Semi-automated die gripper cranes used in stamping plants are changing the landscape of automotive manufacturing. Modern dies with lifting pins at all four corners can be picked up from the die warehouse with a die gripper attachment and loaded onto bolsters on each side of the press. While ordinary cranes need an operator plus a two-man rigging crew to pick up a die, Konecranes die gripper crane allows the operator to do the job alone in semi-automation mode, using cameras mounted on the trolley or the gripper that live-stream a view of the operation to the display on the radio controller.
Plants that are currently using Konecranes newest die gripper cranes and plants using dies that still require traditional rigging have one thing in common: both are using Konecranes semi-automation technologies to reduce the time and manpower required to stamp an individual hood, fender or door skin. Depending on the configuration of the plant, operational time for a single lift can be reduced significantly with Konecranes semi-automation and Smart Features.

Since the basic task of a semi-automatic crane in a warehouse is to move items to and from storage, Konecranes Compact Warehouse Manager (CWM) was created to eliminate the burden of remembering where storage items are located, how many pieces of each type are there, and keeping track of this data on paper. When storage is controlled by CWM, an operator can quickly find an item in storage and instruct the semi-automated crane to go to its location without positioning the crane manually. When moving an item to storage, CWM streamlines the task by proposing a free location, or identifying an existing location with the same type of item to stack them all in one pile.
