The Conductix-Wampfler Group, based in Weil am Rhein, Germany,a manufacturer of energy supply and date transmission systems to mobile users, has taken over Lasstec S.a.r.l based in Sciez, France . “By taking over Lasstec, we are expanding our product portfolio in the field of container handing to a component that will become increasingly important in the future ,”says Philippe Lang, CEO of the Conductix-Wampfler Group. Lasstec will be integrated into the Conductix-Wampfler Focus Market organization. With its “Twistlock Load Sensing &Accident Prevention System”, Lasstec offers reliable weighing of containers thanks to patented technology already introduced on the market. The system relies on sensors attached in each corner of a container spreader, which also send reliable weight data to the Lasstec interrogator. This unit analyses the data collected and sends it directly to the cabin of the crane or the higher-level terminal control system, which coordinates and performs ship loading.
