AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Because the cab is far from the ground and the view of the front and rear of the crane will be blocked by the gantry, some construction personnel or off-site personnel did not pay attention to the on-site construction conditions. When accidentally approaching the crane's moving track, the driver cannot detect it, resulting in a collision with the personnel during the crane's movement, causing a serious safety accident.

Method used

An infrared sensor is installed on the container gantry crane to detect whether there are blockages within fifteen meters ahead of the movement direction. When a person or blockage is detected, the connecting rod and the pressure plate are driven through the hydraulic rod to prevent the crane from continuing to move.

Benefits of technology

It effectively avoids safety accidents caused by unaware of personnel approaching the crane, and protects personnel safety through emergency braking.
