Rugged Industrial Computers in Smart Port Solutions: Industry Applications for Gantry Crane / Straddle Carrier Onboard Computers

Smart Port Industry Applications
For port operations, optimizing the various processes of containers from ship to yard to exit gate, and achieving the goals of improving efficiency and reducing costs, are the most critical issues for port operational profitability. To enable container terminal customers to confidently use the TOS (Terminal Operating System) to dispatch and command various cranes, forklifts, trucks, and personnel at the terminal, a series of industrial computers have been designed to suit the diverse operating environments of container terminals. These are coupled with stable wireless communication networks and related technologies, allowing the control center to easily command the computer terminals installed in any corner of the port, thereby enhancing the port's operational efficiency.

Gantry Crane / Straddle Carrier Onboard Computer Applications
Background Introduction
For various applications such as quay cranes, yard cranes, reach stackers, and forklifts, larger-sized onboard computers have been designed. These come with a variety of mounting brackets to secure the onboard computers in the varying-sized cabins of different cranes. Various antenna options (rubber duck, ceiling-mount, or fiberglass), wide-voltage waterproof power supplies, and waterproof external keyboards are also provided, effectively enhancing customer requirements for stability and convenience.
Solution Requirements
● Medium to Large-sized Touchscreen All-in-One Onboard Computers ● High-gain Vehicle-mounted Wireless Antennas ● Mounting Brackets ● Wide-voltage Waterproof Power Supplies, etc.
Solution The vehicle-mounted computers (VT series) offer 7-inch to 12.1-inch touchscreen displays, running on Windows operating system, with built-in WiFi, 4G LTE communication modules, and GPS positioning modules. This facilitates user-friendly human-machine interaction for the TOS system, while also enabling real-time transmission of operational dispatch commands, etc.

Solution Advantages
● Reliable product quality, meeting customer requirements for 24/7 uninterrupted operation ● Automotive-grade wide-voltage power input, suitable for various types of terminal container trucks ● Multiple screen sizes from 7 to 12.1 inches available ● Full aluminum alloy casing, fanless design, meeting dustproof, waterproof, and salt spray resistance standards for port environments ● Multiple installation methods, suitable for various vehicle models, making rational use of limited space

Data + Group Intercom Integration Industry Applications
Background Introduction Port dispatching relies on both data and voice communication. In the early days, voice communication was primarily achieved through narrowband walkie-talkies, which required additional communication service fees. Data communication, on the other hand, was completed by vehicle-mounted data terminals running the TOS system. To save network deployment costs, vehicle-mounted computers integrating data communication and voice group intercom functions have been introduced.
Solution Requirements ● Touchscreen All-in-One Onboard Computers ● PTT (Push-to-Talk) Function Handheld Microphones ● Built-in Wireless Communication Modules ● Mounting Brackets ● Wide-voltage Waterproof Power Supplies, etc.
Solution The designed vehicle-mounted computers can be paired with PTT (Push-to-Talk) function handheld microphones. Supplemented by group dispatch software, this enables group intercom functionality over a WiFi or mobile phone network, thereby saving more costs.

Solution Advantages ● Saves network operating costs, terminal quantity, and expenses ● Reliable product quality, meeting customer requirements for 24/7 uninterrupted operation ● Automotive-grade wide-voltage power input, suitable for various types of terminal container trucks ● Full aluminum alloy casing, fanless design, meeting dustproof, waterproof, and salt spray resistance standards for port environments
