SIMOCRANE CMS Crane Management System

The SIMOCRANE CMS Crane Management System is a PC‑based visualization software (SCADA) providing operational data and diagnostic information for crane operators, maintenance personnel, and plant operators.

It also supports maintenance personnel evaluating operational hours and load cycle counters for the entire terminal using the Remote Crane Management System. Crane‑specific market applications are delivered with SIMOCRANE CMS, e.g. Replay function for playing back the crane operator actions, container operating data statistics and reporting, own designed objects for crane applications, remote crane diagnosis, etc.

The crane management system SIMOCRANE CMS includes various components:

• Crane controller
  • CMS standard package for local installation on the crane (e.g. fault diagnosis, Replay)
  • CMS options (e.g. multi‑terminal operation, advanced reporting)
