Back to overview
In sectors such as construction, logistics, port construction and mining, not only is downtime of vehicles and machinery costly, but the stoppage of work can lead to hazardous situations. Restricted view is a common cause of downtime, especially when working in extreme conditions such as bad weather, dust, mud or when working in the dark. Things can also be tough going in these sectors, with a few knocks here and there. Reliable vision systems are therefore essential in order to ensure safety and increase operational efficiency.
The Impact of a Poor View on Operational Efficiency
A restricted view can lead to errors. For example, when maneuvering, picking up loads or estimating distances. This increases the risk of accidents, equipment damage and delays in the work process — and that is the last thing we want. In particular in environments where precision is critical, such as when handling containers or working with heavy machinery, having a poor view can have a significant effect on productivity and safety.
Robust Vision Systems: An Investment in Continuity
Investing in high-quality vision systems such as the Orlaco systems from Stoneridge offers a sustainable solution to the challenges posed by a restricted view.
Our systems are specifically designed to operate under the most demanding conditions. Extreme temperatures, vibration, humidity — none of this is a problem. The use of advanced camera and monitor systems greatly improves the view around your vehicles and machinery, helping to reduce downtime and increase operational efficiency.
Performance in Extreme Weather Conditions
Our vision systems are equipped with technologies that provide a clear view. Not only in extreme conditions, but also in challenging weather conditions such as rain, fog and snow. This is achieved through features such as heated lenses and waterproof housings, which keep the cameras functioning. This means that operators always have a clear image of their work environment, which is essential when it comes to maintaining safety and preventing accidents, regardless of the weather conditions.
Practical Example: TwistLockView in Port Logistics
One example of an effective vision system is Orlaco's TwistLockView, which was developed specifically for reach stackers and empty container handlers. This system provides operators with a clear view of the twistlocks when picking up and placing containers, thereby increasing precision and safety. The improved view reduces errors, resulting in less damage to containers and equipment and increased productivity in port logistics.
