Automation of application areas
In addition to building special-purpose cranes and special machines, we offer customised automation solutions for reloading and storage
The benefits of crane automation are clear to see: Increased customer productivity, reduced damage, less wear, lower costs, improved standard of quality thanks to automated processes, time savings and less space required.
Working with its affiliated companies and partners, Kranbau Koethen delivers the complete system from a single source. We do not just design the crane, but we also plan storage area management, in other words, the link to a computer system. This includes drive control, safety technology for securing areas and order processing for storage and shipping.
Our full-service packages are designed to prevent unnecessary interfaces between the automation levels. The solution from a single source — complete, safe, automatic!
Crane automation using "Bilstein" as an example — a crane in an annealing plant with special requirements.
Whenever possible, the annealing system operates in automatic mode
Examples of industry-specific automated solutions:
- Automated coil storage
- Automated coil transport including cooling bath and storage management
- Automated annealing system for coils
- Storage area management for storing slabs
- Production accounting using weighing technology and ERP connection
