LVS Crane shows its greatest strength through its extensive functionality when used with bridge or gantry cranes. The crane is equipped with a comprehensive sensor system that records all significant events and is used for management in the system.

All components are usually installed in the immediate vicinity of the crane operator’s cab, but some can also be set up in other positions on the crane bridge.

All transport orders, storage positions and recommended efficient crane movements are clearly displayed on a touch panel. In addition, the optimum storage position is determined and suggested for a transport item to be stored, such as coil or heavy plate.

In the following some examples of displays of our control panel:

The visualization is done in tabular and graphical form to give a quick overview of the current situation.

For the identification of the goods different technologies like barcode or RFID tags can be used.

Continuous tracking during transitions between individual systems, e.g. shuttle and crane, is ensured by LVS.

The sensor technology enables the following functionalities

• Identification of objects with e.g. barcode or RFID tags
• Detection of the exact position of crane and trolley
