Paradigm shift by Automation 15 years ago


Paradigm shift by Automation Future outlook - Adding value to each movement

Clayton M. Christensen

„DisruptiveTechnologies“


Automation of EquipmentExample: RTG Cranes

Electrification:flexible

Positioning:accurate

• Absolute Positioning System independentfrom external influences

• Position accurancy up to ± 1 mm

• PN / PB / Ethernet Interfaces for Plug andPlay Integration

Data Communication:safe

• Highly shielded datacommunication

• Up to 100Mbit/s grossrate

• Low latency times

• Interfaces Ready for Automation - Ethernet, Profinet & Profinet Safe

• Electrification byConductor Rails

• Automated Power Connection for block changes

• Automated seamless switching

Control systems:smart

• Autosteering• Power measurement• Remote Maintenance• Energy optimization
