Process:

So now i´d like to turn to the next point, Process.

Next we will see the steps that the crane operator performs when transporting a load to a
building.

At first, a crane is used to load the materials to the truck to be able to transport it to the job
site. Then when the truck is on the job site, the operator begins to lower the hook until it reaches
the load and hook it up. Once the load is attached to the hook, the operator begins to slowly raise
the load to avoid accidents. Once the hook is at the desired height the operator begins to
approach the roof of the building horizontally. Finally, when the load is in the building, it is untied
and the hook is removed to hook the next load. These steps are repeated as many times as
necessary

Origins:
so the next point is, the origins of the tower crane

Firts of all, To start talking about the first tower cranes, we must know the history of cranes in
general. The first cranes were composed of simple mechanisms and were powered by animals or
people. These were designed and used by the ancient Greek empire, where the first indications
date from 5th century. The first mechanical exercises performed in writing were done by
Aristoteles ( 384-322 b.C).

These cranes were adopted by the Romans, who later developed improvements and new
cranes. Among them were tripasto, pentapasto and polipasto.

At the end of the high middle ages (approx. 10th century), manuscripts were found with
sketchs from tower cranes, formed by a column and an upper beam in projecting. In the first half
of the 20th century, these began to be produced, because they were suitable for the narrow
streets of the European cities. The first company to manufacture them, it was Maschinenfabrik
Julius Wolf & Co. Which introduced them in 1908 and were specifically designed in the
construction of buildings, with electic motors and more advanced cable and pulley sistems. Few
changes have been made to date, added security systems and hydraulic systems.

Future Developments:

And finally,let´s move on to the last point, Future Developments.

The IntSite company will develop a new system for handling tower cranes with artificial
intelligence. This new technology will allow jobs to be carried out more quickly and effectively. It
will also provide more safety to the crane operator. This system will use artificial vision
technology, machine learning and deep learning.
 The idea is to improve the crane by adding software with devices that calibrate and program
the operation before carrying out a job.

The Institute of Software Technologies will begin to create smaller-scale simulations in order to
detect objects and work area learning so that once in progress, it can move autonomously around
the work. It should be noted that each machinery will have its own operator, as the system could
fail.

Another innovation that is being studied for the future, the posibility that the crane will use
solar energy to power the electric motors responsible for driving the cables and the crane's
movements. This technology is under study by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers, since, in it implementation, the solar panels should produce approximately 200kW / h
for each electric motor, knowing that a domestic solar panel produces 1kW / h.

That is the end of our presentation, thank you for listening.
