OVERHEAD BUFFER DOUBLE-ENTRY DETECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF
An overhead buffer double-entry detection system, which includes an overhead hoist transport, a first sensing unit for scanning and generating detection data of a horizontal range, a driving device for moving the first sensing unit in a vertical range, a controlling unit, and an overhead hoist transport controlling system for sending a detection instruction and a driving instruction to the controlling unit when the overhead hoist transport moves to a corresponding overhead buffer position, whereby the controlling unit bases on the driving instruction to control the driving device to move the first sensing unit in a vertical range, bases on the detection instruction to control the first sensing unit to scan and generate detection data of each horizontal range within the overhead buffer during movement process, and bases on the detection data of each horizontal range within the overhead buffer to judge whether there is obstacle in the overhead buffer.
Construction machine, in particular a crane, and method for the control thereof
A construction machine, in particular in the form of a crane such as a revolving tower crane, having a control apparatus for controlling at least one piece of work equipment of the construction machine using a structure data model that includes digital information on a structure to be erected and/or to be worked. A method of controlling such a construction machine with the aid of digital data from such a structure data model. The construction machine has a data exchange module connectable to the master construction site computer for the exchange of digital data with a master construction site computer, with the data exchange module having reading and/or writing means for reading and/or writing access to the master construction site computer. The construction machine carries out at least individual work steps such as the traveling of a construction element in automated manner using digital data from the master construction site computer. A control module that can be positioned at the load suspension means and/or at the construction element to be traveled and that can be configured as a wearable, in particular in the form of gloves having integrated movement control sensors is provided for the fine positioning.

AUTOMATIC CONTAINER LOADING AND UNLOADING APPARATUS AND METHOD
The present invention provides an automatic container loading and unloading apparatus and method. The apparatus comprises: a data acquisition module, used for scanning a container truck panel to obtain laser point cloud data; a data preprocessing module, used for segmenting a laser point cloud on a surface of the container truck panel from the laser point cloud data; a key point extraction module, used for performing edge extraction on the laser point cloud on the surface of the container truck panel to obtain discrete points on edges of the keel of the container truck panel; and a straight line fitting module, used for performing random sample consensus straight line fitting on the discrete points on the edges of the keel of the container truck panel to obtain spatial straight lines of the edges of the keel of the truck panel. The automatic container loading and unloading apparatus and method provided by the present invention using spatial straight lines on the edges of the keel of the container truck panel for computing processing, thereby achieving stronger robustness and higher accuracy, so that a container is loaded onto the container truck panel with higher precision and lower calculation amount.
SYSTEM, IN PARTICULAR AN INSTALLATION, INCLUDING A MOBILE PART THAT IS MOVABLE ALONG A CODING REGION, AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SUCH A SYSTEM
A system, e.g., an installation, includes a mobile part that is movable along a coding region. A camera is arranged on the mobile part and is connected to an evaluation unit of the mobile part. The coding region has coded regions arranged successively. A one-part or multi-part cover covers coded regions, and has an opening through which an image of the first coded region can be taken by the camera. The evaluation unit is adapted to temporally recurrently determined the deviation of the first coded region with respect to the viewing direction of the camera and/or to the straight line, which is aligned in parallel with the viewing direction of the camera and passes through the central point of the image sensor of the camera, and/or to a reference point in the coding region and immobile relative to the mobile part.
