Saving and Retrieving Waypoints

Illustration of the system for saving and later retrieving waypoints along which the crane is guided.

Our waypoint assistant simplifies repetitive crane operations by allowing the crane operator to record the positions and movements of the grab or hook and recall them later.



Record Waypoints


At the touch of a button, the system saves the current position and orientation of the grapple or hook. Later, with a single press of a button, the crane automatically returns to the saved position and orientation—quickly, safely, and precisely.



Store entire journey


Alternatively, crane operators can record the entire path of the grapple or hook from start to finish and review it later. This can even be done in conjunction with hook guidance: In this case, an  operator on the ground pulls the hook or grapple along the desired route, which is then recorded for automated playback later. 


This feature reduces operator workload, speeds up routine tasks, and ensures consistent, repeatable positioning, which is especially useful in environments where specific pick-up or drop-off points are regularly used. 

AutoCrane assistance systems

Collision Prevention

Intelligent obstacle detection for safe crane operation

Collision Prevention

If the system detects an impending collision between the grapple or hook and any object in the crane's working area, it creates an alert on the HMI and stops the crane. When used with partial or full autonomy, the system will circumvent the obstacle.

People Tracker

Enhanced safety through real-time monitoring

People Tracker

Our system recognizes people via AI while they are in the crane's operating area. It alerts the crane operator and, if desired, smoothly halts the system to prevent dangerous situations.

Time Machine

Complete data replay of crane operations

Time Machine illustration

Our Time Machine module records and stores all available sensor data from the crane in realt time, creating a comprehensive log of everyday operation.

Sway Control

Active load stabilization for smooth crane operation

Sway control illustration

Our closed loop antisway system  removes load way  induced by acceleration / deceleration and  sway that's caused by external factors such as wind or  when the hook or grapple is being loaded or unloaded.

Augmented Reality

Safely Navigating in 3D

Augmented Reality Illustration

CraneLink's Augmented Reality features clearly show the grapple or hook's position in 3D space. This is a great help for the operator as they drive the load to its destination, and increases safety and speed.

Path Planning

Optimization of crane movement

Path planning

Our Path Planning system intelligently calculates the optimal movement path for the crane, fully tailored to the operator's priorities and working conditions.
