Israel Aerospace Industries Robotic Container Management & Storage System

Friday, 27 November, 2015 | Supplied by: Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd


Israel Aerospace Industries has introduced the Robotic Container Management & Storage System (RCMS), an autonomous solution for container management and storage in ports.

The system offers a flexible solution for minimising storage operations. Containers are mounted on low-cost robotic carts that move on robotic elevators. The robotic carts and elevators increase throughput and enable optimal use of all available storage areas.

The command and control centre uses algorithms to provide constant, autonomous supervision augmented by human operators.

The system is energy efficient and reduces greenhouse emissions, offering increased operational efficiency and cost savings. It can reduce up to 50% of the volume at a port and lessens the need to drain the sea during port construction. Containers can be loaded and unloaded 1.5 times faster than they are currently and the system has the option of cancelling the shuffling (or rearrangement) of containers, which reduces profits and hinders the loading and unloading process.
