Jacksonville, Florida, United States (2009-2010)

Purpose:

Auto-steering of RTG Crane with cm level accuracy

Configuration:

1 Base Station, 1 GPS Steering System

Communications:

Local WiFi network

Details:

The RTG Crane is used for loading and unloading containers from trains running through the container yard. The GNT SteerVu™ system is utilized to improve efficiency of crane steering along the track.
