Crane guidance system
Intelligent control of manual or fully automatic cranes
Finding instead of searching! OneBase®MFT provides continuous tracking of material movement in the warehouse, whether manually or fully automatically operated. We are the specialist for retrofitting intelligent sensor technology to existing cranes, regardless of the age and manufacturer of the crane.
3D crane guidance system
Display of transport orders and for interaction
Industrial touch terminal
A crane PC in the cabin or mobile devices for floor-operated cranes provide the operating personnel with instructions for movement tasks. In this way, the upcoming warehouse tasks are carried out in a route- and time-optimized manner.
Real-Time Locating System (RTLS)
Localization of the crane
Radar technology
Laser
The position of the crane is continuously determined in the coordinate system and used in the crane guidance system to automatically detect material movements. As an automation specialist, ABF is an integration partner for state-of-the-art positioning systems from Symeo and SICK.
Smart Sensors
Automatic material tracking
Weight determination
Lifting height, rotation, etc.
Additional sensors can be integrated on a project-specific basis, for example to determine the weight, rotation or temperature of the load. Process reliability is increased by verifying the additional signals.
ABF Edge Node
Sensor fusion and pre-processing
Integration of the crane control system
Extended sensor technology and existing crane control signals are integrated and merged in a control cabinet equipped by ABF. The crane position and the material movements derived from the signals are transferred to the crane control system for processing in real time.
Know what, when, where.
The integrated OneBase®MFT 3D crane guidance system ensures transparency throughout the entire material handling process in the crane warehouse and priority-controlled order execution. It optimizes the efficiency and safety of crane movements in warehouse and production environments. Material movements are tracked continuously without input or barcode scans in the manual warehouse, and precise control and automatic positioning of loads speeds up work processes in the automated warehouse, minimizes errors and increases productivity.
Additional features
Interactive user guidance
The transport control system offers seamless integration for cranes. It serves as an interface for controlling the means of transport and can therefore integrate positioning systems and crane sensors. With this technology, material movements are automatically detected, verified and tracked. The feedback from the control system is visualized in real time, either via a tablet on the radio remote control or the crane PC.
Intelligent automatic operation
Our transport control system for automated means of transport optimizes the assignment and processing of transport orders.
Intelligent prioritization ensures that current orders are carried out efficiently.
The system communicates seamlessly with the means of transport control system for storage and retrieval machines, shuttles or cranes.
It coordinates the cooperation of several automatic means of transport to avoid collisions and ensure smooth material transfers.
The OneBase®MFT desktop application provides full insight into automatic order execution.
With our control system, you are at the cutting edge of technology for efficient and safe transport logistics.
Collision warning
The OneBase®MFT collision warning system makes a significant contribution to warehouse safety. To prevent collisions between cranes, ground vehicles and fixed obstacles, the OneBase®MFT crane guidance system warns of potential collisions in time. Extensive data is collected for safety-enhancing evaluations.
