Auto Gantry Steering System （AGSS）

Introduction
With the technology of GNSS, GIS, wireless communication and combining with PLC system, AGSS achieves
automatic steering and makes RTG’s operation as easy as the RMG. It greatly relieves the work pressure
from drivers, and enables the drivers focus on the obstacles or emergency situation instead of concentrating
on steering the crane, which heightens safety and increases efficiency.

Features
GNSS Positioning Accuracy: 1 cm + 1ppm(RMS);
AGSS Accuracy: ≤ ±5cm, ±1°; the maximum deviation is less than 10cm;
Interface: ProfiBus, RS232, Ethernet, etc;
Professional Maintenance Software: Visual UI makes daily maintenance more convenient;
Optional Functions: Safety control when passing the block crossing area; Forbidden area control; Anti-
collision with constructions and other fixed objects.
Technical Advantages
Satellite Navigation Technology
High precision, all-weather operation, working 7X24 all-day-around, without man-made reference.
Prejudging the Track
According to the kinematic characters, AGSS can prejudge the motion trend of RTG and adjust the direction
and speed in advance.
Yard GIS Data Compensation
AGSS can collect, filtrate and calculate the yard undulation parameters and virtual track data, then
generating GIS data, which will be stored in the controller. So, AGSS can automatically eliminate the effect of
deviation caused by yard undulation, and achieve auto steering when passing the block yard crossing area.
GNSS/Encoder Data Fusion Algorithm
AGSS can collect, filtrate, contrast, fuse, and calculate all the real-time data from GNSS and Encoder, which
will highly guarantee the accuracy and stability.
Self-check Function (Safety)
With self-check function, when something goes wrong with AGSS, it will warn the driver by flash light or
buzzer, then AGSS system can be shut down manually or automatically, and the crane can work normally
without AGSS system.
Extended Function
AGSS can be achieved by applying laser detection and ranging technology.
