LaseLCPS-3D - Load Collision Prevention System- 3D

The three-dimensional solution of the safety application LaseLCPS-3D – Load Collision Prevention System is a measurement system which works with two 3D laser scanners mounted under the trolley.
The specific LaseLCPS software application collects the scan data, does all needed calculations and sends the results to the machine PLC. In order to measure all relevant stacks a 3D profile scan in trolley direction will be processed before the first move. An additional 3D scan will be done after the trolley has passed the highest point of the stack in order to detect shadow areas. A further collision prevention check by the dynamic surveillance cube has the function to avoid collisions between the empty spreader or container on the spreader and containers in the stacking area. The position (cube center) is located in the middle of the spreader‘s lower edge. The expansion of the cube is depending on the adjusted length of the spreader (20’, 40’, 45’), height of container on the spreader, moving direction and the velocity of trolley and hoist
This innovative solution is built to diminish the risk of collisions and accidents in container stacking areas. The measurement system by LASE is applicable for topography detection and collision prevention at RTGs and RMGs cranes.
Customer Benefits & Features:
Stack height information for path optimisation
Avoids collisions between load and stack
Applicable for RMGs and RTGs
Avoids collisions with adjacent stacks in gantry direction
Container soft landings & less spreader wear
Driver assistance
3D profile scan in trolley drive direction

LaseLCPS-2D - Load Collision Prevention System- 2D

The two-dimensional solution of the application LaseLCPS-2D – Load Collision Prevention System is a measurement system which works with two 2D laser scanners mounted under the trolley.
The application software collects the scan data, performs all needed calculations and sends the results to the PLC of the machine. For the collision prevention function the distance between the outer edges of the spreader/container combination and the outer edges of the containers in the stack (profile) will be calculated for each incoming scan. If the distance becomes too small, the LaseSCP application generates a warning message to the PLC.
The topography of the stacks is also measured permanently. Due to these received topographical information time- and path- optimized driving cycles can be calculated for further crane movements. This solution is built to diminish the risk of collisions and accidents in container stacking areas. The measurement system by LASE is applicable for topography detection and collision prevention at RTGs, RMGs or STS cranes.
Customer Benefits & Features:
Applicable for RMGs, RTGs and STS
Collision Prevention Monitoring
Topography Imaging
Path optimization
Elimination of crane downtimes
Container soft landing and reduction of spreader wear

LaseLCPS-STS – Load Collision Prevention System - STS

The solution LaseLCPS-STS – Load Collision Prevention System -STS is designed to ensure a collision prevention between load and container on the vessel. The use of robust and state-of-the-art laser technology has the objective to diminish the risk of accidents while STS spreader operations as well a
This measurement system consists of two LASE 2000D laser scanners (3D version with LASE 3000D laser scanners) which are mounted under the trolley. The specific software application collects the scan data, does all necessary calculations and sends the results to the PLC. The laser scanners look downwards with a scan plane across two bays. When the trolley starts driving over the vessel, the measurement system generates a 2D-profile of the stacks within the bays. Additionally the spreader is in the view of the scanners. By comparing the actual load position (spreader with/without container) with the profile of the stacks a collision prevention is ensured.
The LaseLCPS-STS measurement system is primarily designed for STS crane operations and serves both to increase the safety and an efficient workflow in container handlings leads to a reduction of material wear (spreader, container) through soft landings.
Customer Benefits & Features:
2D and/or 3D container profiling
Detection of ship longitudinal displacement
Cell guide detection for fast approach
Collision prevention between spreader and container stacks on vessels
Adjacent object detection of catwalks, ship cranes etc.
Gentle container handling through soft landings
Stack topography verification
Less spreader wear and noise reduction
Driver assistance

LaseASC - Automatic Stacking Cranes

The software application LaseASC – Automatic Stacking Crane is built to ensure a fully automated container handling in ASC stacking yards and supports semi-automatic truck handling in transfer areas.
This measurement system consists of two 3D laser scanners from the LASE 3000D series. Both 3D-Units are installed at a distance of approximately 2,9 metres on the trolley of an automatic stacking crane in order to measure containers, trailers or AGVs three-dimensionally.
This measurement system for automated container handling and the operation in ASC yards can be divided into four functions. Firstly it recognises the top edges of the container in order to perform highly accurate pick-and-drop tasks for the landing of loaded or empty spreaders. Then it also detects misplaced containers within the clearance zone. Furthermore it is able to detect the gap between two twenty-foot containers on terminal chassis before the pick-up operation. Recently the application undertakes position verification after dropping a container in its cell.
These features allow accelerated and fully automatic container handling as well as a gentle treatment of the materials through highly accurate soft landings on the trailers.
Customer Benefits & Features:
Accurate stacking
Position and skew calculation
Collision avoidance with adjacent stacks
High precision measurement system
Stack verification
Position measurement of Trucks / Trailers / AGVs and containers in transfer areas
Landmarker measurement for crane positioning (optionally)
