Crane Intelligence with Remote Monitoring via Internet

This paper briefly introduces the concept of Internet-of-Things being used in Industrial Applications. The intelligence feature is nothing but a set of interlocks established so as to extend crane's structure life and reduce accidents. For intelligence feature, data from a VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) is fetched via MODBUS. Remote Monitoring is an extensive feature which allows the user to view data like SPEED (in RPM), TORQUE, and VOLTAGE in Real-Time via Internet. Apart from this, Physical Components Status like BRAKE Condition is also displayed on the Remote Monitor and if there is a fault, the Crane does not operate.
