Smart Maintenance

The evolution toward Industry 4.0 has ushered in a revolutionary approach to maintenance known as Smart Maintenance. This paradigm shift has been enabled by the integration of IoT (Internet of Things) and data analytics. Preventive maintenance has become the norm, as sensors continuously collect data on the condition of machines. This data is analyzed to detect potential failures early and prevent downtime. Smart maintenance has increased efficiency and boosted productivity in the manufacturing industry by minimizing downtime and extending the lifespan of assets. Cybersecurity is a top priority.

Our Smart Maintenance offer

Basic

integrated as standard in special crane systems with programmable logic controller (PLC).

  • Crane dashboard with live data
  • Gain insights into the effective utilisation of your cranes thanks to the logging of position speed, weight, alarms, operating hours and many more.
  • Integrated remote access solution via mobile network or local internet connection
  • State oft the art cybersecurity and remote technology

With a high usability dashboard you can easily analyse and interpret your data. This visualisation supports the optimisation of your operating processes.  Track your power consumption, monitor the grid voltage and optimise your energy consumption to maximise efficiency.

 

Advanced

Smart Maintenance Basic with Condition Monitoring extension

  • Visualisation of the crane positions
  • Extension of sensors: vibration of the trolleys, oil and machine temperatures
  • Automatic alarm if limit values are exceeded
  • Warning and fault messages by SMS and e-mail

Your crane system is equipped with hightech sensors to ensure comprehensive monitoring, including temperature and vibration analysis. All data is logged in real-time and visualised on your crane. Based on the recorded data, you can minimise costly downtime. 

Professional

Smart Maintenance Advanced with Predictive Maintenance extension

  • Based on the recorded data the condition of the drive can be predicted.
  • A possible wear on the crane rails or bearings can be detected from the vibrations.
  • Visualisation of the live data in a cloud

Measured variables are calculated using machine learning-trained algorithmsand compared with the actual values. This allows abnormalities to be  recognised at an early stage, which can prevent downtimes.

Your advantages

Increased system availability through early detection of failures

Extensive traceability through data history

Data is stored locally on your crane system

Crane dashboard with statistical evaluation for comprehensive control and monitoring of your crane system

Access security is up to date. The sensors and drives are optimally protected against external access (cybersecurity).
