  • Spreader position control
    Patent number: 12071328
    Abstract: A method of providing position control information for controlling the movement of a spreader (400) of a crane (10) towards a spreader target position is disclosed. The method comprises measuring both the distance to the loading/unloading target position (32, 36) and the distance to a position of the spreader (400) for determining both a loading/unloading target position (32, 36) and the position of the spreader (400) in a fixed coordinate system. The method also comprises causing position control information corresponding to the position of the spreader (400) and the loading/unloading target position (32, 36) to be transmitted to the crane (10).

  • Method for relative positioning of a spreader
    Publication number: 20230286781
    Abstract: There is provided an apparatus comprising means for: receiving a first image of a first feature of a load; receiving a second image of a second feature of the load; determining image plane coordinates of the features of the load based on the first image and the second image; determining one or more action candidates based on the image plane coordinates; evaluating the one or more action candidates using an intermediate medium embodying historical experience information within a finite time horizon; choosing a control action based on the evaluation, wherein the control action causes a spreader to move with respect to the load.
