A device and a method for communicating data link information associated with a machine is provided. The device includes a light source comprising a Light Emitting Diode (LED). The device includes a controller configured to transmit a query, to the machine, for different types of information related to the machine, the different types of information including a first type of information, a second type of information, and a third type of information. Upon receiving a response indicating the availability of one or more types of information among the different types of information, the controller is configured to provide a first indication, a second indication, a third indication, a fourth indication, or a fifth indication. The controller is further configured to transmit data regarding the one or more types of information that are available.

A method and equipment for detecting with smart glasses used by the operator an target intended by the operator; detecting a driving command given by the operator; and responsively to the detection of the driving command steering the loading member or the load towards said target.

A crane system includes crane with a load hook that can be raised or lowered via movable crane elements, and moved within a crane working area by operating drive units associated with the crane elements. The crane system further includes a control unit and a mobile transponder that can be variably positioned in the crane working area, and one or more transmitting/receiving units communicatively coupled to the control unit and configured to receive signals transmitted by the mobile transponder. The control unit is configured to automatically determining the current position of the mobile transponder relative to the load hook and/or a crane element based on the signals received from the mobile transponder, and automatically control the drive units in such that the load hook is automatically moved to the mobile transponder.

The invention relates to an arrangement of a control system arranged, or to be arranged, on a hydraulic lifting device, and of a mobile control module, via which the control system can be remote-controlled. The control system can be supplied with sensor data via signal inputs, and a processing unit of the control system is configured to calculate from said sensor data and from stored lifting device-specific data information, which is characteristic for the current lifting load situation and/or the allowability of work processes on the lifting device, optionally in the given current lifting load situation. The control system has a mode, in which the control system transmits the information that is characteristic for the current lifting load situation and/or the allowability of work processes on the lifting device, optionally in the given current lifting load situation, to the mobile control module, via a transmitting and receiving module, to a transmitting and receiving module of the mobile control module in a wireless and/or cable-bound manner. From said information, a processing unit of the mobile control module calculates graphic data for a display, which can be displayed for a user via a display unit.

There is provided a small remote control device for an actuator of a mobile crane that can be operated by one hand and with which it is easy to perform operations specific to large cranes, the remote control device being provided with: a device body; a plurality of selectors which are each disposed on an operation surface, and which set the operating direction of the actuator selected by movement in a first direction or a section direction from a neutral position to a forward direction or a reverse direction; and a trigger which moves the actuator selected by the selectors in the forward direction or the reverse direction according to the operation amount. Of the plurality of selectors, the two selectors, which are most frequently used in a work preparation step for the mobile crane are disposed adjacent to the vicinity of the center of the operation surface.

A working machines capable of securing safety while enabling remote operation is a working machine configured to be capable of communicating with a remote operation device (40), and includes a communication unit (70a) that receives a manipulate signal from the remote operation device (40), a control unit (70) that controls actuators (51 to 59) mounted in the working machine according to manipulate signals from main operation devices disposed in a cab of the working machine or the remote operation device (40). In a case where a state of the working machine does not fulfill a predetermined condition, the control unit (70) does not allow the remote operation of at least one of the actuators (51 to 59) by the remote operation device (40).

The present disclosure concerns a crane, in particular a tower crane, telescopic boom crane, harbor crane and the like, with a load hook that can be raised or lowered via movable crane elements, and moved within a crane working area by operating drive units associated with the crane elements. The crane is provided with a control unit with input means to control the drive units. According to the present disclosure, the crane uses a mobile portable target signal transmitter that can be variably positioned in the crane working area, and positioning means for automatically determining the current position of the target signal transmitter relative to the load hook and/or a crane element, and target control means for automatically controlling the drive units in response to a signal from the positioning means, such that the load hook is automatically moved to the mobile target signal transmitter.
