Our radar solution enables a reliable crane boom positioning at all times.
Bet it a bridge crane, gantry crane, mobile crane, jib crane or tower crane: Cranes are essential for loading, unloading, lifting and transporting heavy and sometimes fragile freight in the transport and logistics industry. Our radar sensors detect the distance to the trolley of the crane boom or other moving crane components with high precision. This enables a reliable position control of construction cranes, container cranes or harbor cranes and avoids accidents caused by collisions.
With the robust OndoSense radar technology, you will achieve reliable measurement results even outdoors and in challenging environments with rain, snow, dirt, dust, difficult lighting conditions, cold and heat. Profit from our reliable radar technology for the precise alignment of the crane or crane boom and to prevent collisions!
Your added value with radar
Reliable.
Measures error-free in any environment.
- Radar also supports demanding crane jobs with strong temperature fluctuations, vibrations or poor lighting conditions.
- Our radar sensor is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Rain, fog, smoke or dust are not an issue.
Profitable.
Minimal maintenance costs with radar.
- Reduced maintenance costs: Radar has no moving parts, works contactless and requires almost no cleaning.
- Additional savings potential through predictive maintenance based on long-term evaluation of the signal strength.
Productive.
Safe, speedy loading and unloading.
- Our radar enables fast crane movements through precise measurements (±1 mm) with a high measuring frequency (100 Hz).
- Radar also measures speed: With this information, the crane monitoring can be optimized even further.
