PORR Group Unveils Innovative Automation Project “Crahoi” for Digitized Construction Sites – Breaking News
Digitization in the construction industry is in full swing, and the Austrian powerhouse PORR Group is leading the charge with its latest innovation project, “Crahoi”—a revolutionary approach to automating crane operations.
Transforming Construction Processes with Cutting-Edge Technology
PORR Group is embarking on a journey to create a paperless, digitally networked construction process—{LINK TO THEIR REPORT}. This initiative aims not only to increase efficiency but also to ensure safety and reduce operational downtime across construction sites.
The Crahoi Innovation: Crane Hook Identification System
At the heart of PORR’s digitization efforts lies the Crahoi system—a cutting-edge solution for automated detection and documentation of crane movements on construction sites. Utilizing a blend of telematics, sensor, and software technology, Crahoi eliminates manual intervention, food each component transport through automated identification and documentation.
This system employs passive RFID Tags, which require no external power source. Attached to key components, these tags contain a microchip and antenna, making identification and tracking object effortless. Example applications include tracking the movement of concrete components in construction projects to enhance efficiency.
The Benefits of Automated Logistics on Construction Sites
By implementing Crahoi, PORR aims to improve traceability of transport processes, increase safety, and minimize idle times. This technology facilitates real-time digital assignments of transport destinations, even in low-visibility conditions, be it nighttime or adverse weather.
Currently in its pilot phase, the project is being tested across strategic construction sites such as the Leopoldquartier in Vienna. Once matured, Crahoi will seamlessly integrate with Building Information Modeling (BIM), further enhancing logistics and construction planning workflows.
Setting a New Standard in Construction Automation
PORR’s venture is a testament to its broader strategic approach to integrating digital solutions within construction operations. As Porr AG continues to advance in digitization, Crahoi promises to be a key differentiator, contributing to an innovation advantage in an industry traditionally driven by analog methods.
Furthermore, this initiative aligns with the demands of industries that require meticulous record-keeping, aligning with both regulatory demands and improving operational efficiency.
