ISG a vital part of ABB Crane Systems

The subsidiary company ISG’s cameras and network constitute a vital part of ABB Crane System’s port cranes

ABB Crane Systems is considered to be world-leading in electrical- and automation systems for container handling cranes. It is a business with a 100-year history in an industry characterised by technological developments.

ABB Crane Systems enjoyed a record year in 2012 with a number of large orders, and in early 2013, the company had about 50 per cent of the world market for automated container handling cranes.

A port crane lifts heavy loads at a high tempo with a precision that is equivalent to an advanced industrial robot. ABB Crane Systems has developed technology for guiding port cranes by remote control. This makes them more efficient and improves the working environment for operators.

Requires clear high-resolution images without delay

In order to succeed, clear, high-resolution images are required that are displayed without delay. ISG delivers the surveillance equipment and network for transferring the images to the surveillance units. All systems must be able to communicate and act in perfect harmony, both with each other and with the port’s overall system.
