iCRANE Development of a mobile assistance system to increase the safety of heavy-duty cranes by means of sensory and optical monitoring and verification of assembly The use of cranes is planned on a customer-specific basis and therefore order-related. The selection and overview of the availability of attachments at the depot or across several operating sites depends on the crane rental company's experience and individual inventory management. On the construction site, the delivery, positioning and assembly of the crane components requires a great deal of coordination. The load-bearing capacity of the crane depends in particular on the correct assembly of the attachments, which must be carried out in accordance with the previous planning of the crane deployment. Incorrect assembly jeopardizes the safety of the crane operation and, in the worst case, can lead to the crane toppling over. With this in mind, this project is developing a mobile assistance system to increase crane safety and support the coordination of employees at the depot and on the construction site. The system is divided into three sub-areas: (1) optimization of component control at the depot and construction site, (2) verification of the planning-compliant design of a mobile crane with regard to operational safety and (3) recording and analysis of loads on individual components.
