Unmanned vehicles promote the reform of heavy duty logistics system in steel industry

As one of the core lifting equipment in the steel industry, “crane” helps to improve the efficiency of material handling, reduce the labor intensity and production costs of workers, and ensure the safe production, efficient operation and stable growth of enterprises. However, in the face of industry trends such as overcapacity, steel companies have put forward higher innovation demands on the performance, flexibility, traceability, digitalization and other aspects of workshop production. At the same time, with the continuous innovation and integration of IT, automation and mechanical technology, as well as the wide application and development trend of AI technology, the demand for unmanned and intelligent cranes is growing rapidly.
