Safety that drives performance: Geofenced Speed Control comes to MyKalmar INSIGHT
Key Takeaways
- Kalmar has launched Geofenced Speed Control as a new premium module within MyKalmar INSIGHT, enhancing safety and productivity in complex industrial environments.
- The module automatically reduces vehicle speed in predefined safety zones without driver intervention, leading to a tangible reduction in risk exposure and smoother traffic flow.
- Integrated into MyKalmar INSIGHT, it offers customers full control to define and manage safety zones in real-time, apply consistent speed rules, and monitor machine interactions to support data-driven safety improvements.
- Beyond compliance, this solution delivers significant business value by reducing accident-related downtime and costs, improving workforce safety, and strengthening operational resilience.
- Geofenced Speed Control advances Kalmar’s digital services portfolio by actively influencing machine behaviour and safety outcomes, moving beyond just reporting data.
Container terminals are among the most complex and safety‑critical industrial environments, where people, vehicles, and equipment operate in close proximity around the clock. Improving safety in these conditions is not only a regulatory or ethical imperative, but also a direct driver of operational continuity, uptime, and cost efficiency.
At Kalmar, we continuously develop solutions that help our customers make their terminals safer and more productive at the same time. We are pleased to introduce our latest digital innovation designed with exactly this balance in mind: Geofenced Speed Control in MyKalmar INSIGHT.
Geofenced Speed Control is now offered as a new premium module within the MyKalmar INSIGHT subscription. It enriches the existing INSIGHT modules portfolio, expanding it with an additional layer of active safety and control (all premium modules shown on the image below).
Turning safety zones into automated control
Geofenced Speed Control automatically reduces vehicle speed within predefined safety zones, such as congested intersections and maintenance or service areas. Once a machine enters a configured zone, the maximum speed is limited without requiring driver intervention.The result is a tangible reduction in risk exposure, smoother traffic flow, and fewer incidents – all while maintaining predictable operations.By prioritizing easy configuration, transparency, and minimal maintenance, Geofenced Speed Control ensures that improved safety does not come at the expense of operational efficiency. Instead, safety becomes an integrated, data‑driven part of daily terminal operations.
Built into MyKalmar INSIGHT for full control
“The true power of our Geofenced Speed Control lies in its integration with INSIGHT. In addition to monitoring speed-related KPIs, such as number of visits, distance, and time travelled, you will gain full autonomy to define and manage your safety zones in real-time through the intuitive INSIGHT interface,” says Waqas Hafeez, Senior Manager, Customer Solutions, Kalmar.
Through the module in MyKalmar INSIGHT, customers can:
- Create and adjust safety zones in real time
- Apply consistent speed rules across fleets
- Monitor how machines interact with defined zones (information is presented on machine’s dashboard)
- Use data and insights to support safety audits and continuous improvement initiatives
Business value beyond compliance
“Geofenced Speed Control is not only about reducing accidents - it’s about helping our customers run more predictable, efficient operations. By embedding safety rules directly into machine behaviour, we help to protect assets, cargo and create safer working conditions without adding operational complexity.”
- Alina Reinhold, Director of Digital Services, Kalmar
- From a business perspective, Geofenced Speed Control supports customers in:
- Reducing accident‑related downtime and repair costsImproving workforce safety and confidence
- Supporting compliance and standardization across sitesStrengthening operational resilience in high‑traffic areas
- This makes safety a measurable contributor to performance, rather than a separate constraint on operations.
Strengthening Kalmar’s digital services portfolio
“The new Geofence Speed Limiter premium module will significantly enhance our digital portfolio. We have received extremely positive feedback from customers who piloted this module. This innovation also underscores our ambition to move our digital services portfolio beyond a simple IoT and KPI data dashboard, making it an integral part of our customers' daily operations, alongside the existing Driver Access and INSPECTION modules,”
- says Martin Gribitz, Digital Technical Sales and Delivery Manager, Kalmar.Geofenced Speed Control is another step toward making MyKalmar INSIGHT a true operational control layer, where digital tools actively influence machine behavior and safety outcomes—not just report on them.
Is it already available? How to get it?
The Geofenced Speed Control module was officially launched during the TOC Europe event in May 2026.
