[0036] The finger-hanging crane industrial TV 2, which is coupled to the scheduling and management system 1, is used to receive and display tasks;

[0037] The crane 3, which is coupled to the scheduling and management system 1, is used to receive and display tasks.

[0038] It should be noted that in Figure 1 , only 2 cranes 3 coupled to the scheduling and management system 1 are schematically shown. Of course, this is not limited thereto, and the number of cranes 3 coupled to the scheduling and management system 1 can be adjusted according to actual needs. The crane 3 has a display unit, and the display unit displays the received tasks. The display unit can be various display terminals such as a TV, a tablet computer, a mobile phone, a monitor, an LED display screen, etc. This embodiment does not make specific limitations on this. The scheduling and management system 1 is coupled to the finger-hanging crane industrial TV 2 and the crane 3 in a manner of a wireless router, a wireless AP, a 4G network or a 5G network, etc.

[0039] It is understandable that the scheduling management system 1 sends tasks to the dedicated crane industrial TV 2; the scheduling management system 1 allocates the ladle numbering tasks to the crane 3 according to the production plan; the dedicated crane industrial TV 2 receives and displays the tasks; the crane 3 receives and displays the tasks, realizing intelligent task distribution, reasonable production scheduling. The crane operators can obtain the operation information and the location of the crane 3 through the dedicated crane industrial TV 2. At the same time, the crane driver can perform operations according to the tasks displayed on the crane 3, avoiding lag of task information and improving production efficiency, providing technical support for realizing unmanned operation in the future metallurgical transportation area.

[0040] In some alternative embodiments, with continued reference to Figure 1 , the scheduling management system 1 includes an automatic production scheduling unit for generating tasks according to the production plan;

[0043] It is understandable that when there are temporary task changes or suspensions, the shift supervisor modifies them in the scheduling management system 1 according to the actual situation, and the scheduling management system 1 re-sends the tasks.

[0044] In some alternative embodiments, with continued reference to Figure 1 , the crane 3 further includes an alarm unit for alarming when the straight-line distance between the crane 3 and an obstacle is less than 5 meters, and for giving a prompt when the straight-line distance between the crane 3 and the obstacle is greater than or equal to 5 meters and less than 10 meters.

The scheduling management system 1 needs to issue tasks at the fastest speed so that the designated hanging crane industrial TV 2 and the crane 3 can display them, enabling the finger-hanging personnel and the crane driver to arrive at the designated position earlier to perform the lifting task, avoiding the lag of task information, and can also make preparations in advance to improve production efficiency.

[0053] In some alternative embodiments, the scheduling management system 1 assigning tasks to the crane 3 according to the ladle numbers includes:

[0054] The automatic production scheduling unit of the scheduling management system 1 generates tasks according to the production scheduling plan;

[0055] The database unit of the scheduling management system 1 stores a priority allocation table, which includes crane numbers and the ladle priority sequences corresponding to the crane numbers, and the crane numbers are in one-to-one correspondence with the crane 3;

[0056] The task assignment unit of the scheduling management system 1 searches for the crane numbers in the idle state, searches for the ladle priority sequences corresponding to the crane numbers in the idle state according to the ladle numbers, obtains the ladle priority sequence with the highest priority, takes the crane 3 corresponding to the ladle priority sequence with the highest priority as the crane to be sent, assigns the task to the crane to be sent, and at the same time sends the task to the crane adjacent to the crane to be sent.

[0057] In some alternative embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a display interface of the crane. When the crane to be sent executes the task, the crane to be sent displays the position, movement route and operation time of the ladle number in real time.

[0058] It can be understood that the display unit of the crane can also display the tasks being executed by itself and the tasks to be executed by itself, the tasks being executed by the adjacent crane, the tasks to be executed by the adjacent crane, etc.

[0059] In some alternative embodiments, the crane adjacent to the crane to send receives the task and displays it, and makes way when the crane to send executes the task.
