In Los Angeles, robots are replacing people In the World : Vladim

A new phase of the industrial revolution has already begun in Los Angeles. The TraPac terminal in the port city people have replaced robots. As long as they perform the functions of loaders: lift and carry five-ton loads.

Mechanisms put the goods on each other, and then move them to the approaching trucks. All this happens without human intervention. TraPac uses of robots in the experiment, which joined the port in long beach. Artificial intelligence experts decided to draw because he most effectively can respond to the growth of loads in the field of shipping and to cope with them. Experts faced a 30% time savings when automated the whole process – refused the services of a crane operator and forklift operator. Also in the case of robots, the containers can be placed more tightly.

Despite the high efficiency, the process of replacing people with robots requires high initial cost of two million dollars per acre. These figures were announced by the Director of the port of Los Angeles gene Seroka. But for the port of long beach automation will require investments in the amount of $ 1.3 billion At the same period when the costs will pay off is unknown.

Automation ports “brake” not only higher costs. Dust possible investors cooled and the American trade unions in this country have more authority. Investors fear that profit will not be sufficient, because I prefer the terminal European and Asian sample.
