Development of Automatic Coil Recognition System for Automated Crane

Abstract

New Automatic Coil Recognition System has been developed for the purpose of full automated crane operation in the steel coil transportation fields where great demand for automation can be expected. The sensed information including the coil position and the dimensions from the Automatic Coil Recognition System are sent to the crane operating controller and these information will enable the crane to operate with full automatic mode from the transportation work of the coils on the trailer truck which has been forced to work manually. This report describes the summary of the Automatic Coil Recognition System, its algorithm and the result of performance test in accuracy.
