Embodiment Construction

[0015] Figure 1-5 A method for the control of a crane 1 and the management of inventory is depicted, in which goods 2 for storage arriving at a warehouse 8 are transferred by the crane 1 to a given location in the warehouse 8 and are later utilized The crane 1 takes the goods out of this location for further transfer. As an example, steel sheet coils are used as stored goods 2 .

[0016] Such as figure 1 As shown in , goods 2 arriving for storage are first provided with an attachable identifier 3 associated with a code (eg number or name) given to the goods 2 in an inventory register 4 or the like.

[0017] Then, if figure 2 As shown in , when the crane 1 transfers the cargo 2, the reader 5 reads said identifier 3 and sends the identifier information from the reader 5 to the memory 6 of the crane 1 controller.

[0018] Thereafter, if image 3 As shown in , the crane 1 transfers the cargo 2 to a selected location in the warehouse 8 and the coordinates of the cargo 2 are ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for crane control and stock management, the method includes attaching to the goods to be stored an identifier associated with a code, such as number or name, given to the goods in stock accounting or the like; reading the identifier with a reader, when the goods are being transferred by a crane; transmitting the identifier information from the reader to the memory of the crane control; transferring the goods with the crane to a selected location in the warehouse; and storing the coordinates of the goods to the memory of the crane control so that they are associated with the identifier; and when the goods are removed from the warehouse, reading with the reader from a work order or the like the identifier information associated with the goods; and transmitting the identifier information from the reader to the memory of the crane control; and activating the crane control with the identifier information, whereby the crane moves to the location of the earlier stored goods.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for crane control and inventory management in which goods arriving for storage in a warehouse are transferred by a crane to a given location in the warehouse, and the goods are later removed from the location by means of a crane for further transfer . Background technique [0002] In many locations, the transfer of heavy materials within a given storage area is primarily done by crane. On the other hand, an inventory register of goods is used to indicate what the stock or storage area contains and possibly some location information to facilitate finding the goods (usually the information is entered manually). When a good is to be transferred (for example to a processing line or truck), a work order is made, ie a piece of paper with information identifying the good and information on the action to be taken. Often finding or locating the correct goods takes as much time as moving them. Contents of the inventi...
