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 Klug Avalon, A solution provider. then we will have a look about Features of the Digital Platform built by Klug 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 Klug Avalon. With these changing demands in the industry, Klug Avalon has been successfully been able to transform itself from a product company to a Solution Provider. Klug 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 Klug 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 Klug 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 Klug 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 req. 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.
