The Maxview
Smart Move™
System
Laser-based stack profile and
operator landing assist system
Reduce damage and operating
noise, and increase your yard
crane productivity with the
Maxview Smart Move™
system.

Common industry experience is that up to 50%
of crane maintenance costs and downtime are
due to spreader repair. Additionally, damage
claims for toppled container stacks can be very
expensive. The Maxview Smart Move™
system slashes the root cause, by efficiently
regulating hoist and trolley speeds during
operation.
• Reduced container damage claims > the
trolley speed is limited as the spreader
approaches an adjacent container stack to
avoid collisions.
• Reduced wear and tear on the spreader,
head block and wire ropes > The hoist
speed is limited to a pre-set value as the
spreader approaches the pick-up or drop-off
point to assure smooth, soft landings.
• Reduced operating noise level by softer
handling of containers.
• Increased Productivity > Operators will be
able to take rounded or optimal path to the
target location at verified safe heights above
the container stack.

• Proven Design – The system is in service
on ship-to-shore cranes today. The design is
based on TMEIC’s extensive experience in
crane automation applications in the
container handling and other heavy material
handling industries.
• Easy to install and maintain – Simple set
up, with “hands off” operation and minimal
preventative maintenance.
• Available for Retrofits – The system can
be quickly and easily retrofitted onto existing
cranes.
• Simple Interface to the existing crane
control system via network connection, or a
hard-wired discrete interface, as appropriate
for the existing crane control system
architecture.
• Open System Design, utilizing the latest
open-system technologies and a minimum of
proprietary components to provide a full
featured, yet simple, system that can be
easily extended to meet your needs, now and
in the future.
• Flexible Design, allowing for a high degree
of customization based on the specific needs
of the operation and existing crane control
equipment.

How it works

The Maxview® system uses a laser scanner and Maxview® software
modules to measure and continuously update the profile of containers and
other obstructions under the crane.
• The profile is updated continuously, and without any need for additional
trolley motion (including during the first move over the vessel).
• The Maxview® system also tracks the spreader position (hoist position
and sway), and continuously compares the distance between the
spreader plus load and all objects in the stored profile.
• The Maxspeed® crane control system uses the Maxview Smart
Move™ measurements to create a slowdown envelope around the
spreader, and limits the hoist or trolley speed as required to prevent
hard contact during operation.
• These slowdowns limit the crane speed when, and only when, hard
contact is imminent. Therefore crane productivity is not reduced when
the Maxview Smart Move™ system is active.
• The Maxview Smart Move™ system functions are optionally
selectable for:
o hoist motion,
o trolley motion,
o operations over the stack,
o operations in the truck lanes.
• The Maxview Smart Move™ Crane Management System (CMS)
screen is provided for the crane operator to increase his or her visual
awareness of the profile of containers and objects below the crane.
This CMS screen also indicates the system status.
