Hello All, And Welcome to the interesting session about the FUTURE OF INDUSTRIAL CRANES & SMART SAFETY SOLUTIONS. Now, in this session, we will talk about the Industry 4.0 and its impact on cranes, Then we will address, How to incorporate Industry 4.0 in our product ranges? After that, we will talk about Kloog Avalon, A solution provider. Then we will have a look about Features of the Digital Platform built by Kloog Avalon. And finally, we will be moving on Product developed based on Digital Platform. So, moving forward to the first topic of the session which is Industry 4.0 & its impact on Cranes. Industry 4.0 is here and it is already impacting your lives. It is helping us improve our deliverables to the world, set emphasis on human safety, better the working conditions, and focus on the wellbeing of all around us. The important benefit to the product manufacturers is enabling them to take up the current challenges by becoming more flexible and reacting to changes in the market much easier. Industry 4.0 is very consumer-centered and can increase the speed of innovation, which does lead to faster design processes. Industry 4.0 for the crane industry is a game-changer and, those embracing the technology can reap rich benefits in the future. The benefits are many such as, It can help improve productivity, Improve efficiency, Add value to the products, Enhance customer experience, Promote safety at the workplace, Reduce ownership & maintenance cost, and also help, Facilitate legal & statutory compliances. Now, with all known advantages the next step is to how to incorporate Industry 4.0 in our product ranges? Let’s talk about few requirements which help us to incorporate Industry 4.0 in our product range. The first requirement is Connectivity or Connected Equipment. We all know that today's data is the new gold. Using analytics on the data collected opens a large number of possibility and help in, • Improvising our design, • Improve our sourcing of components used in the equipment, • Predict component failure and proactively alerting the customer to help him reduce downtime of the equipment, • By optimizing maintenance to improve ROI of the equipment, • Understand customer operation in a deeper way enhancing, customer satisfaction. The second one is Safety. Safety is exigent; it cannot be ignored. Any compromise on safety may lead to an accident and cause loss of reputation, money, life, and demoralizes the user of the equipment. Lately, there has been a growing thrust on safety by all reputed OEMs and end-customer. The next one is Training, As the equipment is getting sophisticated and feature-rich day by day the user needs to get periodically trained, to get the best out of the equipment & this is a contiguous process. Next is Customer Centric, Today all customers seek value proposition and have become more demanding. Customer retention and Customer delight is an ongoing challenge. And the final one is improving efficiency and cost reduction, As customer demands are increasing so is the competition. Optimizing the equipment for its use will help reduce wastages and improve the bottom line. Let’s move ahead in this session and talk about Kloog Avalon. With these changing demands in the industry, Kloog Avalon has been successfully been able to transform itself from a product company to a Solution Provider. Kloog Avalon has built a digital platform that has the ability to communicate and is modular in design, which helps to enable scalability and speed in its offering. With loads of features already incorporated and eagerness to constantly improvising on its offering is helping Kloog Avalon to offer smart solutions to its OEM customers, and further enabling them to add more value to its products & end customer.   Now let’s talk about the interesting features of the Digital Platform built by Kloog Avalon. Data logger, By using this feature we can store, • Event encountered in a crane, • We can store Load Lifting patterns, which is very important to know the actual utilization of cranes. • Store Error or tripping operation of crane with real-time and thus we can understand the behavior of the crane. The Next feature is Event Recorder, This feature will be going to record the crane operations like, How many times crane or Hoist has been used? How many times crane has been trip? Also, we can record how many hours hoist operation has been performed with load value for every single operation. This data can be accessed through a Mobile Application developed by Kloog Avalon. Look at the demo screens to check for the Crane Usage Data. The Third Feature is one of the latest technology of Industry 4.0. CAN bus System. CAN bus is one of the communication protocol helps converts analog signals into Digital and make the system digital. Now, this system reduces noise interference or related issues that occurred in an analog system, your half problem is resolved which we maximum face with the Analog systems. It has an inbuilt feature of Error Detection, This system can able to identify any physical damage, wrong connection, or an internal malfunction of the system and generate the specific Error Code, which helps the maintenance person to identify the fault easily and a lot of time-saving in the crane downtime. With this system, we don’t require Shielded cable, and this way we can eliminate a lot of issues related to Shielding of cable, Receiving Garbage data, or noise-related issues. This benefit makes the CAN bus system very popular amongst the OEM. We can add the number of digital sensors, or Digital equipment in a single loop. There is no different controller is required to read each sensor data. The next feature is like a Basic need of any Digital Component. A Connectivity. In today’s world can we survive without connectivity or communication? “NO”, So Wi-Fi, Bluetooth facility is inbuilt available in this digital platform. Using Wi-Fi, you can monitor the live data of the crane through the application. If we don’t have Wi-Fi access, we can connect to the system via Bluetooth. When you connect to the system through Bluetooth system will transfer all stored details to the Mobile app and the server. We can perform a number of task with the mobile app, Control the Operation based on the defined logic. There is no need to go up for the Load limiter system calibration, We can view or modify the setting of Load calibration through mobile App., Maximum Load capacity, Et cetera. We can send customized notifications or Warning messages to the End-user, team, or concerned person via text message or email. Based on available data, OEM can apply data analytic tools and generate a number of reports, Trend graphs, and Performance curves. These reports help designers to optimize the design of cranes which is most suitable for the Crane application, also able to understand Crane Behaviour in specific conditions. Let’s talk about the Safety features of this Digital Platform. The first one is Sense Good operation, • This Feature will ensure that the crane cannot be operative without the system active and operative. The system will be wired through the Sense Good circuitry of the system to the crane, so Crane Usage will be always be monitored in all conditions. Also continuously monitor internal system healthiness. The second one is Slack Cut-Off Function, • This function ensures that the wire rope remains in place on the pulley, even when the hook is lowered and touches the ground level. • Slack Cut-off relay will operate whenever the hook touches the ground. And the third one is Overload Protection Cut-off Function or Fail Safe Mode, • This function ensures load-lifting within the rated crane capacity. • Overload Cut-off relay will operate whenever the lifted load exceeds the set Cut-off setpoint value, thereby ensuring any unsafe operation Also, relay wiring will be in between Pole and NC contact, or • For fail-safe mode Relay is always active & wiring will be between Pole and N.O. contact. So if the system has some issue this relay gets deactivate and thus the circuit gets disconnect where we have used the Contact of the fail-safe relay. • Cut-off Setpoint value will be user Editable as per requirement.
