Camco’s Boxcatcher increases crane performance at MPET

The MPET terminal at the Port of Antwerp has equipped its 41 ship-to-shore (STS) cranes with Camco Technologies’ BoxCatcher OCR camera system for container identification and condition recording.

The flying camera, hoovering on crane mounted rails, is linked with the crane PLC and captures every box, regardless of the container light path.

Camco was awarded the contract for the supply implementation of BoxCatcher Crane OCR systems for the 41 cranes in 2018 and now all the equipped quay cranes are fully operational two years later.
