LiDAR for automated materials handling gear

LASE has received an important safety certification for an automation system that allows an automated yard crane to transfer a container to a road truck with the driver in the cab.

Last year was a bumper one for the production of tank containers, but now an oversupply looms.

IDENTEC SOLUTIONS has upgraded its Terminal Tracker hardware with an improved shock sensor developed in close cooperation with Konecranes.

Germany’s Symeo continues to develop its patented LPR (local positioning radar) sensor technology for accurate real-time distance measurement.

Despite much anticipation, fleets of autonomous trucks have yet to make much of an impact on horizontal transport in container terminals. Konecranes, meanwhile, is preparing to introduce autonomous vehicles for limited applications.

According to LASE, multilayer laser scanner technology deserves to be called ‘disruptive’
