SIMOCRANE Crane Management System
System overview
User groups and functions
The straightforward arrangement provides this user group with
the most important information about the operating state of the
crane. It is important in a fault situation that the crane drivers can
detect the cause as fast as possible. They must be able to de-
cide quickly whether they are capable of correcting the fault
themselves or whether they require support from a technician.
Apart from presenting information, they can also make operatio-
nal adjustments, i.e. by activating and deactivating options such
as SIMOCRANE Sway Control, SIMOCRANE Truck Positioning,
etc.
This user group has specific knowledge of the system and can
therefore call up more extensive diagnostic information for fast
rectification of faults. Maintenance technicians must be able to
access the main sources of information quickly that they require
for fault rectification purposes. With regard to error messages,
maintenance technicians can access specific circuit diagrams
and manuals. The Replay function can also be activated and
used by this user.
The terminal operator/manager is interested in statistical infor-
mation and operating data. This user group is provided with this
information content in the form of reports and statistics. The Re-
play function can also be used in the context of remote operation
of the crane from a central control desk.
The administrator has access to all authorizations and can set
up and manage users. This usually comprises the personnel of
the IT department of the plant operator.
