What are Smart Features?

Konecranes CXT cranes are available with software-based intelligence—Smart Features—that give you total control over your process tasks. Our Smart Features can help you improve safety and productivity from two perspectives:

• Load control: Steady movement with maximum load control leads to improved productivity with shorter load cycle times as well as greater safety for your operators and work environment.
• Positioning and area control: Get more control over the working area of the crane, improving the efficiency and accuracy of load positioning by adapting the available space to the physical layout of your production line.

Did you know that a crane with sway control is 60% faster than an ordinary crane?* Our experts can help you choose the right Smart Features for you application and you can always add additional Smart Features in the future as your needs change.
