The leading crane automation. Efficient. Safe. Sustainable.
Cranium optimizes operating processes, reduces risks and increases productivity. With intelligent control, collision detection and sustainable solutions, we are creating the future of crane automation.
Without automation, your crane operation remains unsafe, inefficient and expensive.
Your daily crane work involves high risks of accidents
Your crane operators work in demanding conditions, which increases their workload and the risk of accidents.
Differences in expertise influence your efficiency
The efficiency of your crane work depends heavily on the experience of individual operators, which leads to variations in productivity.
A lack of precision slows down your processes
Your crane operators often need several attempts to precisely control heavy or sensitive loads. That costs time.
Maximum protection and reliable operation
Your right hand in crane operation
Cranium offers a variety of driver assistance systems that reduce the risk of accidents and create more attractive working environments for new or inexperienced crane operators.
Full control over the status of your crane - in real time and precisely
Cranium provides time series logging for internal and external processes without time limits. Maintain an overview of driving behavior and causes of accidents.
Proven in practice, built for the future
Developed for the highest demands, Cranium impresses with its high stability and reliability – tested in the most demanding scenarios for uncompromising performance.

Your success starts with the right components
Base
The base module is the heart of our automation technology. It runs on a compact industrial PC and connects seamlessly to your crane PLC via Ethernet. More about Base
Track control
The wheel track control module reduces wear on the wheel flanges and supports synchronization through precise control with inductive sensors or laser positioning systems. More about track control
Fieldbus
The fieldbus module enables flexible data communication between Cranium and the crane PLC, even with older systems. It supports Profinet, Profibus and CANopen. More about fieldbus
Camera
The camera module precisely records the position of the load using a simple connection via network cable and Power over Ethernet (PoE). More about camera
Laser
The laser module is the robust alternative to the camera in outdoor areas. It uses infrared light to precisely measure load vibrations and detect characteristic geometries. More about laser
Area
The area module ensures collision protection, speed adjustment and precise area configuration – all with 3D visualization and web-based convenience. More about area
Navigation
The navigation module enables autonomous route finding in real time, dynamic starting and destination points and optimum routes with collision avoidance. More about navigation
