HOW DO
Indigo Buntings
locate the same
acre of land every
summer?
They calculate their position using the stars.
Smart Feature
Retrofits
Proprietary GPS algorithms that accurately
and automatically guide the crane to the
correct positions.
Positioning. Evolved.
ADAPT AND THRIVE
Konecranes is the premier
port services provider
to brownfield terminal
developments.
Our range of retrofit
products will enable your
fleet to adapt to a fast-
changing environment.
Welcome to your evolution.
Small, incremental changes
that enable existing fleets to
continue to adapt and thrive.
Auto-Steering
Retrofit
Safely lifting, moving and
positioning containers
or loads is the primary
function of an operator.
This product steers the
crane into position,
while the operator
focuses on lifting.
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-Path
Optimizing
System calculates
optimum trolley-hoist
trajectory for improved
fuel efficiency, cycle
times and safety.
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-Truck
Guiding Retrofit
Accurate truck positioning
for faster truck handling
and improved yard safety.
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-TOS
Reporting Retrofit
Now every crane can
count its moves, map the
position of every load
and interface directly with
the TOS.
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-Positioning
Retrofit
Eliminates positioning
errors and increases speed
of operation as the crane
will automatically stop
precisely above the correct
container or slot.
BENEFITS
• Reduces risks associated with
driver fatigue and of operating in
adverse weather
• Creates more precisely shaped
container stacks
• Decreases cycle times as it
enables 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.
