Industrial Crane and Material Handling Cameras

In a plant, the load is often hidden by the crane, the building or the material itself. Netarus camera systems can be deployed quickly inside virtually any plant or factory to help eliminate those blind spots.

Overhead cranes and grapples

A camera on the crane beam, trolley or grapple sends live video to the operator. It can be repositioned in seconds, tied into a web-enabled interface for remote viewing, or split-screened in the operator cab. The system travels in a suitcase-size transport case between sites.

Steel

Steelmaking moves heavy, high-value material around people every day. A World Steel safety and health report lists cranes among the top causes of serious incidents across the global steel industry. Netarus has presented its work on steel material handling at AISTech events; read the article. For HoistCam in a steel facility, see A HoistCam Case Study: Steeled for Safety on hoistcam.com.
