Automated Crane Synchronization

Client Summary :

Our client is a well-established and
reputable company with a strong track
record in the manufacturing and service
of all types of EOT cranes and material
handling systems. With a robust design
and development team, the company
excels at addressing specialized
application challenges.

Industry:

Manufacturer of Overhead Cranes

Challenges:

Cranes Synchronizing: The customer faced difficulties in synchronizing multiple
cranes during operations, struggling to maintain a consistent gap between cranes throughout the lift and movement process. This caused uneven loads and
imprecise handling, leading to inefficiency and potential safety risks.
Critical Lifting Moments: During critical lifting tasks, load shifts and swinging
made precise movement difficult. The lack of synchronized movement could lead to accidents, misalignment, or damage to goods, especially in environments where multiple cranes were operating simultaneously.
Manual vs. Automated Operation: Without an automated system, manually controlling multiple cranes introduced human error and variability.

System key Points :

Auto syncing all selected cranes. i.e. No manual operation like
continuous inching to adjust individual crane.
Controlled & precise movement of all cranes & overall all cranes in Tandem mode during Long & Cross travels, Lift & down movements (Continuous or inching).
Loading the job into the container becomes easier
Prevents misalignment and uneven stress on the load by
aligning speeds across hoists, trolleys, and cranes.
Automation eliminates manual corrections, enhancing reliability and reducing the risks associated with load imbalance.

Customer Feedback :

After implementing the automated crane synchronization solution, our operations have become much smoother and more efficient. The precision in load handling has greatly improved, and the system ensures consistent movement with minimal downtime. We no longer face issues with load imbalance or manual errors, and the automated safety features provide peace of mind. It’s been a game-changer for our heavy lifting processes
