Abstract
A system and method of measurement, identification and analysis of material lifting products using remote monitoring. The method includes designing a lift plan for a load including various equipment and a plurality of legs. A lift sensing and monitoring device is selected for each of the legs and connected thereto. Load data is transmitted from each of the lift sensing and monitoring devices during the lift to a mobile receiving and transmitting device. An alert is generated if any tension value from the load data is greater than capacity.
Claims10
A method of measurement, identification and analysis of material lifting products using remote monitoring, wherein the method comprises:
- designing a lift plan for a load including selecting a plurality of legs;
- connecting a required lift sensing and monitoring device for each of said plurality of legs;
- assembling lifting equipment in accordance with said lift plan;
- sensing a load from each of said lift sensing and monitoring devices during a lift operation;
- transmitting load data from each of said lift sensing and monitoring devices during said lift operation to a mobile receiving device;
- and
- generating an alert if any tension value from said load data is greater than capacity.
A method of measurement, identification and analysis of material lifting products wherein said load cell or strain gauge is embedded in a shackle.
A system of measurement, identification and analysis of material lifting products using remote monitoring, which system comprises:
- an assembly of lifting equipment attached to a load, said equipment including a plurality of legs;
- a lift sensing monitoring device connected to each of said plurality of legs;
- load data transmitted from each said lift sensing and monitoring device;
- a mobile receiving and transmitting device receiving said load data from each of said lift sensing and monitoring devices;
- and
- an alarm generator in response to said load data.
