GlobeRanger, a Fujitsu company
/

A terminal knows where every box is. Its own equipment is another matter.

GlobeRanger keeps an accurate record of handling equipment, gear, and terminal assets across quays, yards, and workshops, including the condition of each asset. It continues working even where there is no network.

The container is tracked. The equipment moving it is not.

A terminal runs on assets that are counted far less carefully than the cargo:

  • Spreaders, twistlocks, and lashing gear moving between quay, yard and store
  • Reach stackers, terminal tractors, and trailers shared across shifts
  • Reefer monitoring points and workshop tools that have to be traceable

The cargo has a number and a system behind it. The equipment that handles it usually does not. As a result, a spreader may be repaired twice, equipment may be purchased again, or an inspection may be difficult to verify because nobody can identify which unit it covered.

GlobeRanger reads the tags on that equipment and keeps one record of where each unit is and what condition it is in. A unit leaving its zone, or gear that has not come back to the store, raises an exception.

It runs at the edge, so tracking continues in quays, yards, and workshops even without a live network connection, while integrating with the systems already in use.

Proven where the demands are the same.

Two operations with the same problem, in different buildings.

Forklift with a mounted RFID reader at work in a warehouse
Manufacturing

Daisy Brand: readers that move with the fleet.

Daisy Brand put RFID readers on the forklifts across two distribution centres, so the vehicles that move the stock also record it. On a terminal the same idea turns tractors and stackers into the reading layer, without fixed equipment across the whole yard.

Defence

There is no network inside an ammunition bunker.

A German defence manufacturer stores ammunition and explosives in former bunkers, hazard classes 1.1 to 1.4. Each bunker has its own installation. Stock is confirmed by scanning, with no connection to the outside and without anyone counting by hand.

The customer has asked not to be named.

How a port programme starts.

No terminal runs GlobeRanger today. The first one will define what this product does in the industry, and that definition is made in the boot camp, on one real operation, rather than borrowed from another sector.

Demo call

13 or 26 minutes

A video call with the GlobeRanger team. One question: does GlobeRanger fit your operation?

Bootcamp

1 to 3 daysCredited

One to three days on site. We work out which equipment carries the cost, whether it starts with gear, handling equipment, or workshop tools, and what a pilot would cover.

Pilot

6 to 12 weeks

A trial run on your own use case, on one quay, one yard section, or one class of equipment. GlobeRanger proves that it works in your operation, not on a slide.

Performance Mode

ongoing

The rollout across quays, yards, and workshops, scoped and priced on what boot camp and pilot made concrete.

The first step costs 13 minutes.
