Industrial cranes: the backbone of your material flow. Cranes play an important role in many industries where the fast and precise handling of large and heavy goods is mandatory to enable optimal throughput and logistics.
Crane automation, digitalization, smart energy storage: SIMOCRANE covers all crane requirements for today's industrial environments. Our scalable technology modules for crane automation are designed to increase safety and productivity. These modules use the SIMOCRANE basic technology which forms the basis for advanced technology modules such as sway control, remote control and load collision prevention system.
Remote cranes, safer paper industry
In Brazil, Suzano and Siemens partnered to design the infrastructure of a paper pulp facility, enabling a shift to fully remote crane operations. Operators can control equipment from remote stations away from the cargo area, making work safer while keeping things running smoothly. The setup helps boost productivity and uptime, with built-in monitoring, scanning, and flexible configurations that keep operations reliable and easy to manage.
Automated cranes are transforming manufacturing, boosting precision, uptime, and efficiency. But choosing the right path forward is complex. To prepare for NextGen crane automation, four aspects are important: an infrastructure first approach, smart task delegation, secure, multi-use sensing and data-driven decisions.
With data-driven services and solutions, both manufacturers and operators of industrial cranes can not only reduce engineering times and project risks but also optimize operation, efficiency, and safety. Read our whitepaper or watch the webinar to learn more.
We offer solutions for smart energy storage with the latest lithium-ion technology for peak load shaving, unloading of front-end infrastructure to lower installation costs. These allow you to reduce energy use and increase the efficiency of your industrial cranes.
The SIMOCRANE crane management system (CMS) is a PC-based visualization software (SCADA) providing operational data and diagnostic information for crane operators, maintenance personnel, and plant operators.
Prevent excessive wear of crane track wheels and rails which is caused by off-tracking. SIMOCRANE CeNIT aligns the crane to the rail center line by applying different drive speeds and thus keeps the crane at its position.
SIMOCRANE basic technology enables and optimizes the motion control of the different axes of a crane, also interactively. The software concept is modular, which makes it easier to implement different crane types.
SIMOCRANE drive-based technology offers a compact functional scope within the SINAMICS environment, which can also be extended with the SIMOCRANE drive-based sway control.
SIMOCRANE meets the challenge of the midperformance market with ist SIMOCRANE drive-based sway control (DBSC). Its main function is to damp sway in manual operation in order to relieve the crane driver and increase productivity.
SIMOCRANE offers a high-performance sway control system with different operating modes that ensures a high degree of safety for persons, transport goods and equipment.
SIMOCRANE Remote Control Operations System (RCOS) enables an operator to accurately control the crane from a comfortable remote office enviroment.
Reduce energy consumption, peak loads, and costs in crane operation with SIMOCRANE Energy Storage System Management (ESSM).
