Remote maintenance

For reliable remote maintenance, Cranium supports the integration of WireGuard as a VPN solution in combination with a compact and

Placeholder

Central Management App

The CMA is the ideal solution for terminals that use multiple Cranium instances. It offers an intuitive web application for

Placeholder

Load collision protection

Cranium uses the lidar sensors to scan the area around the load. The 3D environment maps created in this way

Placeholder

Navigation

Based on the defined and detected obstacles, Cranium uses state-of-the-art 3D pathfinding algorithms to find the optimal and safe trajectory

Placeholder

Areas and obstacles

In addition to the automatic paths in the basic modules, this module offers convenient options and interfaces for setting static

Placeholder

Proximity sensors

Real-time detection of approaching obstacles with modern directional lidar systems as proximity sensors. Ideally suited for intermodal crane runway monitoring,

Placeholder

Lidar

State-of-the-art 3D lidar technology complements Cranium with advanced automation functions such as load geometry measurement and dynamic obstacle avoidance.

Placeholder

Laser

The base module can be extended with an infrared 2D laser as an alternative to the camera to measure load

Placeholder

Camera

Cranium's standard solution for sway damping feedback is a robust industrial camera used to detect skew and load tracking.

Fieldbus

If the built-in TCP connection is not sufficient for PLC communication due to specific restrictions in the project, this module

Placeholder

Instrumentation

Special functions for port scenarios. The "Crane Instrumentation System" (CIS) controls the load transfer safely with PLd for SC-automated gantries

Placeholder

Lane control

This extension for overhead cranes minimizes wear on wheel flanges and rails by centring the running wheels. The module can
