Deterministic coverage for crane automation and yard-wide tracking.
Container terminals run on coverage that follows the work from the waterline to the fence: ship-to-shore and yard-crane automation, AGV fleets, gate OCR, reefer monitoring, real-time container tracking and collision-avoidance safety. AiraGrid provides one managed private layer across quay, yard and gate, plus the on-prem edge AI to act on what it sees, with terminal data that never leaves the site.
Private 5G across the terminal
One deterministic fabric, from quay crane to gate.
A private wireless layer connects cranes, automated vehicles and sensors across the whole yard, where Wi-Fi cannot hand off and public networks will not guarantee latency.
Crane automation
Move a box without a human in the loop.
Ship-to-shore and yard cranes run on guaranteed low-latency control. Scroll to watch a container lift off the ship and place onto the stack, the kind of remote and automated operation the private network makes reliable.
Tracking and sensing
See every move across the yard.
On-prem edge AI turns the network into real-time container tracking, route awareness and safety sensing, processed on site so operational data never leaves the terminal.
One network, three zones
Coverage from the waterline to the fence.
A terminal is really three operations, and most networks only cover one well. One private fabric carries all three with no handoff seam.
Quayside
Dense, deterministic coverage under the ship-to-shore cranes for remote and automated lifts, where steel and salt air defeat Wi-Fi.
The yard
Seamless mobility across stacking blocks and AGV lanes, so vehicles and gantry cranes stay connected as they move between rows.
The gate
Lane-side bandwidth for OCR, damage capture and driver self-service, so the landside flow runs at the same standard as the quay.
Across the terminal
Every port workflow, on one private layer.

The challenge - and the answer
Wi-Fi can't hand off
Moving equipment across a large yard needs seamless mobility - a private 4G/5G fabric, not patched access points.
Automate the cranes
Ship-to-shore and yard cranes run on guaranteed low-latency control with multi-camera HD backhaul, so one operator can supervise many cranes remotely instead of riding each cab.
Automate the gate
Gate-in and gate-out are where terminals lose hours. AiraSense reads container numbers, ISO codes and plates at the lane, captures 360-degree damage imagery and clears trucks without a clerk, all on the private network so the lane never waits on a backhaul link.
See the whole yard
AiraSense vision AI turns cameras into live container tracking and throughput insight, on-prem, with no terminal footage leaving the site.
Keep people and machines apart
Automated handling and human workers share the same lanes. AiraSense flags pedestrians in equipment paths, enforces geofenced exclusion zones and triggers slow-downs in real time, the deterministic safety net public networks cannot promise.
Watch every reefer
Refrigerated boxes carry the most valuable, most perishable cargo on the yard. Connected reefer monitoring streams temperature, power and alarm state from every plug, so an out-of-range container raises an alert in minutes, not at the next manual round.
Feed the TOS in real time
Coverage and cameras only help if the data lands where work is planned. AiraGrid posts gate events, container reads and asset positions straight into your terminal operating system, so the yard plan reflects what is actually happening on the ground.
Catch failures before they stop the quay
A stalled ship-to-shore crane stalls the whole berth. Vibration, motor-current and thermal telemetry stream to on-prem edge AI that flags wear before it becomes a breakdown, turning unplanned downtime into scheduled maintenance.
Inspect from the air
Drones survey stacks, inspect crane structures and patrol the perimeter, streaming high-bandwidth video back over the private network to on-prem AI, with no manual climb and no public uplink carrying terminal footage off-site.
