Technical Specifications
Core project data for automation planning and
system integration.
Final automation performance depends on crane mechanics, load behavior, sensor layout, control architecture, communication interfaces and operating environment.

Frequently AskedQuestions
What is an automated overhead crane?
It uses coordinated control, positioning, sensing and
safety systems to execute defined material-handling
tasks automatically.
Is it the same as a remote-controlled crane?
No. A remote-controlled crane still depends on an
operator for each motion.
Does every project require fully automatic
operation?
No. Assisted or semi-automatic operation may be
more suitable in many plants.
Can an existing crane be automated?
A retrofit may be possible after reviewing structure, drives, controls, positioning and safety functions.
Can the crane connect with WMS or MES software?
Yes. Interface points are defined according to the
project.
What happens if a sensor or communication link
fails?
The crane follows the defined fault response, which
may include a controlled stop or manual recovery.
Can an operator take manual control?
Yes. Maintenance, inspection and recovery modes
can be provided.
What information is needed for an initial proposal?
Load type, maximum weight, process flow, target cycle
time,layout drawing and required automation level.
