Intelligent Crane Track Monitoring with Proximity Sensors
Our crane track monitoring system detects people and obstacles on the crane track in real time using precise 3D perception powered by our proximity sensors. Ensuring maximum safety at intermodal terminals.
Intelligent Crane Track Monitoring with Proximity Sensors
Our crane track monitoring system detects people and obstacles on the crane track in real time using precise 3D perception powered by our proximity sensors. Ensuring maximum safety at intermodal terminals.
Spatial Vision for Safe Crane Track Monitoring
At intermodal terminals, heavy crane systems share space with people, vehicles, and unpredictable obstacles. Every meter counts — for safety, efficiency, and accident prevention.
Our proximity sensor takes crane track monitoring to a new level:
- 360° environmental awareness with depth perception: The system “understands” the space around the crane track – recognizing how close people, vehicles, or objects truly are.
- Independent of light & weather: Whether in fog or glare, our proximity sensing delivers reliable data where cameras or other sensors reach their limits.
- Relevance over mere obstacles: People, trailers, or container edges are not just detected as objects, but identified as safety-critical elements that trigger targeted responses.
Modern terminals require more than just movement – they need predictive safety and automatable systems.
With our proximity sensors, your crane track becomes intelligent.

Intermodal Terminal
Usage
During container handling at intermodal terminals, crane systems operate in close proximity to people, trailers, and containers. Our crane track monitoring system (KÜS) with Lidar-based proximity sensing monitors the crane track in real time — enabling precise and safe crane movements in complex environments.
Functionalities
- Detection of people, vehicles, and containers on the crane track
- Dynamic hazard zones trigger automatic warnings or braking actions
- Reliable proximity detection with position and distance measurement, independent of lighting or weather conditions
