Nokia digitalises monitoring system.
Indonesia’s port management company, Pelindo 4 has chosen Nokia’s IP/MPLS network solution to provide LTE wireless connectivity for remote real-time monitoring of its crane performance and operation.
Nokia, with its partner Kurnia Energy Engineering (KEE), has deployed its 7705 Service Aggregation Router–Hm, which extends IP/MPLS services over cellular and WLAN networks, on all the cranes across the Makassar Container Terminal (TPM).
With this networking capability, Pelindo 4 can now monitor container crane and rubber tire gantry crane assets from its control room in real time for dynamic control and management of container cranes, leading to greater operational efficiency and improved safety.
Nokia’s solution fully supports third-party crane monitoring systems, making it ideal for delivering on the specific requirements of customers. Furthermore, as it is a wireless extension of Pelindo 4’s operations network, it creates opportunities for additional use cases, including the monitoring of trucks, water pollutants and container identification.
Josef Benny Rohy, general manager at Terminal Peti Kemas Makasar Pelindo 4, said the company was looking for innovations to streamline and enhance our seaport operations, and Nokia is an important partner helping us achieve this.
“Nokia’s holistic solution helps us get better visibility of the crane operations through 24/7 real-time data streaming,” he said. “We further believe this collaboration with Nokia will pave the way for development of new business cases in the field of asset performance management.”
The project with Pelindo 4 marks one of Nokia’s first entroes into the Indonesian seaport. To support this project, Nokia is delivering a solution that can meet a variety of business case objectives, especially in asset-intensive industries.
