Intelligent Electromagnetic Crane for Steel Bar Transportation


Against the backdrop of steady implementation of China’s Made in China 2025 initiative, automated unattended production workshops have flourished nationwide. Keeping pace with this industrial intelligent transformation, Weihua has constantly enriched its range of smart material handling equipment. This piece brings you to an automated manufacturing base in Guangxi, where our versatile unmanned overhead electromagnetic crane operates nonstop around the clock to handle steel rebars.


The production site belongs to the Guangxi Engineering Technology Research Center. Supported by big data full-process management and unified integrated system configuration, it has become a model unattended production workshop in the construction industry. As key core equipment, Weihua’s intelligent electromagnetic crane connects Internet Plus thinking with the intelligent production mode of construction materials.

Core Product Highlights

1. Self-developed automatic control system

Equipped with an electric anti-sway component and high-accuracy automatic positioning function, the whole control system is fully researched and developed by Weihua.


2. Autonomous rapid spreader replacement

The crane can intelligently switch different lifting tools corresponding to varied production tasks, requiring no manual operation at all.


3. Unmanned automatic warehousing loading and unloading

- Raw material storage: The crane automatically identifies incoming delivery vehicles and transports steel raw materials to specified storage areas according to delivery documents.

- Material distribution: It independently conveys raw materials to matching feeding stations in line with pre-set production schedules.


4. Automated material circulation transfer

Driven by transfer task lists, the equipment automatically transports semi-finished and finished products to transfer platforms or AGV docking points.


5. Laser profile scanning technology

After transport trucks pull into designated parking spots, onboard laser scanners capture cargo dimension data and transmit real-time positioning information to the control system, enabling fully automatic unmanned unloading.


This versatile unattended electromagnetic crane is a typical representative of modern upgraded intelligent manufacturing. In the future, Weihua will continue to increase investment in technical research and innovation. We will launch custom intelligent handling equipment and personalized system solutions for all types of industries, assisting more manufacturing enterprises in constructing fully automated unmanned production plants.
