Tandem-Control-System · Kran & Sicherheit TCS

TCS keeps heavy loads steady and several cranes in step. A head unit synchronises hoists, bridge and trolley travel over a dedicated radio network; the visualisation shows trolley positions, distances and rope lengths together with the actual difference. Anti-sway takes the swing out of the load: precise positioning, lower accident risk, higher speeds. The radio remote control adds electronic load monitoring, a limit-load switch, a tension measuring rod and independent shutdown on overload or slack rope; service messages, operating hours and vibration data run into the same interface. The system is scalable — the degree of automation can be raised later, up to camera-based fully automatic solutions.

Pipeline process weld monitoring PPS

PPS watches the seam as it forms: weld defects such as stress cracks, pores, burn-through and lack of fusion are detected inline and in real time, and the heat-affected zone (HAZ) is checked via the t8/5 cooling time. Hardness profile and measurement data over lengths up to 13500 mm, documented without gaps. Material problems can be assessed before they turn into damage — and standard-compliant inspection reports are produced along the way.

Monitoring compressed air intelligently Compressed Air Monitoring

In many production plants compressed air is one of the largest drivers of energy use and cost — above all through leakage and avoidable consumption. A service unit with a flow sensor continuously captures consumption and condition data and transmits it via IO-Link for central evaluation. The dashboard visualises pressure, flow, consumption, energy demand, leakage and machine states. For sensitive manufacturing processes such as welding, temperature, relative humidity and dew point are monitored as well. An integrated alerting system detects critical deviations early and reports precisely where action is needed. Historised readings, trends and key figures provide a sound basis for audits, energy optimisation and condition-based maintenance — for fewer compressed-air losses, stable process conditions, lower operating costs and higher plant availability.
