Metals/Steel Distance Measurement Collision Avoidance
Optimally Suited for all Cranes and Vehicles Metals meet Symeo High Efficiency in the Steel Industry ith Radio- and Satellite-Based Positioning Profuse steam, smoke, vibrations and extreme temperatures in steel manufacturing place high demands on solutions for reliably positioning cranes, vehicles and metal products such as slabs, coils and heavy plates, don to the centimeter. To meet these challenging requirements, Symeo provides robust sensor and GNSS systems for precise distance measurement, highly-accurate position detection and secure collision avoidance. Additionally, telemetry data can be captured and transmitted - radio-based and WiFi-independent. More than 80 steel companies orldide have equipped over 800 cranes and vehicles ith Symeo solutions to optimize key operational processes. Symeo products are optimally suited for both indoor and outdoor applications and offer the benefits of: 2 High reliability Extreme robustness No maintenance Distance Measurement Collision Avoidance.symeo.com Symeo solutions are suitable for all types of cranes and vehicles in the steel industry including: Forklifts Gantry Cranes Ladle Cranes Shuttle Cars Slab/Coil Carriers Suspension Cranes EOT Cranes Mobile Equipment used for Coke Oven Operations Other Mobile Equipment Symeo position detection, distance measurement, telemetry and collision avoidance sensors can be deployed to optimize processes such as: Crane and Vehicle Automation Warehouse Management Material Flo Tracking Transport Management Loading/Unloading Processes Personnel and Equipment Safety 3
, Distance Measurement, Short- and long-range distance measurement ith radar Radar-based Symeo 1D sensors enable centimeter-precise long- and short-range distance measurements for indoor and outdoor applications. Unlike conventional encoders or laser systems, the Symeo radar technology orks reliably even in challenging environments here dirt, dust, high temperatures and vibrations are common. Reliable distance measurement ranging up to 1,000 m Unaffected by dirt, dust and vibrations Lo investment costs.symeo.com Automatic positioning of metal plates based on highly-precise location data Reduced storage times Product tracking, don to the exact storage slot Eliminates product searches Whenever a large number of cranes and heavy-duty vehicles move around in relatively confined spaces, collisions are not unusual. Symeo collision arning systems detect the position of each vehicle and transmit the information via radio communication to the other participants. Exact indoor position detection of vehicles and cranes, such as in coking plants or coil storage areas, is ensured by radio-based, ear-resistant Symeo 2D sensors. The measurement data is reliably captured ith centimeter accuracy and transmitted in real-time. For outdoor applications, the radio-based sensors are combined ith satellite-based systems to provide seamless and ubiquitous position detection. Robust, maintenance-free and ear-resistant Exact positioning, even under high temperatures Optimally suited for indoor/outdoor applications Radio-based LPR sensors support modern arehouse management systems by precisely identifying metal products such as slabs during transport and delivery, allocating optimal storage positions and efficiently coordinating the process sequence. The sensors can reliably detect individual crane movements, leading to a seamless product identification. Typical requirements for rolling mills are maximum utilization of the cranes and short order throughput times. Once the metal products come out of the rolling mill, they have to be temporarily stored in various locations. The installation of a crane coordinate system based on Symeo LPR technology ensures reliable tracking of the material flo. Reliable collision arning system for cranes and vehicles Centimeter-precise arehouse management Material flo tracking in rolling mills Robust, highly-precise position detection indoors and outdoors 4 Collision Avoidance and Precise identification of products such as metal slabs Seamless tracking facilitates material flo Optical and acoustic arning signals Collision danger is calculated by tracking the direction and speed of the cranes/vehicles 100% coverage inside and outside the hot storage area and flame scarfing shop Real-time recording and transmission of telemetry and vehicle data Supplementary information such as the load status and telemetry data of all vehicles can also be recorded. The information is transmitted to the existing IT system using a variety of methods that includes WiFi, mobile radio, ireless modem and the LPR ireless channel. Typical vehicle data includes: Speed Driver ID Load status Energy consumption 5
