Do you need smarter cranes to improve your productivity, or does your crane need replaced or upgraded load sway control or automation?

If you have already cranes with load sway control, it is likely that your system is developed or at least inspired by us.

We have over 25 years of experience in innovative crane control solutions. We can help you to write functional descriptions for your cranes and define automation features which helps you to optimise performance of your materials handling processes. With experience of over 1000 advanced crane control projects we are able to define control system features which improve productivity, reduce risks and maximise return of your investment.

Cranes with sway control system can be used in many innovative ways to improve your production process safety and efficiency. Swing free crane load reduces damage to load and lifting equipment, and stress to crane structure and hoists. Equipment lifetime is extended and maintenance cost reduced.

Cranes can be added with smart features which help operators to perform their job faster and without damages, in a same manner as some new cars can park themselves automatically or drive semi-autonomously following highway lanes. Where applicable, cranes can also operate fully automatically as a part of your intelligent manufacturing system.

After defining crane functionality we can continue as your consultant negotiating with the equipment and automation system suppliers, review the quotations and inspect and test the delivered systems.

We are happy to work with your crane builder and automation system integrator. We are also willing to use any control equipment you require, if it is technically possible.

Examples of semi-autonomous cranes:

• Hot metal ladle and charging cranes in steel-plants
• Roller repair shops
• Car industry coil handling and stamping plants
• Container handling in harbours and industry
• Pre-casted concrete element handling and concrete distribution to casting machines
• Bulk material handling (coke, clinker, biofuel, household waste, metal scrap etc.)
• Paper machine rolls, rolls and sheets
• Tankhouse cranes in metal refineries
• General manufacturing and metal workshops

Examples of fully autonomous cranes:

• Steel and aluminium slab, coil and sheet handling
• Waste-to-energy cranes
• Cheese manufacturing
• Clinker, biofuel and other bulk materials
• Containers and similar packaged goods with special lifting tools

If you wish to add some smarter features and crane load sway control into your product portfolio, or you already have some solutions but you are not entirely happy with the performance of your offering, you are in the right place with us.

Since 1991 we have co-operated with the leading crane, inverter drive and programmable control system manufacturers to productize crane load sway control and crane automation solutions for OEM use. We can develop control solutions which fit to any drive or control system. We can also help writing instruction, start-up and maintenance manuals and defining product portfolios.

If you want to add crane load sway control, safety area limits, load positioning, or even simple user programmable automation cycles into your product portfolio, we have experience and knowledge you need.

We cannot disclose all our customers, but if you work with cranes, inverter drives or PLC system you surely know several users of our technology.
