A lengthy discussion was held on the remaining open presentation slots. The CTC has always prided itself on providing a forum for innovation, new technology and helping members/attendees solve their problems through networking and technology exchange. One concept that may be implemented is to have an open-floor discussion where producer attendees can voice an issue to the audience and to let the other attendees provide feedback to the problem. Another concept is to have multiple presentations be made centered around how Industry 4.0 is impacting crane automation. Presentations would include programming for new automated cranes as well as reprogramming older cranes and the lessons learned through experiences. The committee then heard from the Crane Innovator of the Year champions, who individually spoke on behalf of their nominees. Mick Foster championed the use of drone technology for crane inspection.

He touted the technology as a better, safer, cheaper and faster method of doing crane runway and crane structure inspections. The technology could be applied to other structures in industry as well as for crane inspection. Charlie Totten championed the use of rolling glare shield glass in electric overhead traveling (EOT) cranes. The glass would be used in place of the pull-down shades typically used by crane operators to prevent sun glare or to shield a crane operator’s eyes while being exposed to radiant light from molten metal. Liz McCallum championed the study done by Steel Dynamics on crane cab air quality. The study focused on testing the air inside a crane cab and comparing it to the air outside the cab to ensure that the air filtration systems on the crane cabs are properly functioning for the operator’s safety. The last champion, Russ Walters, spoke about the importance of proper grouting techniques for crane rail and runways.

The proper grout for the application must be used to ensure proper compressive strength, impact resistance and service temperature so that it performs properly. The Crane Innovator of the Year Award will be presented at the 25th AIST Crane Symposium. The meeting concluded with an open discussion on member concerns. One item discussed was for future revisions of Technical Report No. 6 to include additional metric conversions and to include lighter-weight cranes that are not EOT-type cranes such as jib cranes and small maintenance cranes. The meeting concluded with a tour hosted by Stuart Driskell of AM/NS Calvert. Jim Dunn, general manager of maintenance, welcomed everyone to the AM/NS facility and gave a description of the facility, its production lines and capabilities.
