Recognizing ZPMC's leadership in the port machinery manufacturing sector, the organizer invited the company to deliver a speech highlighting the prevailing trends in terminal automation and terminal intermodal transportation sectors. ZPMC executives specifically focused on the present and future advancement of automated rubber-tired gantry (ARTG) cranes. During the presentation, they elaborated on the fundamental concept behind ZPMC ARTG cranes, citing several of the equipment's outstanding achievements in port automation enabled by the effective utilization of robust data and the superior performance of the equipment.
