Abstract: Provided is a remote control crane system including a remote crane control center (RCCC) having a remote crane controller (RCC), remote crane controls, and a remote crane control activation system that can be activated/deactivated to enable/disable control of a remote controlled crane system by way of the remote crane controls. The RCC operable to receive, by way of the remote crane controls, a remote control command to cause a given operation by the remote controlled crane system, and, in response to determining that the remote controlled crane activation system is activated, send, to the remote controlled crane system, crane remote control data including a command to cause the given operation by the remote controlled crane system.

Abstract: Provided are embodiments of a remote crane system including a remote controlled crane system and a remote crane control center (RCCC). The remote controlled crane system adapted to operate based on local control commands, send, to the RCCC via a communication network, crane operational data corresponding to operation of the remote controlled crane system, and receive, from the RCCC via the communication network, remote control commands, and operate based on the remote control commands. The RCCC including remote crane controls and a remote crane operator interface, and being adapted to receive, from the crane system via the communication network, the crane operational data, and present, via the remote crane operator interface, crane operational information corresponding to the crane operational data, receive, via the remote crane controls, remote control commands and send, to the crane controller via the communication network, crane remote control data including the remote control commands.
