Container Terminals
Position detection, distance measurement, automation, and collision avoidance
In the age of globalization, container terminals play a key role in international trade. The smooth transshipment of standardized transport containers between ships, trucks, and railroads is crucial for maintaining supply chains, which support the economy. Here, too, radio-based sensors ensure that stores stay open.
Application examples
The requirements:
- Position detection
- Distance measurement over long distances
- Collision monitoring
- Automation
A large number of specialized hub and transport systems are used at a container terminal. These systems have to deal with exceptionally large handling volumes. This can only be achieved with careful coordination and automation, which requires fully reliable sensor data to be available – no matter the weather!
The applications:

Our solution:
The maintenance-free Symeo LPR radar sensors enable reliable position determination and exact distance measurement over long distances, even outdoors and under conditions where conventional sensors (encoders, lasers, rotary encoders) no longer work reliably or are more expensive and require significantly more maintenance.
We offer systems for all equipment used in container handling, for example:
- Gantry cranes (RTGs, RMGs, ASCs)
- Ship-to-shore cranes
- Reach stackers
- Straddle carriers
- Empty container handlers
- Front loaders
Your benefits:
- Precise distance determination
- Continuously updated position data
- Collision avoidance
- Interference-free data acquisition and transmission
- Security for key supply chains
