Transporting heavy loads savely at Converteam (Germany)

Converteam, a specialist in traction technology, deploys COPADATA’s

zenon software for visualization and control on large-scale cranes. Converteam’s most important reason for choosing zenon: the flexibility of the software makes it easy to adapt a suitable solution for every traction technology project.


Today, large-scale cranes are used in ports, shipyards and industrial plants worldwide. Customer demands on the cranes are rising steadily: available resources must be used more efficiently, processes must be improved and accelerated. Karl-Heinz Schacht, responsible for automation solutions at Converteam GmbH in Berlin, explains, “The operators of industrial plants are increasing their investments in modern traction technology to establish a high level of performance and, consequently, to reduce handling times.”

 

zenon has been used by the division for the visualization of control and drive technology and the electromechanical equipment of large-scale cranes since the year 2003. zenon displays current states, delivers statistics whilst archiving all the necessary data and makes daily operation more secure, thanks to its alarm functions. Several cranes are integrated vertically in a central station. Therefore, employees can access the current states of all cranes and the common alarm list from a central point.
