Industria

"Brillante" iniziativa della Kalmar

La Kalmar ha costituito una nuova unità produttiva dedicata, vale a dire la Kalmar Intelligence and Automation, al fine di concentrare la propria attenzione sulla commercializzazione e sullo sviluppo delle caratteristiche "brillanti" di tutti i tipi di equipaggiamento per la movimentazione di contenitori, di sistemi integrati e di manutenzione a distanza.

Alla guida della nuova unità, che ha sede a Tampere, in Finlandia, c'è Jorma Tirkkonen, che, prima di questo incarico, è stato otto anni negli Stati Uniti in qualità di presidente della Kalmar Sales Company per le Americhe.

Oltre al marketing ed alle attività inerenti a ricerca e sviluppo, tra le responsabilità della nuova divisione vi sarà l'implementazione dei progetti di automazione ed il supporto alla clientela 24 ore su 24/7 giorni su 7.

La Kalmar, unitamente alla Patrick Stevedores di Brisbane, in Australia, sta lavorando all'ulteriore sviluppo del primo terminal dotato di straddle carriers completamente automatizzate. Gli attuali prodotti intelligenti offerti dalla Kalmar comprendono lo Smartrail autosterzante e la verifica della posizione del contenitore per le RTGs; lo Smartpath, che è un sistema di verifica della posizione delle straddle carriers e delle RTGs; infine, l'Interfaccia Macchina a Distanza, un sistema di monitoraggio e manutenzione per tutte le macchine di movimentazione ed i trattori computerizzati della Kalmar. Tutti questi macchinari vanno ad aggiungersi alle gru impilatrici automatiche offerte dalla società.

La Kalmar ha altresì annunciato l'acquisizione della Peinemann Kalmar CV e della Peinemann Kalmar Rental BV dalla società-madre Peinemann Group nei Paesi Bassi. Le due società acquisite saranno denominate Kalmar Nederland e Kalmar Rental e continueranno ad operare dalla medesima località di Hoogvliet nel Porto di Rotterdam.

La Kalmar afferma che questa iniziativa è attinente alla propria strategia di dare impulso al proprio impegno diretto nelle vendite e nel servizio all'equipaggiamento terminalistico, mentre la Kalmar Rental continuerà a sviluppare le attività di affitto e gestione della flotta.

La Kalmar ha inoltre aperto un centro di addestramento a Shekou, in Cina, allo scopo di dare una mano alla propria clientela asiatica in ordine all'addestramento sulle proprie attrezzature portuali.

Il centro, ad un'ora di distanza da Hong Kong, fornirà addestramento sia teorico che pratico e comprende due copie di sistemi di controllo per gru a cavaliere ed impilatrici di contenitori. Possono frequentare le sessioni di addestramento quaranta allievi alla volta; nel centro vi sono tre aule ed un laboratorio.
