Model | LaseTPC - Truck Positioning Crane | ||
---|---|---|---|
Specification | The ship to shore (STS) crane driver has to drive the load for loading and unloading from tens of meters high. The loading/unloading speed (cycle time) of STS crane is of great significance for the port efficiency. During the operation the crane is aligned to the bay of the vessel. The crane shall not be move gantry during operation in the bay. For this reason it is important that the trucks and container are stand aligned with the centre line of the crane. In order to increase speed, LASE therefore has developed the LaseTPC system which guides the truck drivers to the right stop position under the crane. Traditionally the truck drivers are guided by a spotter which supports the positioning process by giving signal manually. The goal of the LaseTPC is also to take over the dangerous job by keep the spotter out of area (underneath the crane) as often as possible. |
