Columbus McKinnon Company Profile

Intelli-Connect Diagnostics and Analytics enable quick and easy programming, maintenance, monitoring, and troubleshooting of overhead cranes and hoists.

Intelli-Connect Diagnostics and Analytics enable quick and easy programming, maintenance, monitoring, and troubleshooting of overhead cranes and hoists.

Intelli-Connect™ Mobile and Mobile+ are comprised of a wireless operator module mounted on a control panel that is connected to a single Magnetek VFD on a hoist or single crane motion via a CAT5 Ethernet cable. The wireless operator creates a wireless network, which is accessible from a personal electronic device (PED), such as a smartphone or tablet. Once linked, Intelli-Connect enables quick and easy programming, maintenance, monitoring, and troubleshooting of VFDs associated with a hoist or crane motion.

  • Intelli-Connect’s diagnostic and analytic capabilities deliver system status information, whether using a smartphone or tablet, to help manage equipment 24/7.
  • Intelli-Connect wirelessly connects to crane equipment located up to 100 feet in the air, enabling safe and quick access to a system’s operation overview. Operators no longer need to climb up to a variable frequency drive (VFD), power down, and connect hardware to access VFD status information, thus eliminating potentially hazardous situations.
  • By incorporating this technology into an overhead crane or hoist, users can proactively monitor and schedule maintenance to ensure the necessary parts and support are available when needed. And, if a system does go down unexpectedly, Intelli-Connect can help reduce mean time to recover (MTTR).
