement authorities to review past actions as needed for investigative or educational reasons.
