More TEU per hour. Same crew.

Cranium for STS Cranes

Cranium makes your STS cranes faster and more precise without requiring you to hire additional staff. With real-time detection, as well as assistance and automation features, you can increase throughput and gain greater predictability for your cargo handling processes.

In terminal operations, every minute counts

Crane downtime means lost handling capacity, rising costs, and dissatisfied shipping companies.

Every second counts in port operations. Cranium optimizes container flow right at the dock.

Four Reasons Why Your Terminal Will Benefit

More TEU per hour, shorter vessel turnaround times, and a terminal that leads the competition.

Higher throughput per crane

They handle more TEU per hour without additional staff and without higher operating costs.

Greater Security

Cranium tracks containers, vehicles, people, and hatch covers in real time. Containers and infrastructure are protected from damage.

Predictable Processes

With intelligent assistance technology, you can reduce disruptions and improve reliability in your daily cargo handling operations.

More Competitive

Shorter lay times make your terminal more attractive to shipping lines and ensure long-term cargo handling volumes.

Systems Tailored to Your STS Cranes

Prevents accidental collisions with the load and sets it down in a controlled and gentle manner.

Automatically reduces load vibrations and ensures controlled movements, even with particularly heavy loads.

Detects potential obstacles in the area of the rails and undercarriages before dangerous situations or operational failures occur.

Connects your crane system to IT systems such as control rooms, TOS, and OCR, and provides process data in real time.
