LaseTPS-ML is a 3D laser measurement system for accurate truck positioning. It was developed for RTG, RMG and STS cranes, automatic trucks, and AGV positioning.

The Measuring System

The LaseTPS-ML solution was developed to enable fully automatic truck positioning under RTG, RMG and STS cranes.
The use of robust and state-of-the-art multilayer laser technology aims to determine the positions of trucks, trailers, AGVs or containers. This enables accurate truck positioning for container loading and unloading. Depending on the crane type, the measuring system consists of one or multiple multilayer laser scanners.

For large gantries or portals, e.g., STS cranes with many lanes, multiple multilayer scanners are mounted above the lanes below the portal beams to measure the lanes three-dimensionally along the direction of travel in the gantry. The LaseTPS-ML measurement system is primarily designed for RTG, RMG and STS container cranes and serves both the safety of the stevedores and an efficient workflow during container handling. The LaseTPS-ML could also be introduced in other LASE multilayer scanner applications as part of whole solution.
