科尼与长滩集装箱码头签署了一份合同，购买另外30台科尼Gottwald自动导引车（AGV），这些设备将于2021年第四季度交付并于2022年第二季度交付使用。这份于2020年3月下达的订单体现了科尼港口自动化举措日趋拓展的强劲势头。

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.

科尼将通过这个分批订单为第二个BES提供工程前期服务。集装箱码头建设的最后阶段即安装第二个BES以确保冗余。最初BES的操作知识有助于改进设计。

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选用TBA集团提供的TEAMS设备控制系统（ECS）来管理车队系统，优化路线，避免AGV车队操作过程中出现锁死情况。这一系统将予以更新，以展示不断拓展的AGV车队及其操作范围。

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.

“我们对于首批AGV车队的性能感到非常满意。新集装箱码头的建设目前正在进行中，并预期于2022年第一季度完成。现在我们增加这一新车队，也成为码头建设最后阶段的一部分。科尼一直是出色的合作伙伴，这笔额外的采购反映了我们对他们致力于我们未来合作关系的信心。”

“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.”
