Ports and Waterways
Transport & InfrastructureAt major ports, countless tonnes of containers are moved everyday. When giant freight ships tie up at docks, the various harbour teams are under great pressure to coordinate activities. The security and communication solution by Commend forms an essential part of the comprehensive security policies and requirements that apply large harbour facilities. The integrated control features of Commend systems have already proven themselves as a perfect match for waterways and sluices where automation features meet communication solutions.
- Intercom at entry/exit points and in the port and harbour districts
- Intercom stations for cranes
- Robust Intercom for different environmental conditions (sea water, dirt, extreme and changeable temperatures)
- Integration of mobile radio, entry controls and alarm systems
- Watergate control
- Optimum audibility of voice connections, even in case of high ambient noise levels
- Individual networking concepts for extensive harbour areas
- Main Control Rooms for a perfect overview and full control
APPLICATIONS AND KEY BENEFITS
- Ports and Docks communicate in connection with light signal systems.
- Integration of unified communication between the harbor teams, cranes, and ships.
- Public Address support for providing information, making announcements, paging people, and issuing warnings and alert messages.
- Optimized networking of all harbor facilities ensures continuous communication channels throughout the premises.
At the docks, at cargo terminals, high up in the crane driver‘s cab, on the forklift or next to a truck loading bay - Intercoms have been developed specifically to meet the needs of these kinds of environments. Optimized networking of all harbor facilities ensures continuous communication channels throughout the premises.
Special functions coordinate the connections between individual areas of the facility. Not only does this make it much easier to work efficiently, but it also helps to reduce production downtimes.
Regardless of moisture, dirt, high temperatures or extreme ambient noise, HARBOUR INTERCOM with its large selection of Intercom devices makes sure the message gets through, even in the toughest of environments
- Multi-functional Commend Control Desks make responding to emergency situations quick and easy.
- Enhance workers and shipper experiences with efficient solutions that streamline workflow and safety.
- Deploy reliable and secure communication platforms to help increase efficiency within security, operational, loading, and control room communications.
