• The Alpha 4000 is an advanced industrial remote control capable of a wide range of applications.

• The Receiver has an integrated communications port that allows direct, noise free, information exchange with the eTrac module.

•TheeTracmodulefitsseamlesslyintothereceiverboardslot.• The Receiver is designed with changeable relay cards to allow forexpansionormodification.

• The robust Receiver case is made of a durable cast aluminium alloy that provides mechanical and electrical noise shielding.

• The Alpha 4000 can be used on CAN Bus or contactor control cranes.

• RFID Logon stops any unauthorised use of your crane.• Manage crane operators and log how they use the crane.• The A4000 Transmitter comes in two sizes (8 & 12 button) and

is fully customisable.• All functions of the remote control are set via software.• Electromagnetic Induction Charging comes standard, charging

• eTrac hardware is used to connect to customer equipment that has no internet intelligence.

• Each component is modular within itself allowing customisationforspecificneedswhilstalsoallowingaccess to common features.

• The eTrac platform is ideally suited to applications which require centralised reporting, monitoring and control of systems and processes at remote sites.

• Administrative control is provided through a web-based interface while other components include electronic hardware, client / server software modules and databases.

Intelligent Crane Solutions

eTrac is a web based solution that allows the seamless integration of data supporting Predictive Manufacturing Systems (PMS) and Intelligent Maintenance Systems (IMS).CranespecificationsandinformationisstoredintheeTrac system and fed real time data from the eTrac and Alpha control & sensor modules.

This data is compiled into dashboards for the transparent reporting of factory crane life and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), cutting costs and improving production.

Data history retention then allows the use of ‘Prognostics’, predicting the time at which a component will no longer perform its intended function, to forecast maintenance requirements & costs.

H/R departments can monitor staff certifications and training to meet OHS requirements across the company. The Alpha 4000 RFID Logon system allows managers toonlyallocatecertifiedoperatorsontheircranes.

Crane operator performance can be logged to identify repeated incidents that may require further training.

Reports can also be made on demand due to incidents or status requests.

Production managers are able to see which cranes are active or having incidents. Markers can highlight which locations are in need of attention or reporting.

The recorded data can also provide customisable printed reportsthatcanbescheduledforspecificperiods and allocated within the hierarchical structures set by your company.

Incident reports allow the user to select a snapshot in time and review how the incident occurred according to the captured data.

The eTrac Web based platform can view sites from any location at any time on most portable devices. The Dashboards are customisable so that companies can view data in different formats that will be informative to the intended user.

Design Working Period (DWP) reports are designed to meet Australian standards AS1418.1 AS2550. For existing cranes a Dilapidation Survey is required to determine the “remaining life” of the crane, the eTrac platform will then monitor any future use. Financial managers are then able to seek future capital expenditure budgets for refurbishment or replacement.

eTrac supports Administrative and hierarchical access control allowing different data views for different roles.

Real time monitoring gives production and maintenance managers a view of what’s happening acrossthefactoryfloor.SpecialeventscanalsotriggerSMSorEmailnotificationsifrequired.
