 Robotic Container Yard

ABLAZE personnel completed the design and construction of a working scale model of a robotic container handling facility. The system manages and controls the movement of cargo containers throughout a shipping facility- from the time a container arrives at the container yard to the time it is placed onboard ship.

The system features traffic management, redundant collision avoidance systems, fail safe design, an expert system for placement of containers in the yard, a unique data management system that uses color graphics to display the entire yard, an efficient network control system and a number of autonomous mobile robots. The robots include a highly reliable end effector, infrared communications, accurate positioning, extensive mobility, speed control, and on-board collision avoidance.
