Safety and efficiency are paramount in the fast-paced world of industrial operations. For facilities relying on overhead cranes, avoiding collisions is not just about protecting equipment but also safeguarding personnel and maintaining uninterrupted workflows. Enter the LAC System, a cutting-edge collision avoidance solution designed to redefine the standards of overhead crane safety.
What is the LAC System?
The LAC System is an advanced anti-collision solution powered by LIDAR technology, tailored specifically for overhead crane applications. Unlike traditional systems that depend on reflective targets, the LAC uses its LIDAR capabilities to detect objects directly—making it a more versatile and reliable safety tool.
Key Features of the LAC System
The LAC System comes equipped with innovative features that make it an essential upgrade for any industrial facility:
Object-based detection
The LAC system does not rely on reflective targets, offering greater flexibility. It detects a wide range of objects, including:
Opposite crane girders
Festoon loops
End trucks
Walls
This ensures comprehensive coverage and eliminates the need for additional hardware or meticulous alignment of reflective surfaces.
No Target Maintenance
Forget about the hassle of cleaning or maintaining reflective targets. With the LAC, any object can serve as the detection target, minimizing maintenance needs and keeping operations running smoothly.
Remote Programmability
The LAC system supports programming via a web app, accessible on any Wi-Fi-enabled mobile device. This feature allows users to:
Configure the system conveniently from the ground
Avoid the need to board the crane for adjustments
Save time and reduce risk associated with working at heights
Selectable Bypass Timer
To meet the diverse needs of industrial operations, the system features a selectable bypass timer. This allows users to easily tailor the system's response to specific operational requirements, ensuring a balance between safety and workflow efficiency. Bypass is accessed through web app putting the ability to bypass in the hands of an authorized person only.
Why Choose the LAC System?
The LAC System is not just a collision avoidance tool—it is an investment in long-term operational excellence. Here’s why:
Increased Safety: Its precise object detection reduces the likelihood of accidents, protecting personnel and equipment.
Lower Maintenance Costs: Without reflective targets to mount or clean, the system requires minimal upkeep.
Enhanced Convenience: With ground-level configurability, the LAC eliminates the need for time-consuming and risky crane access.
Versatility: Available in 12-meter and 30-meter ranges. The 30-meter range model cannot only be used for anti-collision but also to maintain minimum distance between cranes to prevent overloading of runway sections.
Applications for the LAC System
The LAC System is ideal for industries such as:
Manufacturing
Warehousing
Automotive production facilities
Its ability to detect diverse objects and provide customizable settings makes it an invaluable tool for businesses prioritizing safety and efficiency.
Final Thoughts
In today’s competitive industrial landscape, adopting advanced safety solutions like the LAC System is a strategic move. Its innovative design, ease of use, and robust performance make it a game-changer for overhead crane applications. By reducing collisions and enhancing operational safety, the LAC enables businesses to focus on what they do best—delivering exceptional results.
