International Terminal Solutions' 20 years experience in providing robust solutions have allowed the development of port safety systems and additional optimisation modules to our core systems.

Port Security

Do you know who is on the terminal, who is operating equipment and moving containers?

Do you know exactly where all the containers are and if they are moved?

Not only can ITS provide this level of monitoring but can also ensure only planned moves are carried out by authorised personnel.

Chassis / Carrier Spreader Allignment Systems

Designed to ensure that Trailers and Straddle Carriers stop in exactly the right position under the quayside or gantry crane.
  • Increased speed of operation
  • Reduced accidental damage
  • Reduced driver fatigue

Trailer Positioning Systems

ITS' Trailer Positioning Systems (TPS) provide a simple, cost-effective solution to container/trailer positioning. TPS uses infrared sensors, indicator lights and a programmable logic controller to control the system. Systems can cope with any combination of container size as well as tug and multi-trailer units.

The Advanced Trailer Positioning System (ATPS) exclusively designed and developed by our engineers is a simple, rapid and effective method of positioning single and multiple trailers for all truck and crane transactions. The truck is equipped with an ATPS controller, display and sensors and provides the driver with slowdown and stop information for each trailer / container position directly in his cab.

Straddle Carrier Positioning Systems

The ITS Straddle Carrier Positioning System cannot only build up a twin 20' foot load at the quay crane, but can also use multiple lanes simultaneously. Providing pin-point accuracy and adjustable stopping zones the solution is configured to provide not only a stopping zone but also a 2 stage slow down and overshoot indication. This is achieved by specially designed signals with a red and amber low maintenance LED matrix and crane mounted laser sensors.

LoadVIEW System for Chassis and Straddle Carriers

The ITS LoadVIEW system allows the driver of a truck or Straddle Carrier to view the vehicle in relation to the stopping position. It is an electronically augmented birds eye view.

Unlike most systems, with LoadVIEW the driver gets a real time view of the container or vehicle in relation to the stopping position. Most existing systems use a light or series of lights to show the driver the stopping point making it difficult to judge the exact position. The LoadVIEW system allows the driver to adjust his speed to suit as he is able to see the exact distance to the stopping point. With LoadVIEW he doesn't have to look sideways to the crane, he can look forward with obvious safety benefits.

LoadVIEW is rapid to implement and very cost effective. It does not require an external operator and can be configured to load and unload any combination of containers; 20', 40', 45', twin 20s. The system can even align 2 empty or loaded chassis side by side simultaneously for a Tandem lift, and can also position empty chassis with twistlocks. The LoadVIEW system does this without additional hardware or an operator or complex, expensive software.

LoadVIEW works by positioning cameras on the crane pointed at the loading area both under the crane and in the back reach. Target markers are overlaid on the image and the composite image transmitted to the vehicle driver. The driver has a wireless display and selector enabling him to display the images from the appropriate crane.

Prime Mover Identification

Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVID) system can be used to identify the truck when it is at a point of work such as delivering a container to the Yard crane. AVID is based on RFID technology and provides a seamless automated method to identify which container are been picked up or placed on which truck. This allows the containers to be fully and automatically tracked around the yard.

The system can be implemented as an additional module to G-POS and can also be provided with an interlock to stop yard movements being carried out incorrectly, preventing containers including high security or suspect cargo being misidentified or placed in the wrong location.

The system is paperless and operator input free leaving no scope for yard operatives to misidentify the containers or yard locations. The system ensures full data integrity allowing the terminal to plan with confidence for the optimum stack locations, knowing that the plan will be followed correctly without error.


Benefits of AVID:
  • Increased yard density
  • Reduced yard checking
  • Reduced number of re-handles

Port Safety

Providing invaluable safety for operators and equipment throughout the terminal.

  • Operator welfare
  • Reduced operational stoppages
  • Less equipment damage
  • Reduced insurance premiums
Despite well designed equipment and thorough training, accidents are all too common. The cost of such accidents in equipment/operation down time and repair costs alone are substantial. Combine this with the potential risk to life and insurance premiums and it is time to consider your quay and yard equipment safety.

ITS have integrated an advanced high-speed laser scanning system into Quay Crane control systems. The non-contact system detects ship superstructure, radar masts, crane masts, handrails, even whip aerials, and can be retrofitted to any existing crane, or installed with your new crane. A single, low profile, scanning unit is mounted on each side of the boom. Configurable software divides the approach area into control zones, the system intelligently limits crane operation as the risk of collision approaches.

For the yard, the automatic collision avoidance system tracks the movement of each piece of yard handling equipment and in the event of a collision hazard an audio-visual warning is given to the operator, shortly followed by the automatic activation of safety speed reductions.
