What makes the Crane Guidance System from OneBase®MFT so special?
Intelligent Control of Manual or Fully Automatic Cranes
Hardware and Software Combined.
OneBase®MFT enables end-to-end tracking of material movement in the warehouse, whether operated manually or fully automatically. This is because we specialize in retrofitting intelligent sensors to existing cranes, regardless of the crane’s age or manufacturer.
Operator Guidance and Display of Travel Orders
3D Crane Control System
Operators are guided with travel orders on a crane PC in the cabin or on mobile devices for floor-controlled cranes. This ensures that pending warehouse tasks are executed with optimized routes and times.
Crane Localization
Real-Time Locating System (RTLS)
The crane’s position is continuously determined within the coordinate system and utilized by the Crane Guidance System for automatic detection of material movements. As an automation specialist, ABF is an integration partner for state-of-the-art positioning systems from Symeo and SICK.
Laser
Automatic material tracking
Smart Sensors
Project-specific additional sensors can be integrated to determine, for example, the weight, rotation, or temperature of the load. Process reliability is increased by verifying the additional signals.
Lifting Height
Rotation
Sensor Fusion and Pre-processing
ABF Edge Node
Advanced sensor technology and existing crane control signals are integrated and merged within a control cabinet supplied by ABF. The crane position and the material movements derived from these signals are transmitted to the Crane Guidance System in real-time for processing.
Interactive User Guidance
Intelligent Automatic Operation with AI
Maximale Effizienz durch optimale Koordination mehrerer Automatikkräne. With Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Crane Guidance System revolutionizes the control and coordination of automated cranes on shared crane runways. Especially with two or more cranes, AI enables dynamic, predictive deployment planning that goes far beyond traditional control systems.
Your Advantages at a Glance:
- Optimized Coordination: The AI analyzes the position, speed, and tasks of all involved cranes in real time and precisely coordinates their movements – collisions and downtimes are effectively avoided.
- Maximum Utilization: Through intelligent task distribution and prioritization of transport orders, the productivity of the entire system is significantly increased.
- Increased Safety: ABF designs and implements the safety technology required for automatic operation to proactively identify and minimize risks.
- Data-Driven Optimization: Continuous learning from operational data ensures continuous improvement of processes and reduces operating costs in the long term.
Our transport guidance system also optimizes the specification and processing of travel orders for stacker cranes and shuttles. The system communicates seamlessly with the transport equipment control system. Full visibility into automated order execution is provided by the OneBase®MFT desktop app and the OneBase®MFT cockpit.
Opt for future-proof automation with ABF’s AI-supported Crane Guidance System – ensuring a smooth, safe, and highly productive material flow.
Increasing Crane Efficiency through Intelligent Coordination
The system learns from real operational data and continuously adjusts travel paths. Using AI methods, hundreds of processing variants are simulated, and faster and safer task sequences are identified. A direct comparison between rule-based and AI-optimized crane control shows an improvement in transport throughput of up to 30%.
More throughput, higher efficiency – with the same number of cranes. This way, you can save on the purchase of an additional crane!
