Hoist monitoring
OMNI control and NovaMaster

The hoist monitoring systems NovaMaster and the digitally networked successor OMNI control collect and process all parameters of hoist operation. All information can be read out via display or by using the app SWF X-Link.
Time-consuming and inaccurate crane system checks belong to the past.
Going forward, the hoist monitoring system OMNI control will be a cornerstone for digitally optimized work processes and open doors towards all digital network technology of the future to ensure hoist management in perfection. OMNI control makes it easy.

SWF X-Link
App extension

The SWF X-Link app extends the hoist monitoring. The app clearly visualizes all parameters on the users mobile phone on factory floor level. Furthermore, all parameters can be exported in various formats and sent by email. This tremendously facilitates the cooperation with the service technicians onsite prior to regular maintenance inspections. The app is available for download at the AppStore or the Google Play Store. With this first version of the app we enter the remote technology area. Extensions of the app are planned.
In order to be able to work with SWF X-Link and OMNI control, the hoist monitoring system is equipped with a hardware module (gateway). NovaMaster needs to be equipped with a hardware module with antenna for wireless transmission and an adapter cable. The user then simply uses his mobile phone on the factory floor level by connecting to the hoist monitoring system via wireless communication technology.
Reading out and evaluating the parameters with SWF X-Link before the regular maintenance inspections supports the service technicians prior to onsite services. On the day of the hoist service, the data is simply read out, archived and can be any time compared with data from previous onsite services.
