Transportation

Netarus camera and video systems help intermodal yards, 3PLs, drayage yards, warehouses and vehicle fleets see the loads and moves their operators can't see directly, from a container on a reach stacker's spreader to video on board land-based vehicles.

Last updated

Moving containers and cargo often runs on critical timing, and the operator of a reach stacker, gantry or container loader usually has no direct line of sight to the load or the spreader. A wireless camera at the spreader or the hook removes that blind spot, helps increase safety and can significantly improve productivity.

Intermodal, 3PLs, drayage and warehousing

HoistCam cameras are used on material handling equipment such as reach stackers, container loaders and cranes. The Netarus Full Service program works with material handling customers in transportation to improve safety and productivity.

Vehicles and remote sites

Netarus has integrated camera and DVR systems into wireless mesh networks to provide remote and local video on board land-based vehicles. Its custom platforms combine components such as night vision cameras, rechargeable batteries, DVRs, displays and wireless transmitters for the application. For oil and petroleum, the same cameras help monitor high-risk maneuvers and eliminate blind spots during transportation.
