The remote centralized control system for bridge cranes developed by Weite has been successfully implemented and put into use in a offshore oil company

Recently, the remote centralized control system for bridge cranes developed by WEITE has been successfully implemented and put into use in a certain offshore oil company. The system has implemented remote control function, transforming the traditional "one person, one machine" mode into "one person, multiple machines" operation, greatly improving work efficiency and effectively saving labor costs for enterprises.

The remote centralized control system for bridge cranes consists of five core components: remote control platform, video surveillance system, AI intelligent management system, fault diagnosis and analysis, fiber optic wired+5G wireless redundant network, etc.

On the basis of retaining the basic functions of traditional cranes, this system integrates intelligent technology to achieve remote control and intelligent management of cranes. Users can obtain real-time operational status information of the crane through this system for remote monitoring and fault diagnosis. At the same time, the system also has strong self diagnosis and self-control capabilities, which can automatically adjust the operating parameters of the crane according to the actual situation, ensuring its safe and stable operation.

1.Remote control platform

Two remote control consoles suitable for bridge cranes, gantry cranes, and winch hoists, adopting a flexible 2-to-4 switching mode, each console can switch and control four cranes. In the control room, operators can achieve comprehensive remote control of the bridge crane with just the console, covering various operations such as lifting, walking, large and small vehicles, with simple operation and quick response.

2. Video surveillance system

By arranging cameras at multiple locations, full coverage of the crane operation area monitoring has been achieved, eliminating visual blind spots. Operators can monitor the real-time operation status of equipment and clearly see the position of heavy objects, effectively avoiding errors and safety hazards caused by remote observation.

3.Fault diagnosis analysis

The fault diagnosis and analysis system has strong self diagnostic capabilities and can monitor the operating status of the crane in real time by installing sensors. Once a malfunction occurs, the system will immediately sound an alarm and provide detailed fault information to help operators quickly locate and troubleshoot the problem, ensuring the normal operation of the crane.

4. AI intelligent management system

The system adopts AI video learning and algorithms to provide real-time identification and alarm reminder services for safety risk points such as personnel, environment, and security. It actively identifies unsafe factors, promptly sends dangerous information to relevant personnel for timely processing, and is intelligently on duty to save labor costs.  

5. Fiber optic wired+5G wireless redundant network

By fully utilizing the "fiber+5G" technology, low latency and high bandwidth control effects can be achieved. At the same time, by designing a unique network architecture to solve the complex network interaction problems of multiple devices, redundant functions are implemented in the three-layer network management switch, further improving system stability and reliability.

The remote centralized control system for bridge cranes can achieve remote control and monitoring of the crane through simple operations, greatly improving work efficiency and safety, and reducing the burden of enterprise operation and maintenance. This solution not only brings significant economic and social benefits to users, but also provides strong support for the transformation and upgrading of the crane industry. In the future, Weite will continue to devote itself to the research and innovation of crane control technology, providing users with higher quality, efficient, and safe lifting services.
