Collision Avoidance System
INTRODUCTION
IntelliKran® CAS is a next-generation proximity defense system for two track-bound cranes. It uses precision UWB-based distance sensing to monitor crane separation in real time, helping prevent collisions before they happen while maintaining uptime in demanding industrial environments. Built for smart crane systems, CAS combines live operational insight, fail-safe outputs, and seamless integration with modern automation platforms.
Key Features
- Live Proximity -Continuous distance monitoring between two moving track-bound cranes
- Fail Safe Outputs – Three potential-free relay outputs for crane safety interlocks
- Wireless Insight -On-the-fly monitoring and phone/tablet programming over Wi-Fi
- Harsh Duty: Engineered for -25 C to +70 C, dust, EMI, and vibration
Core Value Proposition
- Mitigates asset loss by preventing collisions that can damage cranes, structures, and high-value loads.
- Real-time distance measurement data available over Wi-Fi for on-the-fly monitoring and operational awareness.
- Programmable digital interlock outputs for hoisting motion safety
- Improves uptime by detecting unsafe proximity before impact, reducing breakdowns and delays.
- Fast integration with PLCs, SCADA, and crane control systems.
- Real-time distance measurement data available over Wi-Fi for on-the-fly monitoring and operational awareness.
- Maintenance-free architecture with no moving parts for continuous 24/7 reliability.
- Built for extremes including heat, dust, EMI, vibration, and harsh outdoor yards.
Integrated Applications
- Steel and metal plants with overhead and ladle cranes operating in heat, dust, and heavy-duty cycles.
- Manufacturing and assembly lines with EOT and shop-floor cranes where safe material flow is critical.
- Ports and shipyards where gantry and container cranes require precise positioning in high-traffic environments.
- Track-bound crane installations that need a compact anti-collision layer between two moving cranes.
Why CAS Over Traditional Sensors
- No camera or imaging dependency, supporting worker privacy and regulatory compliance.
- Reliable operation in dusty, smoky, foggy, or poorly lit industrial spaces where IR and optical systems degrade.
- High precision distance detection with accuracy around 30 cm for dependable crane separation logic.
- Robust against interference in industrial environments with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, motors, and electrical noise.
- Future-ready for Industry 4.0 workflows, smart factories, analytics, and digital twin integration.
