Crane Work Planning Visualization for Interference-Free Placement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulty in deciding a work plan for crane arrangement due to varying knowledge and experience, making it challenging to determine the optimal placement of cranes around a building.
Innovation Solution
A work planning assistance device that generates primary and secondary work situation images to help users visualize the space occupation and crane arrangement, allowing for interference-free crane and material placement, using first and second planning assistance processing components to output distinguishable carriage points and crane specifications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users rely on their own knowledge and experience to decide crane arrangement, then they can make decisions based on personal expertise, but the quality of the work plan varies significantly depending on user capability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a work situation image generation device as an intermediary between the building site data and the user's decision-making process. This device automatically generates visual work situation images that display candidate carriage points and crane arrangement options, serving as a mediator that translates complex spatial and operational data into intuitive visual representations. This eliminates the need for users to rely on their own knowledge and experience, as the system provides objectively optimized arrangements regardless of user capability level.
2Ease of operation
If users manually determine crane arrangement without assistance, then they have full control over the planning process, but the complexity of considering space occupation and interference avoidance increases the difficulty of the task
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the building site environment through work situation images that replicate the spatial relationships, building structures, and operational constraints. These images serve as simplified models that allow users to visualize and understand complex spatial arrangements without having to mentally process the actual three-dimensional coordination problems. The candidate carriage points and crane arrangements are presented as pre-calculated options in the visual model, reducing the cognitive load and operational difficulty.
3Loss of information
If the system provides detailed crane arrangement options, then users have more information to make informed decisions, but the amount of information to process increases the complexity of the planning task
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing different levels of information detail in different areas of the work situation images. Candidate carriage points are highlighted with specific visual markers, and crane arrangements are shown with relevant specifications only where needed. The system selectively emphasizes important local features (such as interference zones, optimal positions, and critical constraints) rather than presenting uniform detailed information throughout, allowing users to focus on key decision points without being overwhelmed by comprehensive data.

AI summary
A system is capable of reducing effects of how much knowledge/experience a user has and making it easy for the user to decide a plan for work by a crane. It is possible to cause a user who has specified first carriage points through a terminal input interface to grasp an arrangement aspect and specifications of a crane for carrying materials to the first carriage points (or from the first carriage points) by the crane while avoiding interference of the crane and the materials with a building, through a secondary work situation image output to a terminal output interface of an information terminal.
