Columbus McKinnon has expanded its Intelli-Crane family of automation solutions with the new Intelli-Guide Auto-Dispatch System. Using Magnetek radios, drives and automation programming integrated with motors and brakes, Intelli-Guide allows operators to automatically send a load to different pre-programmed areas in a facility with the push of a button. As the load moves to the programmed destination along a determined route, operators can work on a different task or start on the next step of the production process, increasing productivity and efficiency.

Product Benefits

Improved facility safety With precise positioning and automatic speed control, Intelli-Guide can help streamline operations and improve efficiency. Using automation technology, rather than manually guiding the load through a work area, helps decrease takt time and increase productivity.  Automation technology brings new life to equipment, increasing lifecycles and providing new features to make operations safer and more efficient.
