With the growth of the construction and shipping sectors and the rising demand for minerals extraction and handling equipment, the crane systems need to become smarter to answer the needs of service-friendliness, and even more so of reliability and safety, smart maintenance, and sustainability. With more than 70 years of experience in hoisting, Schneider Electric can support machine builders (original equipment manufacturers — OEMs) with smart advanced digital automation solutions to help them deliver the next generation of eco-efficient and sustainable cranes and hoists at a reduced cost and with shorter lead time. Our connected technologies offer remote cranes system monitoring, performance optimisation, and predictive maintenance.
