Geofenced Speed Control
by MyKalmar INSIGHT
Safety first, powered by intelligence and automation
Safe material handling operations rely on skilled, well-trained drivers, but even the best operators benefit from intelligent real-time support
The system connects three core operational pillars:
1. Human:
Skilled, trained operators remain at the center of all machine operations
2. Technology:
MyKalmar INSIGHT telematics provide continuous data support
3. Control:
Automated speed limiting acts as an intelligent safety layer for sensitive site areas
Safety supported by the technology. To keep your cargo and assets secure.
Gofenced Speed Control automatically reduces machine operational speeds when entering predefined high-risk zones on your yard, requiring zero manual intervention from the driver
Core capabilities
-
Automated Speed Limiting:
Limits operational speed in defined safety zones down to customizable thresholds as low as 15 km/h. -
Real-time Operator Assistance:
Displays visual, color-coded dashboard icons to proactively notify the driver when the machine enters a geofenced area. -
Fleet Rule Standardization:
Enforces consistent, data-driven safety speed rules across your entire connected fleet. -
Physical Key Bypass:
Equipped with physical bypass hardware (a key switch installation) to allow conditional speed limit overrides when authorized by site management.
Easy management through MyKalmar INSIGHT
Simple digital solution management
Geofenced Speed Control is managed directly through MyKalmar INSIGHT, providing a centralized and intuitive way to configure, activate, and update safety zones across your fleet. Site administrators can create and modify geofenced areas, define speed limits, and monitor deployment from a single digital platform, eliminating the need for time-consuming machine-by-machine adjustments.
Subscription requirement:
Geofenced Speed Control is available as a premium MyKalmar INSIGHT module and requires an active subscription.

System requirements & technical setup
Implementing the Geofenced Speed Control module requires a combination of hardware, firmware, and software setup to ensure reliable automated control
Hardware & onsite setup
Kalmar IoT Gateway: The machine must be equipped with a compatible Kalmar IoT Gateway for telematics and location tracking.
Onsite Installation: Onsite support by a qualified Kalmar Technician is required to perform physical installation.
Firmware & Override Switch: Includes a dedicated firmware update and physical installation of an override key switch on the machine.
Equipment compatibility & availability
-
Horizontal Transportation (HT) Equipment - Straddle Carriers: Module is currently widely available for Heavy Terminal machines
-
Counterbalanced (CB) Equipment: Due to high diversity of CB range, the availability for may vary depending on your technical setup. Contact the MyKalmar INSIGHT team for specific guidance
