Benefits of continuous monitoring 

Extending the lifetime of port cranes

Dealing with aging cranes and frequent manual inspections? We collaborate with port authorities, engineering firms, and consulting companies to continuously monitor the structural health of essential assets like port cranes.

​

Our technology delivers precise insights into the remaining structural lifespan of steel structures through certified, permanently installed wireless sensors that detect small fatigue cracks in critical areas.

Continuous & accurate inspection

Early detection of problems ensure for the structure and its users.

Competitive pricing

Wireless monitoring reduced the need for frequent manual inspections and prevents unplanned downtime and maintenance.

Carefree installation

Only 10 minutes installation time per sensor unit, no surface preparation required.

Reduced downtime

Confidently extend the lifetime of your assets.

Case study

>40% Reduction in maintenance cost of STS cranes 

In the dynamic realm of port operations, the lifespan of a steel crane is a critical factor. Keeping these vital assets safe and reliable can result in costly inspections, maintenance, and downtime. A prominent Terminal Operator in Europe grappled with this exact issue.

Seven STS cranes were requiring very frequent inspections, which would lead to a significant operational impact. Due to the Villari solution, these cranes are fully operational without the need for frequent inspections.

Optimised maintenance and extension of cranes' lifetime

With continuous monitoring of the cranes' structural health, the Port Operator reduced maintenance costs by more than 40% annually. Additionally, the end-of-lifetime for each asset could now be precisely assessed – and increased – through the valuable data acquired.


The solution unlocked a new level of asset management, enabling a proactive and data-driven approach to ensure longevity and reliability of the cranes in crucial operations.
