Automated Container Handling & Yard Operations

Maximize Yard Efficiency

Gain real-time visibility and intelligent control of cranes, containers, and yard operations with rugged edge systems.

  • Challenge

    Managing container flow in high-volume ports is complex. Without real-time tracking and automation, crane operations and yard logistics suffer from delays, inefficiencies, and safety risks.

  • Advantech's Solution

    Advantech supports container operations with industrial displays, sensors, ethernet switches and edge AI systems. From crane status monitoring and field monitoring to automated stack positioning and RTG coordination, our systems provide live visibility, reduce idle time, and help optimize container flow with precision and reliability.

Predictive Maintenance & Asset Monitoring

Minimize Downtime

Leverage sensors and AI to detect equipment issues before they cause disruptions.

  • Challenge

    Unexpected equipment failure can bring port operations to a standstill. Traditional maintenance methods rely on scheduled checks or manual inspections, which often miss early signs of wear or stress - resulting in costly downtime and inefficiency.

  • Advantech's Solution

    Advantech brings intelligence to port asset management with AI-powered edge devices and smart sensors. Our wireless vibration and temperature sensors continuously monitor asset health, while edge computers run local analytics to detect anomalies in real time. With instant alerts and cloud integration, maintenance becomes predictive, not reactive - helping ports reduce service interruptions, protect assets, and optimize operations.
