TMEIC offers scalable crane automation solutions from semi-automatic with manual assistance to fully automatic, unmanned operations. Equipped with the latest vision systems and auto-positioning subsystems, our partners benefit from reduced operational costs, consistent operation, high efficiency, increased safety, and enhanced operator comfort.
Yard Automation
TMEIC offers advanced yard solutions that enhance safety, reduce equipment damage, and improve operational efficiency. These technologies include automated container identification through Yard Crane OCR, centralized control via Yard Crane OS, and precision truck guidance with Maxview Chassis Guidance™. Additional systems such as Maxview Clear Path® and Maxview Smart Move™ improve collision avoidance and assist with accurate container placement, helping yard operations run faster, safer, and with greater consistency.
Gate Automation
TMEIC offers a comprehensive system for automating container and truck tracking at port access gates, improving efficiency, security, and visibility. The solution includes Gate OCR for automatic ISO container recognition, Gate DMG 3D for damage detection using 3D scanning and vision technology, and Gate LPR for reliable vehicle license plate capture. Gate OS coordinates all components, integrating seamlessly with TOS systems, while Gate Kiosk facilitates driver interaction. Additional features like Gate Traffic and Gate Weighing manage lane control and cargo weight data, creating a streamlined and intelligent gate operation.
Rail Automation
TMEIC’s rail automation solutions streamline container tracking and operations for rail-based transport at port facilities. Rail OCR identifies containers in real time as trains enter or exit the terminal, while Rail OS provides a centralized platform to monitor and manage these events remotely. Together, they improve visibility, accuracy, and operational efficiency for intermodal logistics.
Crane Control Solutions
TMEIC provides advanced crane control solutions that combine precise drive technology with intelligent automation to enhance the performance of container handling systems. The TMdrive-10e2 AC drive powers large-scale equipment with efficiency and durability, while electronic anti-sway systems improve crane stability in all conditions without the need for maintenance. Maxspeed Digital Crane Control and Sway Control further optimize crane movement, delivering smooth, responsive operation that increases throughput and reduces wear on mechanical components.
Automation Management Solutions
TMEIC’s Automation Management Solutions help ports optimize performance by turning operational data into actionable insights. Operations Viewer provides clear analytics across gate, rail, crane, and yard activities, while Exception Handling streamlines the resolution of inspection and automation issues. Fleet Management monitors equipment usage and positioning to improve cycle times and reduce fuel consumption. The RFID Truck Interface adds seamless truck identification, enhancing efficiency and visibility across yard operations.
Energy Management Solutions
TMEIC’s Energy Management Solutions support clean, efficient port operations with scalable technologies that reduce emissions and optimize energy use. MaxShorePower delivers containerized shore power for vessels, supporting sustainable practices. Hybrid-Power Guardian converts rubber tyred gantry cranes into fuel-saving hybrid systems using ultra-capacitor technology. Energy Storage Systems offer a fully integrated solution—including inverters, transformers, batteries, and energy management software—for reliable power and grid stability.

Cranes Modernization
For decades, ports have been limited to only two options for equipment improvement; purchase a new crane or upgrade through a lengthy process generating lost crane production.
TMEIC offers a better way.
With a focus on a phased-in approach to every modernization project we undergo, TMEIC’s retrofit packages will negate equipment obsolescence, reduce operating costs, enhance productivity, improve working conditions through safety enhancements, increase crane limitations, improve reliability, enhance response time, improve crane control and incorporate versatility for future technology upgrades.
For nearly a century, TMEIC has served as the leading supplier of crane control systems around the world. We have the largest installed base of legacy, new crane control and automation systems of any controls manufacturer in the world, and are uniquely able to offer you crane retrofit packages to extend the life of existing control electronics.
Not only can TMEIC provide drive and control retrofit solutions for legacy equipment (regardless of the control system manufacturer), TMEIC crane modernization experts can assist you in adding RF Ethernet connectivity to a terminal client, providing you the ability to view all connected cranes’ control and operational parameters on-site or remotely.
