Solution | Omnidirectional Vision: Lanbao High-Protection Inductive Sensors Empower Port Cranes

The increasing levels of high-level automation and risk reduction in ports and terminals are driving the development of global port operators. To achieve efficient operations in ports and terminals, it is essential to ensure that mobile equipment such as cranes can perform semi-automated or fully automated operations in various harsh weather conditions.

Lanbao Sensors provides support for identification, detection, measurement, protection, and anti-collision for cranes, crane beams, containers, and critical port equipment.

Port facilities are affected by various weather conditions, such as intense sunlight, extreme high temperatures, and freezing environments with snow and ice. Additionally, equipment operating at the seaside is exposed to highly corrosive salt water for extended periods. This requires sensors to be not only robust and durable but also to meet standards far exceeding those of ordinary applications.

Lanbao's high-protection inductive sensors are non-contact detection elements based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. They feature high reliability, strong anti-interference capabilities, and adaptability to harsh environments, making them widely used in crane equipment in ports and terminals. Compared to traditional inductive sensors, the Lanbao high-protection inductive series is specifically developed for various extreme environments. While ensuring reliable and precise position detection, it achieves an IP68 protection rating, providing dustproof, waterproof, stable, and durable performance.
