Urban waterway transportation with ifm controllers and HMI with cloud connectivity

Cstrider’s innovative “virtual bridge” concept, powered by ifm technology, is transforming urban waterway transportation. Designed for city channels where waterways interrupt pedestrian and cyclist routes, this scalable system uses energy-efficient vessels to provide continuous crossings.

ifm products ensure reliable operation through advanced vessel control systems, onboard displays and cloud-based connectivity. These features enable real-time data acquisition, condition monitoring, remote software updates and detailed performance analysis.

By supporting vessel electrification and reducing emissions from transportation, ifm helps make urban waterway transportation smarter, more sustainable, and climate friendly.
