Global trade will be soon after the comprehensive automation come of age: major ports will be large area USES high automation and machinery, to reduce the artificial dry, and can move by processing large quantities of goods. New free trade agreement will promote further increases in terminal operations, but after once of port workers strike makes trade appeared to "intestinal obstruction". And substitute robots for most people, would significantly reduce the impact of strike for trade activities, at the same time, also can to save a high labor costs.

Global trade will be soon after the comprehensive automation come of age: major ports will be large area USES high automation and machinery, to reduce the artificial dry, and can move by processing large quantities of goods. New free trade agreement will promote further increases in terminal operations, but after once of port workers strike makes trade appeared to "intestinal obstruction". And substitute robots for most people, would significantly reduce the impact of strike for trade activities, at the same time, also can to save a high labor costs.

Many insiders agree that automation can improve the productivity and reliability of the terminal to cut Labour costs. And in the current economic environment, the ability of port is vital, in response to soaring trade, major cruise started arriving, the burden of port loading and unloading. U.S. analysts have estimated that the new technology can reduce the shipping time in Hong Kong, efficiency as high as 30%.

Port automation technology company TraPac members of the board of directors Peter stone says, "we have to maintain productivity and service the large ships."

For now, however, in the United States only four cargo terminal technology in use TraPac site. A small number of automated terminal in the port of Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

Goods supporters of the robot is under a new project this month, TraPac is near the port of long beach, Los Angeles port building an automated terminal for a long time. To cost more than $1 billion to complete the system can handle 3.3 million 20 feet container, nearly half of the port to the size of the volume capacity, this is a big bet for the future.
