Anand Systems Launches AI Safety System for EOT Cranes
Mumbai-based Anand Systems Engineering Private Limited has recently launched an AI-powered Human Detection System designed to improve workplace safety by identifying workers standing or moving beneath suspended crane loads. The technology aims to reduce the risk of crane-related accidents through real-time monitoring and automated warnings.
The system uses two industrial cameras mounted on an Electric Overhead Travelling (EOT) crane to monitor the area beneath the load. An AI model trained on overhead images identifies people and tracks the crane hook, creating two circular danger zones that move with the suspended load.
When a worker enters a designated danger zone, the system activates a warning light and hooter, alerting personnel to potential hazards. It can also slow down or stop crane operations through a relay contact, with a response time of less than one second.
The technology operates through an onboard processor installed within the crane-mounted control panel, allowing it to function without an internet connection. A monitoring dashboard provides live camera feeds, alert histories and information on the time individuals spend within restricted zones.
The system is already operational on a crane at a steel manufacturing facility in Pune, where it was refined using site-specific camera images during commissioning.
"Every lift should end with everyone going home," said Rohit Dewani of Anand Systems Engineering, highlighting the importance of monitoring areas that crane operators cannot always see.
Designed for industrial applications, the system supports single- and double-girder EOT cranes, gantry cranes and semi-gantry cranes. It operates with hook heights ranging from 5 m to 20 m and uses 4 MP industrial cameras with IP66 protection. An optional third camera can be installed for wider operating bays.
The system also incorporates outputs for warning lights, hooters and crane-stop functions, alongside a lockable IP54 control panel powered by a 230 V AC supply.
Anand Systems Engineering offers site surveys and on-site evaluations to assess system performance on customers' cranes before commissioning.
Established in Mumbai in 2007, the company manufactures EOT crane components, including DSL busbars, radio remote controls, thruster brakes, limit switches and master controllers. The introduction of AI-based safety technology marks an expansion of its portfolio into intelligent industrial safety solutions.
