SANY Marine Heavy Industry (SMHI) has completed the delivery of automated Rail-Mounted Gantry (ARMG) cranes and Autonomous Container Trucks to Mawan Port, China.
Being ranked 29th in the CPPI 2020 Global Ranking of Container Ports, Mawan Port has been upgraded from a traditional bulk cargo terminal to a fully automated port with a solid support from a group of 26 SANY ARMGs, plus a feet of 18 autonomous SANY container trucks.
The renovation project involves the application of the SANY Smart Port Solution for Mawan Port’s berth No. 3 and No. 4, put into operation under the management of China Merchants Port.
The ARMG has a lifting capacity of 41 tonnes with an integrated operation efficiency of not less than 26 moves per/hour.
The ARMGs’ efficiency has also made it possible to achieve the high performance with its featured two-lane operation which can proactively identify the vehicles via the Vulnerability Assessment Scanning (VAS) system.
The dual-motor powered 12 tonnes autonomous container truck is equipped with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries with a traction capacity of 70 tonnes.
It features SANY SLAM positioning technology to achieve real-time location correction and map update with an efficiency record of 7.052 containers/hour per vehicle during the initial onsite test in December last year.
Through the establishment of China’s first ‘5G+ Autonomous Driving Application Demonstration Zone’, the SANY autonomous container truck has passed a total of 276 testing programs in the areas of the network foundation and the terminal operation to be able to put into the daily operation in Mawan Port.
