Modern energy and data transmission systems for terminal cranes

摘要

The international crane business had to critically review its longstanding development strategies in light of the 2009 worldwide recession. This particularly impacted worldwide transport of cargo by containers. Based on an important extension of globally operated sea terminals, national networked domestic ports and goods distribution hubs, the focus is currently on the modernization of technology already in operation. There is also an increasingly strong orientation towards consolidating total terminal costs, and for reducing environmental pollution as a result of container terminal operations. On account of these new challenges, the crane operators and crane manufacturers have intensified the installation of optimized and custom-made technical solutions. This also means a special challenge for the supplying industry.
