Read every container as it is lifted.
CraneX mounts cameras on quay and yard cranes to read container numbers, ISO codes and seals during each lift. It flags damage and hazard labels and sends confirmed moves to your terminal operating system.
RECENT LIFTS
Every lift read, matched and placed in the right bay
CraneX checks the container number against the vessel manifest and confirms both twist-locks before the crane releases, so a mismatch or an unlocked spreader is held, never lowered into the yard.
- Critical events like a twist-lock not engaged halt the crane at once.
- Warnings flag a container number that does not match the manifest.
- Cleared lifts are logged with bay, slot and lift time.
Lifts per hour and cycle time, hour by hour
CraneX plots lifts per hour against the average cycle time, so the terminal operations team can see when the crane is running fast and when a hold is slowing the vessel down.
What CraneX fixes
The everyday problems CraneX removes from your site, so people only handle the exceptions.
- Tally clerks on the quay record container numbers by hand
- Wrong container numbers cause misplaced boxes in the yard
- Damage is discovered late, with no proof of when it happened
- Hazardous cargo labels are missed during discharge

CraneX questions
What is crane OCR?
Crane OCR uses cameras mounted on a crane to read container numbers and codes automatically while the container is being lifted, replacing manual tally on the quay.
Which cranes does CraneX support?
Ship-to-shore quay cranes and yard cranes such as RTGs and RMGs.
Can CraneX check container damage?
Yes. Images of each side are captured and stored with the move, and visible damage can be flagged for review.
Does it connect to our TOS?
Yes. Confirmed moves with container numbers and images are sent to your terminal operating system.
