Modern heavy-duty cranes are typically equipped with sensors to measure and monitor parameters such as weight, load, pressure, tension, tilt angle, and wind speed.
For the purpose of equipment maintenance and operational safety, these sensors monitor fluctuations in cargo weight, the number of lifts, mechanical wear, and other factors. The data from these sensors is then integrated into the PLC or operator screen, allowing for real-time control and awareness of various parameters to ensure production and personnel safety.
To enhance the monitoring and maintenance capabilities of cranes, WideIOT offers an IoT solution based on industrial smart gateways.
By enabling data acquisition from sensors and PLCs to a remote monitoring platform, a wireless, real-time, online communication network is established. This allows enterprises to remotely view the location, operational status, and working parameters of each crane via mobile and computer terminals. Additionally, the system facilitates the query and management of alarm events and maintenance work orders, enabling rapid response to anomalies and ensuring the safe and stable operation of cranes.
System Functions
Equipment Asset Management
Enables online management and editing of information for different clients and their associated equipment. Monitoring data is automatically distributed to corresponding projects, facilitating quick asset information access and efficient resource allocation and scheduling.
Data Dashboard
Supports customizable data dashboards that display real-time monitoring of various equipment. Users can view equipment location, quantity, type, operational status, alarm information, and maintenance work orders, aiding in inspections and presentations.
Fault Alarming
Users can configure alarm conditions and notification methods. When an alarm is detected, the system automatically notifies via WeChat, SMS, email, etc., providing alarm information and the affected equipment, enabling timely action.
Video Surveillance
Enables real-time viewing of live monitoring footage from multiple devices and angles, supporting multi-screen viewing for quick and intuitive access to critical information.
Remote Maintenance
Facilitates remote control, programming, debugging, and program uploading/downloading of crane PLCs, enabling rapid fault repair and improved maintenance efficiency.
Data Analysis
Provides real-time querying of critical data such as lifting capacity and vibration, generating curve graphs or reports to support equipment maintenance optimization and R&D upgrades.
