Optimising factory cranes operation

By admin August 11, 2014 12:05 pm

 In a factory, cranes need to be scheduled so as not to interfere with each other to achieve reliable operation in time. That’s where scheduling of factory cranes becomes important, something which has been less talked about
(Satis)Factory crane scheduling Factory crane scheduling means allowing one or more hoists to move along a single horizontal track that is normally mounted on the ceiling.  When a production schedule for the plant is drawn up, cranes must be available to move materials from one processing unit to another at the desired times.
One crane may be required to yield (move out of the way) to permit another crane to pick up or deliver its load. Basically scheduling means managing of moment of EOT cranes in factory.
Need and importance of factory crane schedulingNow the question arises that is it that much essential to have factory crane scheduling in practice? Well, to know this, its need and importance should be understood.
“The importance of a crane starts from the construction of the factory itself, the capacity and weight of the crane are fundamental for the design of the factory structure,” says Saikat Bagchi, Director-Marketing, Sales and Business Development, Jaso India Pvt. Ltd. He adds, “The crane should be the first machine installed in the factory, because it will help in the installation of all the other machines. A proper and organised scheduling will save time and money to the company.”
Safety measures While operating such critical equipment like crane in factory operations, it becomes very necessary to implement some overall safety measures, especially for workers in order to have their safety. This in turn ensures smooth, reliable as well as trouble-free operation.
“Demag Cranes works towards the objective of ‘Zero Harm’. Zero harm means think safe, work safe and home safe,” explains Deepak Desai, General Manager, Operations, Demag Cranes & Components (I) Pvt. Ltd. “To achieve this objective, roadmaps which cover various safety and environmental improvement aspects are tracked and monitored by the management team through use of mile markers within the road map. Safety performance of the organisation is also tracked through different leading and lagging indicators. Initiatives are being taken to ensure involvement of all team members in the journey towards zero harm.”
Commenting on the safety measures practised by Jaso India, Mr Bagchi informs, “We offer safety measures like running alarm or horn, overload limit switch, 3ph indications, anti-collision devices, emergency stop provisions and limit switches for hoisting and travelling etc.”
