Dock crane mass anti-collision system and digital intelligent control remote platform

1. Product Introduction

The dock crane mass anti-collision system and digital intelligent control remote platform is a high-precision safety protection solution specially designed for scenarios with dense operations of heavy equipment such as docks and slipways. The system, through three-dimensional space simulation, real-time data collection and multi-machine collaborative communication, realizes the full-process monitoring of the operating status of equipment such as gantry cranes and portal cranes, intelligently warns of collision risks, and supports remote centralized management, significantly enhancing the safety of operations and operational efficiency.

2. Industry pain points

• ​Blind spots and environmental distractionsFactors such as backlighting of the boom and foggy weather prevent operators from directly observing the equipment's movements, increasing the risk of collision.
• ​Hidden dangers of multi-machine collaborationUnder complex working conditions such as cross-operation, passage, and parallel lifting of equipment, manual judgment is prone to errors and mechanical collisions are likely to occur.
• ​Economic losses and low efficiencyThe collision accident leads to high equipment maintenance costs and long downtime, which affects the overall production progress.
• ​Lack of digital supervisionTraditional operations rely on manual experience, making it difficult to achieve full-process data traceability and remote centralized control.

3. Solutions

The system is based on the three-dimensional space simulation anti-collision technology independently developed by Weite and builds a comprehensive protection system through four core steps:

1. ​Modeling of crane structureEach crane is decomposed into a six-sided model according to its actual dimensions, and the geometric structure and assembly relationship are restored 1:1.
2. ​Dock space modelingPrecisely construct the mathematical model of track layout and spacing relationship to clearly define the spatial positioning of equipment.
3. ​Unified Coordinate SystemEstablish a unified coordinate system with the direction of the dry dock track as the X-axis to dynamically map key data such as the position of the crane, the Angle of the boom, and the height of the hook.
4. ​Real-time monitoring and interlocking controlData is collected through sensors, the dynamic distance between devices is calculated, and a three-level protection system of early warning, deceleration and stop is formed. It also supports wireless networking to achieve data intercommunication among multiple devices.

4. Main Functions

• ​Three-dimensional dynamic simulation1:1 high-precision restoration of equipment and site models, real-time visual display of equipment working conditions and risk areas.
• ​Multi-parameter monitoringReal-time collection of key data such as the position of the main trolley, rotation Angle, pitch Angle, position of the small trolley and hook height.
• ​Progressive alarm protectionTrigger three levels of response: sound and light warning, automatic deceleration and emergency braking based on the safety distance threshold.
• ​Wireless networking communicationEstablish a data exchange network among cranes to achieve multi-machine status synchronization and collaborative obstacle avoidance.
• ​Remote centralized control platformSupports 3D digital remote monitoring, provides dynamic ICONS and text alerts, and assists in centralized dispatching and decision-making.

5. Core advantages

• ​High-precision anti-collisionMillimeter-level monitoring accuracy, compatible with multi-scenario anti-collision strategies, and supports non-standard customized requirements.
• ​Fully automatic protectionFrom early warning to automatic braking, the entire process requires no human intervention, significantly reducing the risk of human operation.
• ​The economic loss is controllable.Reduce equipment maintenance and downtime losses by preventing collisions, and enhance the return on investment.
• ​Intelligent upgradeThe assisted driving and automatic docking functions promote the process of automation construction in ports and shipyards.
• ​Self-developed technologyThe core algorithms and integrated software and hardware design of Weite ensure the stability and compatibility of the system.
