Conclusion:
Crane operation is a rugged and high-vibration machinery process, which makes the UNO-2170 the perfect anti-vibration control
mechanism to be installed in the crane. Its compact size is the perfect fit for limited space and its fanless design provides reliable
operation. Additionally, FPM-2150 is a lightweight monitor and can easily be installed in the crane. Combining the FPM-2150 and
UNO-2170, provided the perfect solution to upgrade the crane control system. Furthermore, because the monitor and the
computing system are separate, future maintenance on the units can be completed much easier.
It usually took about 20 minutes to get the materials from the warehouse to truck. After installing this new system, the process
is shortened to 10 minutes. Also, it used to require alot of employees to be on the warehouse floor to help manage the material
movement. The new semi-automated system reduces labor costs as well reducing risks to the on-site employees.

Project Introduction:
A customer was using manual crane operation to move the steel inventory in their warehouse, which
required additional employees on the floor to communicate with the crane operator. This was causing
a lot of problems, including; shipment delays, inefficiency, and increased safety risks. By incorporating
Advantech's UNO-2170, FPM-2150, and ADAM-4052 modules, the system was upgraded to a semi-
automated system with reliable operation, improved efficiency, and reduced risks to employees.
System Requirements:
The customer was using an out-of-date method for inventory control in their warehouse. First, the staff
would get the shipment notice from sales, and then inform the crane operator which products to get from
the warehouse via wireless intercom. It usually took a lot of time for this series of communications, and
many employees were needed on the warehouse floor to help direct the crane operator, all of whom were
at safety risk. The customer wanted to improve the efficiency of the crane control system and increase the
workers' safety.
System Description:
When trucks arrive at the warehouse, all information is updated through the RFID reader, which can also
notify the management office in real-time. Then management office can then get the materials request
and send it to the UNO unit in the crane car. From the FPM-2150 monitor, the operator will find the exact
location of the materials through the two ADAM-4052 modules; one for the X-axis and the other for the
Y-axis. Operators can easily execute the pick & place tasks with this efficient, fast-delivery system.
