Safety through accuracy The AutoSteering technology can be adapted for both RMG cranes on container terminals and also for gantry cranes on shipyards, as a SkewControl, where the cranes have an unfavorable steering ratio (rail span vs length of bogie system), thus skewing easily. SkewControl adjusts the travelling speed of each drive system. This corrects the crane perpendicular to rail line. This almost maintenance-free technology therefore replaces the existing inaccurate odometer/ encoder wheels with the SkewControl system, which uses inductive sensors for location calibration.
