Cranes Monitoring System

General

RF-Networks Cranes Monitoring System collects data from wireless sensors that are installed on the crane, analyzed it, and provides real-time info/alerts. Following are examples of the system’s functions:

Provides real-time alerts when crane operates in winds that are above the allowed safety conditions
Records the crane movements throughout the day – for post analyses (e.g. accidents investigation, preferred crane location)

The solution includes a mobile app that presents a dashboard of all the cranes’ info and alerts.

How it Operates

The solution consists of two GPS sensors, two wind speed sensors, two pressure sensors, and one GW.
GPS 1 sensor provides the location of the end of the Jib (working arm). GPS2 provides the Trolley location.
Pressure 1 (HTP) sensor provides the pressure at the Jib height. Pressure 2 the hook height pressure.
Pressure 2 (HTP) sensor provides the pressure at the hook height.
The Gateway is located in the operator cabin.
The hook location is calculated, considering the hook distance from the Jib (using the two pressure sensors) and the GPS 2 information.
All the sensors send the data to the Gateway every 0.1 seconds (configurable).
The Gateway transmits the info to the application on the cloud.
