Abstract

International major container terminals are trying to expand automation facilities in order to dominate the competition and grow as central harbors. Recently, system design and development were put underway to fully integrate automation systems in container terminals. This is because it can focus on improving the efficiency of the yard operations in container terminals and facilitates integration with other container terminal operation processes. Automation in the container terminal business today is essential to better serve customers and improve profitability. Real-time position and status of container handling equipment (CHE) have been required for more efficient terminal operations and consequently higher productivity. This study examined the real-time location and status of the container terminal automation equipment using DGPS in container terminals, and reviewed the components and functions of the container terminal automation yard equipment systems that developed, applied, and operated the automation systems. In addition, this study compared the existing yard system and the automation yard system and presented application methods. Also, the results revealed that the productivity of the container terminal and the efficiency of the transportation equipment can be further increased when the optimal yard automation transportation equipment system is used to efficiently operate the transportation equipment, which is the core equipment of the container terminal.

세계 주요 컨테이너터미널들은 중심항만으로 성장하기 위해 치열한 경쟁 속에서 우위를 선점하기 위해 자동화 시설을 확충하는데 노력하고 있다. 최근 컨테이너터미널에서 자동화 시스템의 완전 통합을 위해 시스템 설계 및 개발이 진행되고 있다. 이는 컨테이너터미널의 야드 작업 효율성을 높이는 데 집중 할 수 있고 다른 컨테이너터미널 운영 프로세스와 통합이 쉬워지기 때문이다. 컨테이너터미널에서 자동화 시스템은 고객에게 더 나은 서비스를 제공하고 수익성을 향상시키는 데 필수적이다. 컨테이너터미널 가동을 보다 효율적으로 운영하고 결과적으로 생산성을 높이려면 Container Handling Equipment(CHE)의 실시간 위치와 상태확인이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구는 컨테이너터미널에 DGPS를 이용하여 컨테이너터미널 자동화 장비의 실시간 위치와 상태를 확인하고 자동화 시스템을 실제 개발, 적용, 운영하는 컨테이너터미널 야드 이송장비 자동화 시스템의 구성요소와 기능을 살펴본 후 실제로 적용하여 기존 야드 이송장비 시스템과 야드 이송장비 자동화 시스템을 비교 분석 및 적용방안에 대해 제시하였다. 또한, 컨테이너터미널의 핵심 장비인 이송장비의 효율적인 운영을 위해서 최적의 야드 이송 장비 자동화 시스템을 이용하게 되면 컨테이너터미널의 생산성 및 이송장비의 효율성을 좀 더 높일 수 있다는 걸을 알 수 있었다.
