The Challenge

Traditional manual overhead crane operation in industrial production posed safety risks for personnel due to heavy loads and human error. Manual control was also inefficient and limited daily dispatch capacity.

The Solution

Rockwell Automation and Shenzhou Machinery built a smart unmanned crane automation solution using ControlLogix Controllers and PowerFlex 755TR drives with TorqProve technology, anti-sway capability, and regeneration capability.

Results

Potential for personnel pinching accidents was reduced to zero. Daily dispatch capability increased by 10–30%. High position accuracy within ±3 mm was achieved, and overall efficiency increased by 5–10%.

Key Takeaways

• Unmanned crane automation eliminates the most common source of heavy industrial personnel injuries • Anti-sway technology is critical for achieving both speed and precision in autonomous overhead crane operations • Smart crane automation delivers double-digit efficiency gains while simultaneously improving safety metrics
