Everything You Need to Run a Smarter Crane Fleet

Enterprise-grade crane monitoring, without the enterprise complexity.

Real-Time Operations

Live data streams, IO status monitoring and instant fault detection across every connected crane and piece of equipment.

Cycle & Throughput Analytics

Track cycle times, lifts per hour, tonnage and utilisation with benchmarked design-vs-actual reporting.

Smart Alerts & Alarms

Configurable alarm rules with cross-device conditions, severity levels and email plus in-app notifications.

Flexible IO Mapping

Digital, analog, current loop, CAN bus (J1939) and Modbus TCP/RTU. Map any signal to a meaningful crane metric.

Multi-Tenant Security

Complete data isolation per organisation with role-based access control, audit trails and API-key authentication.

AI-Powered Insights

Machine learning analysis for predictive maintenance, efficiency optimisation and operator coaching recommendations.

Built for Every Type of Crane

From bulk-handling terminals to steel mills, AI Crane is used by port operators, construction groups, waste-to-energy plants, and heavy-industry sites across the UK and Europe.

Ports & Terminals

Ship-to-shore, RTG and grab crane monitoring for container and bulk terminals.

Bulk Material Handling

Grab crane cycle-time optimisation for waste-to-energy, recycling and minerals.

Steel & Heavy Industry

Overhead and EOT crane monitoring with duty-cycle and fault tracking.

Construction & Infrastructure

Tower and mobile crane telemetry for large civil and building projects.

Why Teams Choose AI Crane

The outcomes operators, engineers and senior management actually measure.

Reduce Unplanned Downtime

Catch faults before they escalate with predictive alerts and historic trend analysis — typical crane stoppages cost thousands per hour.

Increase Throughput

Benchmark cycle time against design rate, identify bottlenecks and coach operators to reach target lifts-per-hour.

Plan Maintenance Smarter

Duty-cycle tracking and fault histories let you schedule maintenance around real usage, not fixed calendar intervals.

Data-Driven Decisions

Custom dashboards and exports give engineering, operations and commercial teams one source of truth.

Operator Performance

Objective, per-shift scoring highlights top performers and coaching opportunities — fairly and transparently.

Works With Your Signals

Connect digital, analog, CAN bus and Modbus sources. No expensive controller swap or ground-up rewire required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about AI Crane and industrial IoT monitoring.

What is AI Crane and what does it monitor?

AI Crane is an industrial IoT platform that monitors crane fleets in real time. It tracks cycle times, lift counts, throughput, energy consumption, operator performance, and fault conditions across grab cranes, ship-to-shore cranes, rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) cranes, overhead cranes, tower cranes and mobile cranes.

Which communication protocols are supported?

AI Crane supports digital IO, analog voltage and current loop signals, CAN bus (including J1939 and custom CAN IDs) and Modbus TCP/RTU. Signals can be mapped and chained to derive higher-level metrics without writing code.

How does predictive maintenance work in AI Crane?

The platform continuously evaluates operating signals, duty cycles and fault histories against configurable alarm rules. AI models surface emerging trends — such as rising motor currents, increasing cycle variance, or repeat warning alarms — so engineers can intervene before a failure causes downtime.

Can AI Crane be used alongside other equipment?

Yes. The companion AI Cube product uses the same platform to monitor conveyors, compressors, pumps, power systems and any IO-capable equipment, so you get a single operational picture across mixed fleets.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — you can start a 14-day free trial of AI Crane with no credit card required. Setup takes minutes once you have connectivity to your crane controllers or data sources.
