Next-generation Crane Advance Remote Monitoring System (CARMS) and its Advanced Preventive Maintenance

Realization of IoT platform for next-generation crane maintenance management

CARMS collects and analyzes critical data related to cranes. These data are transferred and accumulated on the cloud managed by our company. In addition, data can be visualized and viewed through a web browser on a PC or tablet. This makes it possible to monitor the crane status "anytime" and "anywhere". Furthermore, by adding sensors to various equipment on the crane, we are constantly expanding advanced preventive maintenance functions that make it possible to grasp equipment lifespans and signs of failure. Through CARMS, we will be contributing to the improvement of the reliability of customer ports and streamlining port operations.

*CARMS is the shortform of the Crane Advanced Remote Monitoring System provided by our company.

Can be monitored on a normal PC. No special device or software required.
Multiple users can share information based on the same screen

Download reports and data from remote locations

Output work diaries, cargo handling reports, wind direction and speed logs, etc.
No need to climb the crane to obtain the output data
