Container cranes carry big loads representing lots of value. Accidents with container cranes can cause a lot of damage to the load/container, the crane and can also injure operators and co-operators. Most of the accidents with cranes happen because of drowsiness of the operator. A system monitoring the alertness of a crane operator prevents accidents and contributes to a safer working environment. It also safes costs of damage to loads and crane. Because of easier implementation it is preferred that the operator itself is monitored, not using data from the crane.
Technical Specifications / Specific technical requirements:
- Applicable in existing and new cranes / cabs,
