Intelligent lifting with Smart Features

Most Konecranes overhead traveling cranes can be equipped with Smart Features, software that gives you greater control over the material handling in your production processes. From the moment your operators take charge of the crane, their work gets easier.

Operators become more efficient due to shorter load cycle times, helping increase productivity. Because the control system optimizes crane movement, your crane and its components wear more slowly, extending the life of the crane. Most importantly, safety improves, because there is much less chance of human error.

There are several Smart Features that give you more control over your lifting than ever before. They are available for rope hoist cranes and open winch cranes and in all industrial applications.

Load control for smooth operation

Smart Features bring steady movement with maximum load control, leading to improved productivity with shorter load cycle times as well as greater safety for your operators and work environment.

Area control for maximum productivity and efficiency

Smart Features also give you 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.

Target Positioning

Target Positioning moves the load from one of eight home positions to one of 120 possible preset target positions within a predefined area. The crane slows down, stops and lowers the load at the set target point. Just one button automatically returns the crane to its home location.

The Konecranes Target Positioning feature has been designed to reduce cycle times and enhance safety.

Protected Areas

Protected Areas allocates up to 16 permanent “no-go” zones to limit the crane’s movements to preset working areas only. This feature maximizes crane operating space, while helping to reduce the risk of accidents, equipment collisions and load damage.

End Positioning

End Positioning allows operators to set the exact destination of a load and the outside area, or “window” for manual navigation. Once the operator brings the crane to the window, the End Positioning button automatically sends the crane to its final position. As a safety feature, the operator lowers the load manually to complete the movement.

What do customers say about Smart Features?

Speeding up coil supply to the machines and, more generally, improving the performance of the workshop, are objectives we’re always trying to reach. Thanks to the Target Positioning feature, it is very easy to program the two destination points of the coils. It’s time-saving and increases productivity. Target Positioning is exactly the feature we needed.
