Have had a problem dropped in our lap in regard to positioning of overhead gantry cranes. Is a new 200M long building with 2 adjacent bays with 5 cranes each. Basic issue is if cranes in adjacent bays are hoisting in same zone, building will fall down... Customer wants a system to track positions relative (to building and each other) and interlock hoist functions if necessary..
Knee jerk "how to achieve" seems most practical on each crane adding a encoder to the long travel, input to a PLC sitting on a wireless network. Also thought about lazer distance between, but not sure if alignment will be a problem...
Looking for any brilliant suggestions, which cost not a lot ??
