From crane modernization to turnkey solutions
Crane modernization
Modernization is the first step in taking care of your initial investment and extending the lifecycle of your cranes. We can help modernize aging cranes to reduce maintenance, increase productivity, and minimize disruptions and downtime.
Real-time remote crane operation
By replacing traditional cabin-controlled cranes with remote control, operations can run 24 hours a day, more safely and more efficiently. Remote operations improve visibility and enable automated movements and advanced functionalities by using the latest technologies such as real-time cameras, advanced anti-sway, and 3D dynamic trajectories.
Advanced automated crane operations
Schneider Electric offers a comprehensive set of automated functionalities across all areas of steel warehouse management. From coil to slab, scrap to ladle, crane movements can be partially or fully automated by implementing advanced hoisting algorithms and technologies reducing manual and repetitive tasks. Cranes remain completely capable of manual operation at all times without loss of flexibility and availability.
Fully automated yard with the Integrated Autonomous Crane System
IACS integrates cranes within your overall processes. Yard management and product orientation are based on simple rules and movement priorities. All automated movements and product handling are executed considering all safety areas configured into the system. Restricted areas can even be modified on the fly according to changing safety considerations.
