This full automated bulk material handling crane is operating at Wülfrather Zement at Sötenich, Germany. The crane control system is connected into plant management system and it operates unmanned.

Before ICRAS installation the crane load sway was limited using mechanical guidance structure, which is seen under the crane trolley. Hoisting all the way up before every movement caused both loss of operation time and wearing out of the hoist machinery in continuous operation. When the load hit the mechanical anti-sway structure mechanical and electrican shock was caused to crane structure and drives. This often caused failures in the drives and other electrical components.

After ICRAS installation the plant reported up to 37 % increased production rate. Reliability of the crane was also improved significantly. The crane has been in continuous process use several years without any problems.
