MATLAB GUI-Based Lifting Optimization Decision System for Multiple-Lifts-Single-Crane

Abstract:

Combined with powerful mathematical capability of MATLAB and the excellent interfacial design function of GUIDE, a lifting optimization decision system for multiple-lifts-single-crane is proposed which is feasible in electrical equipment lifting tasks. Based on existing approaches, a novel algorithm is proposed for selecting appropriate cranes and determining their corresponding optimum locations, resulting a lifting optimization system. This system can minimize the number of crane locations on the premise of avoiding potential spatial conflicts. To investigate its performance, a case example is conducted. It is demonstrated that the utility of this system for multiple-lifts-single-crane lifting tasks which also allow users have a deeper intuitive judgment to the lifting process.
