Tender Summary: PPA-166483

Objectives

The primary objective of this tender is to secure a one-time supply and programming service for specialized industrial display units required to support operational equipment at the Ngqura Container Terminal. The procurement is structured as a single, non-recurring acquisition rather than a framework or ongoing supply agreement.

Scope of Work

The contractor will be responsible for delivering and configuring ten (10) industrial panel units tailored to specific terminal machinery. The scope encompasses hardware supply, software programming, and system integration preparation to ensure immediate field readiness upon delivery.

• Supply of 10 industrial Tough Screen displays
• Full programming and configuration of each unit
• Integration preparation for Kalmar Rubber Tire Gantry (RTG) E-House control systems
• Delivery to the Ngqura Container Terminal site

Technical Requirements

• Product Type: Tough Screen Industrial Display
• Manufacturer: Siemens
• Part Number: 6AV2124-0GC01-0AX0 (SIMATIC Panel)
• Quantity: 10 units
• Configuration: Units must be pre-programmed and validated for operation within Kalmar RTG E-House environments
• Condition: New, factory-sealed, and accompanied by manufacturer documentation

Skills Requirements

Although not explicitly enumerated in the annexure, successful fulfillment necessitates demonstrated expertise in:

• Siemens SIMATIC HMI/panel programming, firmware updates, and parameter configuration
• Industrial automation and human-machine interface (HMI) design for heavy machinery
• Knowledge of Kalmar RTG control architectures and electrical house (E-House) operational protocols
• Factory acceptance testing (FAT) and quality assurance to guarantee plug-and-play deployment in port environments

Explanation of Technical Terms

• Tough Screen: A ruggedized HMI display engineered to resist dust, moisture, vibration, temperature extremes, and physical impact, making it suitable for demanding port and industrial settings.
• Kalmar Rubber Tire Gantry (RTG): Large, mobile gantry cranes mounted on pneumatic tires, commonly deployed in container terminals to stack, retrieve, and transport shipping containers across yard blocks.
• E-House: Abbreviation for "Electrical House," referring to the enclosed control cabin or cabinet that houses programmable logic controllers (PLCs), power distribution units, and monitoring interfaces that operate RTG cranes.
• Once-off Purchase: A single, discrete procurement event with no automatic renewal, framework status, or scheduled repeat deliveries.
