What types of project are we interested in?
GH CRANES is interested in business projects in one of the following areas:
Safety systems
Safety first. Safety in the handling of our cranes is the number one priority for GH CRANES. The continuous evolution of the state of the art in the field of sensors and wireless communication systems provides an opportunity to explore new ways to equip our cranes with advanced security systems.
Some possible examples for the development projects are:
- Definition of a safety zone in the vicinity of the crane using RFID technology.
- Development of a hook angle verification system.
Automation
The automation of cranes is no longer an option, but rather a necessity in many productive processes where industrial cranes operate. True to our commitment to provide more standard features at a competitive price, we set ourselves the challenge of evolving our portfolio of existing automation solutions to the next level. Some possible examples for the development projects are:
- Development of a closed loop anti-sway system for the movement of the trolley and bridge.
- Anti-collision system to prevent collisions between cranes at different heights.
Digitalisation of processes and data processing
At GH we have carried out a strategic analysis of the impact that the fourth industrial revolution has on our business. Our commitment to taking advantage of the advances in the Internet of things, connectivity and digitisation of processes have allowed us to develop new services geared towards after sales that we want to develop with your help. Some possible examples for the development projects are:
- Artificial intelligence applied to fault diagnosis for crane components
- Statistical analysis of maintenance data for the clustering of maintenance patterns
