Smart Crane Monitoring & Analytics
Turning Crane Data into Actionable Intelligence
The future of crane maintenance is connected, intelligent and predictive.
SRE is developing an advanced IoT-enabled monitoring solution for EOT and gantry cranes that transforms real-time operating data into meaningful insights, helping industries improve crane availability, anticipate maintenance needs, reduce unplanned downtime and make informed decisions based on actual equipment condition and usage.
By continuously capturing critical operational, electrical and performance data, our smart monitoring system provides greater visibility into how your crane is operating, how intensively it is being used and where potential issues may be developing.
Real-Time Crane Monitoring
Monitor critical crane operations and performance parameters through an intuitive digital platform. The system can capture and analyse key information such as:
- Number of operations and operating hours
- Hoisting, cross-travel and long-travel activity
- Backtracking and pulsating operations
- Number of starts per hour
- Alarm and fault history, frequency and duration
- Alarm-free operating hours
- Load spectrum and Safe Working Period (SWP) information
This detailed operational visibility helps identify usage patterns, abnormal operating behaviour and potential sources of accelerated wear.
Intelligent Condition & Component Monitoring
The system can monitor the status and condition of critical crane components and safety devices, including:
- Main and auxiliary hoist limit switches
- Cross-travel and long-travel limit switches
- Main and auxiliary hoist brake condition
- Gearbox and motor temperatures
- Crane skew and drift conditions that may contribute to abnormal LT wheel wear
By detecting developing issues before they result in major failures, maintenance teams can move from reactive maintenance towards a more planned and condition-based approach.
AC Drive & Motor Performance Monitoring
Critical electrical and drive parameters can be continuously monitored to provide deeper insight into equipment performance, including:
- Current
- Voltage
- Torque
- RPM
- Drive thermal state
- Motor thermal state
Tracking these parameters over time can help identify abnormal operating trends and support timely maintenance decisions.
Energy Consumption Monitoring
Gain greater visibility into crane energy usage by monitoring consumption across individual motions, including:
- Main Hoist
- Auxiliary Hoist
- Cross Travel
- Long Travel
- Total Crane Energy Consumption
This data enables users to understand operating efficiency, identify energy consumption trends and support informed decisions aimed at improving overall equipment utilisation.
From Reactive Maintenance to Predictive Intelligence
Traditional crane maintenance often depends on periodic inspections or action after a breakdown has already occurred. IoT enabled monitoring changes this approach by providing access to real-time and historical operating data.
By analysing trends in equipment usage, alarms, operating hours, drive performance and component condition, maintenance teams can identify potential problems earlier, plan interventions more effectively and minimise unexpected interruptions to production.
The Benefits of a Smarter, Connected Crane
SRE's IoT-enabled crane monitoring solution is designed to deliver tangible operational benefits:
