Technology | Mi-Star®
The Mi-Star® system automates: ports, intermodal terminals, and industrial environments.
This equipment-agnostic technology provides superior redundancy.
The Mi-Star system is comprised of multiple modules that provide everything from differential GPS automated steering and GPS inventory management to virtualized operations viewing and centralized fleet management.
Differential GPS Steering
Inventory and Personnel Tracking
Fleet Monitoring
Virtualized Operations Viewing
Differential GPS Steering
AccuSteer uses differential GPS to steer machines down a predefined path. AccuSteer lets operators leave the driving to Mi-Star so they can focus on picking and placing their loads, increasing productivity up to 25% while reducing operator fatigue.
AccuSteer tracks accurately even on snow-covered ground and eliminates damage from crane path collisions. Touchscreen display makes system monitoring easy. Precision navigation lets you create more container storage space by narrowing fleet runways.
Inventory Management System
AccuStack, Mi-Star’s GPS inventory management system module, uses Position Detection System (PDS) technology to map all facility container inventory to logical locations represented within the terminal operating system (TOS).
Virtualized Terminal Operations
AccuView gives you a gate-to-gate virtual view of the state of your freight, graphically representing the current state of terminal operations that have been equipped with Mi-Star equipment:
- Movements – real time as well as historical.
- Real time status of container handling equipment and other ramp vehicles.
In-Cab Visualization
VehicleView affords equipment operators access to the same visualization tool as the centralized AccuView provides to terminal operators an in—cab visualization to see what’s happening along the route. It provides:
- Work order instructions for the next move assigned.
- A roadmap for their voyage to the next position.
- Zoom in on vehicle surroundings as operator approaches destination—if the destination spot is occupied, driver can seek, identify, and navigate to an open spot.
Fleet Monitoring
AccuFleet is Mi-Star’s fleet management module, enables terminal management to boost productivity improving visibility into operations to gain critical insights. It continuously monitors and displays CHE fleet status so you can identify and remedy issues before they impact uptime. Machine status metrics include fuel flow, tire pressure, and maintenance indicators to help you get ahead of problems before they slow you down.
