The next leap in safety, performance and productivity in the metals industry is through crane automation. Soon, the majority of these users will include smart cranes as part of a fully automated yard management mind-set. Already established in other industries, this technology allows the crane to automatically decide which load stack to process and where to place it. Early adopters are deploying this new intelligence in automated coil and flat yards. Digital twins and cloud computing ensure that cranes are brought on-line quicker, reducing start-up time, costs and errors. Soon, augmented reality and artificial intelligence will bring further advancements.
