DIGITILISATION | TECHNOLOGY REPORT
of the CANbus network will make additional hardware or tools completely unnecessary. We will be launching a gateway modem, a new family of radio remote controls, and simple-to-use apps for programming. All components are based on bus technology. This technology links the electrical components and they communicate with each other via the bus system. In this context OMNI control will be at the heart of the digitalisation of the crane system in future. “SWF is launching the entire package on the market in several consecutive steps. OMNI control and VARIO control
were launched late last year. The new gateway modem, the new family of radio remote controls as well as the apps for programming OMNI control and VARIO control are currently under development.” “Compared to the predecessor
NovaMaster, OMNI control is more flexible when it comes to integration in frequency-controlled lifting. It has more programmable inputs and outputs and can process a higher number of simultaneous tasks.” Is this then the full interconnectedness
of Industry 4.0? Not quite, they say. “In the current implementation phase
pure crane data are processed. In the future, equipment from SWF Krantechnik will provide an interface for the exchange of master data. With the gradual modernization of all electrical components SWF Krantechnik is laying the foundation, and this is an ongoing process that we are continuing to pursue. Our product portfolio already serves the entire needs of today’s market but there are still some steps to go to realize the full implementation of Industry 4.0.” So if we are not quite at Industry 4.0 yet,
still we are on the way. Should we say that we are at Industry three-and-a-half? ●
