Smart Feature Retrofits
Proprietary GPS algorithms that accurately
and automatically guide the crane to the correct positions.
Auto-Steering Retrofit
Steers the crane into position, while the operator focuses on lifting; essential for ongoing automation. This technology can be applied to all Konecranes RTGs as well as other crane brands.
Benefits
- Prevent collisions caused by loose configurations
- Operator is focused only on accurate lifting and placement
- Prepares crane for further automation features
- Can initiate traverse turns in railyards
- More precisely optimized stack alignment for greater stack density
- Accurate, real-time heading at all times
- Option for additional reefer collision prevention
Auto-TOS Reporting Retrofit
Now every crane can count its moves, map the position of every load and interface directly with the TOS. This technology can be applied to all Konecranes RTG and RMGs as well as other crane brands.
Benefits
- Keeps TOS data up-to-date in real-time
- Process is invisible to the operator
- 100% accurate yard inventory
- Eliminates misplacing containers in the yard
- Tracks moves regardless of whether they follow TOS instructions, are diverted from them or are completely unauthorized
- Proprietary DGPS algorithms calculate centimetre level accurate GPS positions.
Auto-Truck Guiding Retrofit
Accurate truck positioning for faster truck handling and improved yard safety. This technology can be applied to all Konecranes RTGs as well as any other crane brand.
Benefits
- RTG can pick up or place container with minimum movement
- Reduced truck handling times
- Safer yard operations
- An alarm is sounded, and the hoist is stopped, if the system detects the truck cabin is in a dangerous position
- May reduce energy consumption due to reduced gantry movement.
Auto-Path Retrofit
System calculates optimum trolley-hoist trajectory for improved fuel efficiency, cycle times and safety. This technology can be applied to all Konecranes RTGs as well as other crane brands.
Benefits
- Energy consumption can be reduced
- Cycle times are improved
- System prevents collision with stacks and guides container along the shortest route
- Semi-automated: all stacking operations, i.e. picking and placing containers, is still handled manually.
Auto-Positioning Retrofit
Eliminates positioning errors and increases speed of operation as the crane will automatically stop precisely above the correct container or slot. This technology can be applied to all Konecranes RTGs, RMGs as well as to other crane brands.
Benefits
- Reduces risks associated with driver fatigue and of operating in adverse weather
- Creates more precisely shaped container stacks
- Decreases cycle times with a faster more confident approach to the target
- Reduces unnecessary movements
- Also works when positioning over trucks and railway cars
- Proprietary DGPS algorithms calculate centimetre level accurate GPS positions.
