Maximize Safety and Operating Efficiency with PAR Anti-Sway Crane Systems

PAR EXPERTOPERATOR™ anti-sway crane control system allows for the movement of payloads in a swing-free manner, allowing crane operators to reduce payload swing by 85-95%

PAR anti-sway crane control protects your operators and bottom line.

Investing in an anti-sway crane system enhances workplace safety and provides financial advantages by reducing downtime and maximizing productivity.

Increase Productivity & Cycle Time by up to 40%

EXPERTOPERATOR™ is an advanced motion control system. PAR’s motion control software uses unique algorithms that enables crane operators to more easily, quickly, and safely control the movements of payloads. EXPERTOPERATOR™ anti-sway crane control system has been proven to:

  • Increase safety of personnel and equipment
  • Improve cycle time by up to 40%
  • Reduce operator training time
  • Provide more accurate load placement
  • Reduce crane maintenance and extend crane life

Benefits of EXPERTOPERATOR™

  • No Adjustments Needed: For height, sling length or load.
  • Increased Safety and Collision Prevention: Load sway prevention reduces risk of equipment damage and personal injury.
  • Minimized Downtime: This retrofit solution integrates into your existing hardware platform with typical installation time and of one day.
  • Increased Productivity: Hundreds of operator studies demonstrate that cycle time improves by 10% to 40%.
  • Maintenance Reduction: EXPERTOPERATOR is the only anti-sway crane technology that does not require sensors of any kind, even with complicated rigging configurations.
  • No Operator Inputs Required: The sensorless system’s predictive algorithm seamlessly adjusts to any hook height, eliminating the need for manual height inputs.
  • Compatibility: Seamlessly works with existing VFDs, radio and tethered pendants with continuous or multi-step functionality.
  • Increased Accuracy: Accurate load placement is simple because operators focus on positioning rather than swing correction.
  • Minimal Training: Novice operators perform as well as their experienced counterparts, reducing the need for extensive training.

SAFEMOVE™

Collision Prevention

SAFEMOVE enhances an operator’s ability to make complex moves safely and avoid collisions between payloads and surrounding equipment. Virtual safety zones can be easily configured throughout the workspace and quickly enabled and disabled. SAFEMOVE can limit crane motion in multiple regions throughout the workspace and can be used in conjunction with EXPERTOPERATOR technology.

CRANEVISION™

Side Load and Snag Detection

CRANEVISION is a combination of advanced motion controls and machine vision technologies. Vision-based crane manipulation helps the operator avoid side pull and snag conditions for safer crane operations. With CRANEVISION, the crane is made safer and smarter. Dangerous conditions, like off-center hoists and snags, can be detected and appropriate action taken to avoid accidents.

AUTOMOVE™

Automatic Positioning

AUTOMOVE allows for automatic and precise payload positioning utilizing standard crane controls. Automatic motion can be initiated and monitored by an operator. AUTOMOVE builds on the foundation of PAR’s proprietary anti-sway crane technology, which permits cranes to move without payload swing.
