OVERHEAD CRANE SAFETY AI · SUSPENDED LOAD MONITORING

Suspended Load Detection.

Identify people, rigging pathways, and pedestrian drop-zone risks beneath overhead cranes using AI-powered video analytics. YAFE projects dynamic drop-shadow safety cones from existing ceiling cameras to prevent workers from walking underneath heavy hoisted loads. Integrates with virtual safety geofences and PPE detection to secure high-hazard lifting bays.

THE SAFETY CHALLENGE

Keep People Away From Moving Overhead Loads.

Overhead cranes, gantries, and jib hoists transport multi-ton steel coils, engine blocks, and ladles across open shop floors. Functioning as an advanced crane collision avoidance system, YAFE identifies rigging swing, structural interference, and pedestrian drop-zone intrusions in sub-15ms latency.

✓ Crane Collision Avoidance System: Dynamic multi-crane and hoist tracking eliminates crane-to-crane and load collisions in active shared bays.

✓ Dynamic Safety Exclusion Zones: Automatically expands safety radii based on load dimensions and transit speed.

✓ Instantaneous Operator Warning: Visual beacons warn crane cabin operators when blind-spot pedestrians cross underneath.

✓ Floor Projector & Strobe Trigger: Activates boundary lasers and floor strobes to alert walking ground personnel.

HOW IT WORKS

From Video Feed to Crane Drop-Zone Protection

Real-time computer vision tracking hoists, hooks, and pedestrians simultaneously.

Ceiling Camera Input

Overhead CCTV cameras capture wide-angle downward perspectives of the crane bay. Learn how our edge video analytics pipeline processes camera streams.

AI Hook & Load Tracking

Models detect crane hooks, wire rope rigging, and suspended materials in real time.

Dynamic Exclusion Cones

Algorithms project floor-level drop shadow boundaries dynamically as the crane traverses.

Audible Strobe Alerts

Triggers floor warning strobes and operator cab displays when personnel breach the drop zone.

APPLICATION ENVIRONMENTS

Proven Protection for Heavy Lifting Operations

Engineered for high-tonnage industrial environments where mechanical failures are catastrophic.

Steel Mills & Foundries

Heavy Fabrication Bays

Monitoring large structural beam lifts, pressure vessel assemblies, and dual-hoist tandem operations.

Automotive Press Shops

Safeguarding die-changeover operations where overhead bridge cranes position 40-ton stamping dies.

Shipyards & Ports

Securing open lifting corridors around gantry cranes handling pre-fabricated ship blocks and containers.
