Demag Remote Operating Station (ROS)

The remote control station for process cranes: everything safely in view

The Demag Remote Operating Station makes it possible for you to control your process crane from a remote “virtual crane cab.” This can be located in a control room or several hundred kilometres away. Whatever the case, the operator can benefit from the best view of the process and a user-friendly workplace.

The virtual crane cab offers the best conditions for concentrating on work. The operator has all the control elements in front of him/her that are normally installed in a crane cab: joysticks with adjustable armrests and a touchpad or tablet as a human-machine interface for the safety-relevant crane systems.

A widescreen monitor provides a view of the process, receiving real-time images from several cameras. The screen layout with up to eight individual images can be configured by the operator as required. A dashboard with process-relevant information can be displayed. Speakers integrated into the monitor make the operating environment even more realistic.

Process cranes for the paper industry

Increasing productivity and efficiency

In the paper industry, the wet and dry ends of paper machines need to be supplied with a high level of reliability and they have to be equipped ready for any maintenance work that needs to be done. In addition, rolls of paper have to be stored and retrieved gently, precisely and efficiently. To meet these diverse requirements, we have developed special solutions that provide for reliable processes in paper mills and stores:

• Cranes to serve paper machines
• Cranes to serve roller cutters
• Automated process cranes to serve paper roll stores
• Warehouse management systems

Process cranes for metal handling

Process cranes for metal production

Our cranes perform with the reliability of steel

Difficult loads, high or extremely fluctuating ambient temperatures: the harsh operating conditions in foundries demand high levels of safety and functional reliability for crane systems. Our solutions offer high levels of flexibility and performance:

• Magnet cranes to transport billets
• Cranes to transport rolls (roll grinding shop)
• Cranes in the annealing shop, pickling plant and in the shipping store
• Charging cranes
• Workshop cranes.

Process cranes for the automotive industry

Boost your processes for more performance

Efficiency is decisive in the automotive sector. That not only applies to the cars, but production processes must also run smoothly. For decades, Demag has supplied many sectors with cranes for safe, reliable and optimized process sequences. Car production starts in the press plant. Wherever tools weighing several tons need to be automatically transported for optimized tooling times, Demag can supply customized cranes equipped with tool grippers.

Tasks can include:

• Tools stored in up to 5 layers above each other
• Tools placed on the press transfer stations as required

Reliability and high performance

Process cranes for recycling and bulk material

In refuse incineration installations, facilities for refuse-derived fuels, cogeneration plants and in the cement industry, the requirements to be met by cranes are particularly high. These demands include heat, dust and aggressive environments. Our process cranes are ideally equipped for these applications – and can deliver their performance without any limitations. What other benefits do they offer?

• Optimum design for serving stores and bunkers: fully automatic, semi-automatic and manual control
• Laser-assisted height measurement
• Full operation around the clock
• Our own software for control and visualization

High safety, reliability and precision

Process cranes for the aviation industry

Large parts have to be regularly lifted, turned and positioned on assembly lines in the aviation industry. The process cranes and hoist units that are used in these applications have to provide correspondingly high performance, which has to match the specific requirements precisely. Our solutions to meet these needs pave the way in industry.

• Suspension cranes with multiple suspensions to bridge large building spans
• Cranes with latching devices for trolley transfer to link various working areas
• Cranes with rotating crabs for optimum use of the available space
• Telescoping platforms for maintaining, overhauling and applying the paint finish to aircraft
• Workshop cranes for turbine maintenance.
