科尼與長灘集裝箱碼頭簽署了一份合同，購買另外30臺科尼Gottwald自動導引車（AGV），這些設備將于2021年第四季度交付并于2022年第二季度交付使用。這份于2020年3月下達的訂單體現了科尼港口自動化舉措日趨拓展的強勁勢頭。

Konecranes has signed a contract with Long Beach Container Terminal for 30 additional Konecranes Gottwald Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) which will be delivered in Q4 2021 and commissioned by Q2 2022. The order, which was booked in March 2020, reflects the growing momentum behind Konecranes’ path to port automation approach.

科尼將通過這個分批訂單為第二個BES提供工程前期服務。集裝箱碼頭建設的最后階段即安裝第二個BES以確保冗余。最初BES的操作知識有助于改進設計。

In a separate order, Konecranes will provide pre-engineering for a second BES that will be installed for redundancy reasons as part of the final phase of the terminal’s construction. It will have an improved design resulting from operational knowledge drawn from the initial BES.

LBCT選用TBA集團提供的TEAMS設備控制系統（ECS）來管理車隊系統，優化路線，避免AGV車隊操作過程中出現鎖死情況。這一系統將予以更新，以展示不斷拓展的AGV車隊及其操作范圍。

LBCT uses the TEAMS Equipment Control System (ECS) from TBA Group to manage travel orders, optimize routes and avoid deadlock situations in the operation of the AGV fleet. This system will be updated to reflect the expanded AGV fleet and its expanded operational range.

“我們對于首批AGV車隊的性能感到非常滿意。新集裝箱碼頭的建設目前正在進行中，并預期于2022年第一季度完成。現在我們增加這一新車隊，也成為碼頭建設最后階段的一部分。科尼一直是出色的合作伙伴，這筆額外的采購反映了我們對他們致力于我們未來合作關系的信心。”

“LBCT is very pleased with the performance of our first fleet of AGVs. We will now be increasing this fleet as part of the completion of the final phase of the new terminal’s construction currently underway and scheduled to be finished in Q1 of 2022. Konecranes has been a fantastic partner and this additional purchase is a reflection of our confidence in their dedication to our partnership going forward.”
