Two Automated Cranes for Power Cable and Utility Equipment Handling
Two cranes combine encoder feedback, 3D scanning and WCS/WMS integration for automated handling in a utility warehouse and production setting.
The project and its handling task.
Henan Mine Crane customized two automated cranes for a power-industry project. Their duty includes handling power cables associated with packaged substations and related utility materials.
The systems use inverter and PLC control, hoist encoders and Gray-code bus positioning on travel axes. 3D scanning and vision inspection support recognition, pickup, positioning and obstacle avoidance, with anti-sway and detection switches on the intelligent attachment.
Identify, lift and trace electrical materials without manual travel.
Power projects store cable and other electrical items with changing locations, so an automated crane must know both the load and its destination.
Use scanning and visual checks to match a load with its warehouse record.
Engage the monitored attachment and follow the assigned route with obstacle checks.
Confirm placement and write the movement to the inventory system.

Custom project supply.
The project configuration connects automated crane movements to scheduling and inventory-management systems. Handling records support material tracking and queries through the utility warehouse workflow.
For a similar project, connect a scanning-equipped crane to WCS dispatch and WMS inventory records. Position feedback, intelligent lifting gear, obstacle detection and anti-sway allow each pickup and release to be logged and supervised from the control room.
Continue from the project to the right crane family.
Use the project as a reference and specify the crane against your own yard layout and cargo.
Prepare a comparable crane quotation.
Share the load schedule and site drawings. Connect a scanning-equipped crane to WCS dispatch and WMS inventory records. Position feedback, intelligent lifting gear, obstacle detection and anti-sway allow each pickup and release to be logged and supervised from the control room.
We can quote a single crane or a coordinated fleet. The offer sets out the destination standards, required certificates and inspection records, manufacturing programme after drawing approval, shipment, installation support and agreed acceptance scope.

Questions before specifying a similar crane.
Can the same project crane be supplied for my site?
We customize the capacity, span, lifting height, attachment and controls to the load, building or yard layout and operating cycle. Cable package dimensions and mass is one of the inputs to review before final equipment selection.
How are certification, quantity and lead time agreed?
Single-crane and fleet enquiries are welcome. Define the destination and required standards in the enquiry. The project offer confirms certification and inspection documents, the quantity, drawing approval and manufacturing schedule, with the shipping and site-service boundaries.
What should acceptance and after-sales support include?
Agree the inspection plan, representative load and functional tests, operator training, maintenance instructions, spare-parts scope and fault-recovery procedures. For this application, include obstacle, sway and release rules in the technical review.
Planning a similar lifting project?
Send your layout, load and operating requirements. We can develop a customized crane package and delivery scope for your site.
