Industries · Cranes

Flowtics for cranes & material handling. Every lift counted, every crane serviced on time.

Flowtics reads the crane’s PLC and counts lifts, loads and running hours. Service is planned on how hard each crane has really worked, and overloads and faults reach the right person at once.

The machines

Built for the machines you run.

Cranes and handling equipment that keep the whole plant moving, and stop it when they fail.

  • EOT cranes

    Lifts, loads and hours on the main and auxiliary hoist.

  • Gantry cranes

    Travel, hoist motor temperature and limit switches.

  • Jib cranes

    Lifts per shift and running hours.

  • Hoists

    Load, starts per hour and brake wear by count.

  • Transfer cars

    Moves, position faults and drive status.

  • Conveyors

    Running time, stops and motor load.

What Flowtics reads

The numbers your work runs on.

Read straight from the PLC, shown live and kept for reports. If a reading isn’t in your PLC, we tell you on the free visit.

  • 01

    Load on the hook

    Live load against the rated capacity, and every overload attempt.

  • 02

    Lifts and cycles

    Lifts per hour, per shift and in total: the number service runs on.

  • 03

    Running hours

    Hoist, cross travel and long travel, counted apart.

  • 04

    Motor temperatures

    Hoist and travel motors, with the limit drawn on the trend.

  • 05

    Limit switches and trips

    Every limit hit and trip, with the time and how long.

  • 06

    Starts per hour

    Too many starts wear brakes and motors; Flowtics counts them.

Who it’s for

Whether you build these machines or run them.

If you build them

  • See every crane you have installed, at every customer, with lifts and hours live.
  • Run AMCs on real lifts and hours, and show your customer why a service is due.
  • Know about an overload or a fault before the customer calls.
For machine builders

If you run them

  • See which crane is overworked and which stands idle.
  • Service brakes and ropes on real use, before they stop a bay.
  • Every overload attempt on record, with the time and the load.
For factories
