Advanced digitization and monitoring with Ikol of 30/30 TN overhead cranes for Navantia
Company
Following the electrical modernization of the 30/30 TN bridge crane, Navantia needed to take a leap forward in control, safety, and maintenance by incorporating a digital solution that would provide real-time information on the status and use of its bridge cranes.
The goal was to digitize the cranes without interfering with their operation, providing key information for decision-making and maintenance optimization.
Challenge
Implement a comprehensive digitization solution for operating overhead cranes, capable of collecting, analyzing, and visualizing critical data, with local and remote access, and ready for future scalability.
Problem
- Lack of operational visibility:
There was no real-time information on the status, usage, and performance of the cranes. - Reactive maintenance:
Interventions were carried out after faults occurred, increasing costs and downtime. - Lack of traceability:
It was impossible to analyze work cycles, maneuvers, and component wear. - Limitations in safety and control:
Lack of digital tools to improve control and risk prevention.
Solution
How we do it?
We implemented a non-intrusive digitization solution that connects overhead cranes to an intelligent analysis and monitoring platform, allowing Navantia to gain full visibility of its critical assets and optimize their long-term operation and maintenance.
