Evolution of Bulk Handling SmartGrip®

Mode of Operation SmartGrip® operates as an intelligent system which optimises grab filling rates in a self-learning manner and has the potential to significantly increase bulk turnover. Test and analysis in the field have shown an average grab filling rate of 70%. SmartGrip® utilizes the remaining 30%. System Without any additional driver interaction the algorithm learns the machine settings and material properties autonomously within the first 7 lifts. During operation the self-learning system automatically adjusts its behaviour by recognizing bulk density, compression and granularity as well...

SmartGrip® BenefitsTurnover Turnover depends on many issues (drivers, materials, logistics, etc.). SmartGrip®' addresses various parameters to improve performance by up to 30% for land based and 25% for floating applications. Load Diagram without SmartGrip® Lifetime Extended Crane Lifetime • Reduced dynamic overload peaks • Bigger grabs can be used Optimized Filling Rate • Independent of incident angles • Grab volume fits to max. outreach Reduced Cycle Times • Less time for grab filling • No grab re-opening required • Less power needed Driver Reduced Stress • The system adjusts to different materials...
