Yard IT for container handling

Always On the Right Track

Konecranes RTG auto-steering Yard IT- positioning products and services improve worker safety and driver productivity. It keeps the RTG on a pre-programmed drive path, allowing the driver to focus on other tasks. Thanks to the precise auto-steering Yard IT- positioning products and services, container stack can be aligned with greater precision. This in turn permits greater stack density and helps to prevent collisions caused by loose, unpredicted stack configurations.

Yard IT ensures you accuracy 

Konecranes offers the most accurate and reliable RTG auto-steering system -Yard IT- positioning products and services-available in the world today. The combination of our dual antenna technology and our proprietary RAAS technology minimizes signal loss and provides a positioning accuracy of ±2.5 cm. Our GPS positioning system was developed specifically for RTGs. It provides crane heading monitoring in real-time, even when the RTG is standing still – something that single antenna systems cannot provide.

Efficient at every turn

The GPS technology used with our RTG auto-steering system can also be linked with your container positioning network. You can provide your drivers with a suite of productivity tools including Auto-Stop, Auto-Move, Auto-SlowDown and Auto-Grab.

• Twin dual-frequency DGPS receiver for accuracy and redundancy
•  Dual DGPS receiver antennas at each end of the RT G for accurate heading determination
•  Full integration with PLC systems including AC driver encoders
• Graphical Deviation Display in the operator cabin
• Automatic slow-down/fast ramp-down in case of excessive deviation from path
