Explanation of Wire Rope Inspection Results
Description: Justin Brown - Unirope Director and Product Manager Wire Rope
justin@pythonrope.com During an inspection a wire rope can reveal more than the simple removal criteria outlined in the applicable standards. A wire rope can offer insight into lifting
practices, crane problems and maintenance issues. It can also reveal if it is the right rope for the job. Wire Rope Inspection Results Explained will use real life examples to highlight some of the things we can learn from our inspection
results.

Crane Automation
Description: Ed LaBruna - Janus Automation Partner
ed.labruna@janusautomation.com In a highly competitive environment it becomes critical to optimize the material flow, and to minimize movement of the product and the time
the product spends through the manufacturing process. With the implementation of automatic material movement using cranes, substantial increases in productivity and safety can be obtained. This presentation discusses the key aspects
to take into account for successful implementation, including the selection of the proper technology, safety considerations, logistics optimization and implementation strategies. Several real-life application cases are discussed, including
phase implementations.
