Container Positioning Information System

Container Positioning Information System

Container Positioning Information System

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses the Container Position Information System (C-PIS) developed by Konecranes, designed to enhance container handling operations in yards by providing precise location data for container pick-up and drop-off activities.
Basic Principle: The C-PIS system ensures accurate container positioning by combining the Container Handling Equipment (CHE) position with twistlock activity signals. This data is relayed to the Terminal Operating System (TOS) to maintain real-time awareness of container movements, whether authorized or not.
System Components:
  • Modular Accupack: A multi-sensor positioning unit installed in CHEs, providing uninterrupted position fixes using DGPS and dead-reckoning sensors.
  • Modular ModuLink Agent Software: Converts position data into row, bay, and slot numbers, running in the CHE cabin CPU.
  • Modular ModuLink Client/Server Software: Processes position information for terminal operations, with a graphical user interface in the CHE cabin and server software in the back-office.
  • Modular Twistblock: Prevents twistlock operation in unauthorized areas.
Key Features:
  • Uninterrupted position fixes with advanced DGPS and dead reckoning.
  • Data transfer via proprietary 450 MHz or standard 802.11b networks.
  • Direct interfacing with CHE PLC or bypassing it entirely.
  • Server-to-server interface with leading TOS software packages.
  • Graphical user interface for situational awareness.
  • Interactive touch-screen displays.
  • Compatibility with various CHE types (Straddles, RTGs, RMGs, Reach-Stackers).
  • Capability to block unauthorized twistlock operations.
Proven Performance: The C-PIS system has been operational since 1998, demonstrating its reliability and effectiveness in the field.

Container Positioning Information System-1

Service Light Lifting Systems General Fabrication Process Equipment CONTAINER HANDLING Bulk Handling Shipyards container positioning information system The Basic Principle of the Container Position Information System (C-PIS) Assuming that every container move in the yard requires active participation from a CHE and an engagement/release of twistlocks, the precise location of any container pick-up / drop-off can always be determined by combining the CHE position fix with the twistlock activity signal. When relayed to Terminal Operating System, this information keeps TOS constantly aware of what is really happening in the container yard – no matter whether the container moves follow TOS instructions, diverted from them or are completely unauthorized.
