As a new technical approach, a hydraulic and magnetic clamp device was attempted to realize a magnetic clamp crane system that uses 8 simultaneously actuating individual hydraulic cylinders. Through this approach, a Sr type of ferritic permanent magnet ($SrO{\cdot}6Fe_2O_3$), not the previously employed electro-magnet, was utilized for the purpose of lifting and transporting the heavy weighted and oversized curved steel plates used for manufacturing the ships. This study is aimed at manufacturing and developing the hydraulic magnetic clamp prototype, which is composed of three main parts - the base frame, cylinder joint, and magnet joint - in order to safely transport such curved steel plates. Furthermore, this research was pursued to conduct a performance evaluation as to the prototype manufacture and acquire the planned quantity value and the development purpose items. The most significant item for a performance evaluation was estimated for the magnetic adhesive force (G) and in this process, a ferritic permanent magnet (Sr type) with 3700~4000 G of residual induction (Br) and 2640/2770 Oe of coercive force (Hc) was utilized. In addition, other relevant items such as hoist tension (kN), transportation time (sec), and the applied load (Kgf) exerted on the hydraulic cylinders were also evaluated in order to acquire the optimum quantity value. As a result of the evaluation, the relevant device turned out to be suitable for safely transporting the curved steel plates.

Though the productivity increased by 50% as KBCT was the first to use ATC System in Korea, productivity is unlikely to be improved any longer because of unsatisfactory detailed automation technology development. Accordingly, the government embarked on 'high efficiency ATC technology development', but it is important to avoid overlapping with other advanced technology which is already developed, and to develop differentiated technology which has the way about it. To accomplish this, this paper suggested in-depth analysis about established domestic and overseas technologies, clear goal setting to achieve world-class level productivity, and rational development road map for success in technology development. Through this, as to the ATC automatization technology development, the ports of our country precedes in a competition with the ports of the neighboring country, and it will jump to the Northeast Asia Logistics-Hub-port and a role as growth engine for next-generation in our country will be played. In addition, the result of the technology development will become the standard of the performance evaluation of the relative technique of the domestic automated terminal, and will be leads the world in this field of technology.

The RFID technology has attracted much attention these days due to the far better efficiency than the bar-code and magnetic card system. As an important usage, the 433 MHz active RFID tag was already adopted to the container ports in the United States and Europe for container loading/unloading automation and equipment location. However, there is one problem to be solved for the complete automation. RFID readers support only the direct communication with tags within their RF communication range. Then there are a lot of containers and equipments such as crane, yard tractor, and forklift in ports; and because they are made of metal, they interfere the RF communication, resulting in the occurrence of the dead-zone. In the dead-zone, RFID tags cannot receive any signal from readers. There may be several solutions to resolve the dead-zone problem. Among them, this paper suggests the most economical solution where RFID tags in the dead-zone can communicate with readers via neighbor tags in the multi-hop manner The new RFID communication architecture should be carefully designed in order to maintain the compatibility with the previous standard. Our experiment shows that the proposed architecture works well even in the case where some tags are out of the RF range of reader.

This paper assessed the impacts of the specification of the yard, handling equipment, and operation approaches on the expected number of re-handles during the loading operation for empty containers. When the various types of empty containers from multiple shipping liners are placed in separate spaces from each other, then the storage space cannot be fully utilized. So as to increase the utilization of the storage space, empty containers from multiple vessel liners are stored together incurring additional re-handles during the loading operation. Several formulas are derived for the estimation of the expected number of handles, including re-handles, for empty container retrieval from a bay. Transfer cranes and top handlers are utilized as handling equipment and various retrieval strategies are examined. Numerical analysis was conducted to assess the effects of various designs and operational parameters of the container stacking yard on the expected number of handles.

Recently, studies on the integrity of rotating machines, such as gantry cranes, which are used in the shipbuilding industry, have been actively conducted. Gantry cranes are driven at relatively low revolutions per minute (RPM), are frequently operated and stopped, and are impacted by external environmental factors, such as shock and noise in the measurement data. The purpose of this study was to construct a replica of a gantry crane hoist used in indoor shipbuilding and analyze the acquired data for errors caused by the shift in operating conditions (RPM) and the change in the position of the data acquisition sensor. Consequently, we observed that the error caused by differences in sensor positions did not occur significantly under low operating conditions but occurred significantly under relatively high operating conditions. Thus, we determined that both the operating condition and position of the acquisition sensor affected the data acquired by the rotary machine.
