RTG crane operations often take place in harsh environments with high temperatures, humidity, dust, and strong electromagnetic interference. Traditional wired networks are difficult to deploy and maintain, while conventional Wi-Fi networks cannot provide the stability and low latency required for precise remote crane control.

Hongdian provides a high-reliability 5G industrial networking solution for RTG crane systems, enabling low-latency communication, precise positioning, intelligent edge processing, and centralized remote management for safer and more efficient crane operations.

Background

RTG crane systems face several communication and operational challenges:

• Traditional wired networking is complex to deploy and prone to aging in harsh environments  
• Wi-Fi coverage is unstable in large metal-intensive industrial sites  
• Crane operators work in high-temperature and high-noise environments with safety risks  
• Conventional networks with latency above 50ms cannot meet real-time control requirements  
• Strong electromagnetic interference affects communication reliability  

These challenges reduce operational efficiency and increase safety risks in industrial crane operations.

Solution

Hongdian delivers a high-performance RTG crane remote control solution powered by the H8891 5G outdoor router.

• The H8891 integrates into the crane control system and supports 5G LAN networking for Layer 2 communication without relying on traditional routing protocol conversion  
  
• Ultra-low latency communication enables real-time interaction between cranes and ground control systems, with one-way latency below 15ms  
  
• A private 5G network ensures reliable connectivity and enhanced signal coverage in metal-intensive industrial environments  
  
• Integrated GPS/BeiDou positioning combined with crane track encoder data enables high-precision positioning and reduced lifting errors  
  
• Edge computing capabilities support real-time processing of LiDAR and visual sensor data for collision risk warning and intelligent operation  
  
• Sandora enables centralized remote management and monitoring of deployed Hongdian routers across crane systems  

This solution improves operational efficiency, enhances safety, and supports intelligent industrial automation.
