Overview / Charter

Develop specifications for cranes and hoists. A crane in this context can be any existing or future crane or hoist type (e.g. bridge crane, gantry crane or light crane system) as well as their control units and other peripheral components. Cranes can be equipped with one or more hoists (e.g. electric rope hoist).
The Working Group aims for high interoperability with OPC Robotics.
