International Sales and Service Mandate
DEEPLOCK and Jiugong Machine are independent legal entities that share technical resources and the DEEPLOCK brand. Jiugong Machine has authorized DEEPLOCK to provide sales and services for automatic twist-lock systems outside China. DEEPLOCK is led by Mr. Li Xuegang, founder of Jiugong Machine and inventor of the automatic twist-lock machine.
Global Development & Singapore Strategy
The automatic twist-lock machine prototype has been completed and has reached the industrial-robot stage. DEEPLOCK is now progressing commercialization and engaging global port operators and shipping companies in solution exchanges and business discussions.
Singapore is planned as DEEPLOCK's regional headquarters and a key R&D base for international business, technology cooperation, engineering deployment and regional operations. A potential NUS joint laboratory and PSA pilot remain under discussion and have not yet been finalized.
Market Competition Analysis
| Company | Country | Progress | Advantage | Disadvantage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DEEPLOCK | Singapore | Prototype complete; commercialization in progress | Integrated perception, robotics, control, scheduling and TOS connectivity | Deployment and service capabilities are being scaled |
| ALP | Germany | Single system incomplete | Semi-automatic | Secondary lifting |
| Kalmar | Finland | Single system incomplete | Semi-automatic | Secondary lifting |
| Lloyds | UK | Single system incomplete | Semi-automatic | Self-developed 4-axis, no lock storage, requires manual assistance |
| Ningbo Weilong | China | Single system incomplete | Semi-automatic | Requires manual assistance, poor versatility of lock fixtures, over 70 types of fixtures, low success rate of AI deep learning |
| RAM Spreaders | Singapore | Single system incomplete | Semi-automatic | Secondary lifting, not fully sealed |
DEEPLOCK differentiates through an integrated system covering perception, 3D positioning, robotic manipulation, coordinated control, scheduling, data traceability and TOS connectivity. Deployment performance should be validated against each terminal's operating requirements.
