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 to 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, etc. 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 Behavior 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 Cutoff 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 Cutoff relay will operate whenever the lifted load exceeds the set Cutoff 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. • Cutoff Setpoint value will be user Editable as per requirement. Based on these features of the Digital Platform, Klug Avalon has developed few products, Number one is SMART OLP SYSTEM, which means a smart overload protection system for cranes, and the second is the Big Display System. This system has all related features available in a digital platform like • Bluetooth connectivity, used for Connect to App or Offline data Monitoring, • Wi-Fi Connectivity, which is used for Connect for live Monitoring, • Event Recorder with RTC, • USB, • Data Logger, • CAN Bus, • Voice Annunciation, • Safety features like o Fail-Safe, o Sense Good operation, o Slack Protection, o Clear & Distinct warning means each operation has a specific indication. o For healthy operation, steady Green. o For Approach Condition – Blinking Red light. o Overload Condition - Steady Red light with high audible hooter and Cut off relay ON. o Error Condition - Both Green & Red Light blinking. o & For Slack Condition – Blinking Green. Let’s take a look at both systems. Digital Load Pin, CAN Cable, & Load Limiter Control Box. These all 3 make a Load Limiter system. Next is big display system, Digital Load Pin, CAN cable, Big display which has 4 digits & 4-inch Character size, & power supply box, Also, on request, we have a display available with, o 8 & 12 Inch Character size, All these displays have 4 digits by default and on request, we can customize it up to 8 digits for a display purpose. Now next product is the most exciting product and this product will change the design concept of the Crane. A Crane Controller, This controller can have inbuilt crane operation logic and also have the ability to customize its logic based on the application demand. This controller collects input like Pushbutton remote command, Safety limit switches inputs, Safety sensor inputs, Inputs from VFD, And generate the output which can control the crane. Also, this controller has all the features of digital platform like, • Bluetooth connectivity: Connect to App for Offline Monitoring, • Wi-Fi Connectivity for Connect for live Monitoring, • Event Recorder with RTC, • USB, • Data Logger, • CAN Bus, • Voice Annunciation, • Safety features like, o Fail-Safe, o Sense Good operation, o Slack Protection, o Clear & Distinct warning, We can add some add-on features based on requirement with these inbuilt features like, Inching Mode, means when an operator wants for fine adjustment of the job, he needs to select the Inching mode available on the remote, so when the operator press down button Hoist will move only 100 mm or 200 mm based on the defined logic and stops automatically. Variable hoisting speed based on Load value, Predefined area protection, Follow me mode, Automatic Hook Centering Mode, Snag prevention, And many possible customizations can be done based on OEM’s recommendation. This kind of add-on feature transforms a simple crane into Smart Crane. These products are definitely going to add value and lots of silent advantages to the OEM for the cranes. Thank you for watching the session.
