Laser Sensors Enhancing the Safety of Crane Operations

Customer Background:

A large port relies on rubber-tired gantry (RTG) cranes for cargo handling in their container terminal yard. With growing business and increasing numbers of containers in the yard, ensuring the safety of crane operations has become critical. The customer sought a reliable solution to reduce the risk of collision accidents and protect cargo and equipment.

Challenge

In the dense yard environment, crane operations face numerous challenges. The cargo stacks are compact, and drivers have limited visibility, making collisions prone to occur. The customer needed an advanced collision protection system that could alert operators when danger was near and automatically slow down or stop the crane as needed.

Solution: Laser Sensors

We provided the customer with a highly reliable solution using advanced laser sensor technology.

Laser Sensors Enhancing the Safety of Crane Operations

Working Principle

We installed laser sensors on the crane, which detect obstacles around the crane by emitting laser beams and measuring reflection times. When the sensors detect potential collision risks, they immediately send alerts to the operator and trigger a program for automatic deceleration or stopping of the crane.

Implementation and Results

After the installation of laser sensors, the customer achieved the following key outcomes:

1.Enhanced Operational Safety:

Laser sensors could monitor the crane's surroundings in real-time, significantly reducing the risk of collisions and enhancing operational safety.

2.Reduced Accidents:

Thanks to timely alerts and automatic deceleration, the rate of accidents and collisions drastically decreased, reducing cargo losses and maintenance costs.

3.Improved Efficiency:

Increased safety allowed the crane to operate more steadily and efficiently, speeding up cargo loading and unloading.

Conclusion

The successful application of laser sensors made the customer's crane operations safer and more efficient. This case highlights the critical role of advanced sensor technology in industrial safety, bringing tangible improvements to customer operations while reducing potential risks and costs.

We will continue to focus on providing high-quality safety devices to meet customer safety needs in environments requiring high precision and efficiency.
