3. Importance of Cranes in Industries • Enable efficient lifting and transport of heavy loads • Critical in construction, steel, manufacturing, and logistics • Improve operational safety and productivity • Reduce dependency on manual labour • Essential for uninterrupted production processes

4. Why IoT is Necessary • Real-time health monitoring of crane components • Predictive maintenance to avoid sudden breakdowns • Automated alerts to enhance operational safety • Data analytics to optimise performance and reduce costs • Centralised monitoring via IoT-enabled Crane Command Centre (CCC)

5. Key Health Parameters to Monitor 1. Temperature 2. Vibration 3. Power Consumption 4. Wire Rope Tension Each parameter enables anomaly detection, alerting, and predictive maintenance.

6. Temperature Analysis Why it matters: • Prevents insulation damage, gearbox oil breakdown, premature wear, and fire hazards. Detection methods: • Thermocouples / RTDs • Infrared (IR) thermography • Thermistors • IoT-enabled smart temperature sensors

7. Vibration Analysis Why it matters: • Detects imbalance, misalignment, looseness; prevents bearing damage. Detection methods: • Accelerometers • Proximity probes • Ultrasonic sensors • Laser Doppler vibrometers • FFT analysis

8. Power Consumption Analysis Why it matters: • Identifies inefficiencies, overloads, and electrical faults. Detection methods: • Smart energy meters • Current transformers (CTs) • Voltage sensors • IoT gateways for cloud logging

9. Wire Rope Tension Analysis Why it matters: • Prevents rope fatigue and breakage; avoids drum slippage and crane instability. Detection methods: • Load cells / tension sensors • Strain gauges • Magnetic flux leakage (MFL) • Ultrasonic inspection

10. Implementation Examples & Use Cases • Overhead cranes in steel plants • Tower cranes on construction sites • Mining hoists • Elevator/hoist safety systems

11. Sensors, Hardware & Software Sensors: • Thermocouples / RTDs, IR cameras • Accelerometers, proximity probes • CTs, voltage sensors, load cells Software: • MQTT, Grafana, ThingsBoard • Python analytics, cloud ML • Alerts via SMS/email

12. System Architecture Sensors → Edge gateway → Secure network → Crane Command Centre → Maintenance actions

13. Conclusion & Recommendations • Prioritise temperature & rope-tension sensors • Implement edge analytics • Integrate historical logging for ML • Pilot test before full deployment
