Automated system for remote Syncrolift operation

OBJECTIVES The objective of the SYNCROLIFT project is to optimize lifting operations in shipyards which have lift platforms like the one in the figure above. These elevators are known as Syncrolifts. An automated system (SCADA) can be used for visualization and remote control of operations and for appropriate distribution of load cells in the main beams of the platforms; in this way it is possible to monitor the ships load distribution during the lifting operation. This makes it possible to lift ships of greater tonnage safely. Additionally, visualization of the load distribution provides valuable information for later maintenance tasks. In this project we have replaced a control system from the 1970s with the very latest technology. We have also fittedplace 50 load cells to be able to keep track of the ships load distribution during lifting operations.
