IntelliControl Platform

One Platform. Every Crane. Total Control.

Cloud-Connected Intelligence for Industrial Crane Systems

The IntelliControl webapp is a purpose-built industrial IoT platform that bridges crane PLC hardware to a secure, realtime cloud dashboard accessible from any browser, anywhere in the world. From live electrical readings to automated maintenance records, every part of your crane's operational life is logged, monitored, and actionable.

Section 1 - Who Is This For?

The platform supports a structured hierarchy of users.

Super Admin

Full platform oversight: all devices, all users, infrastructure health, cloud sync, and OTA updates.

Admin / Distributor

Manages assigned IKS devices and end users, configures branding, and generates reports.

End User

Accesses owned device data including realtime values, history, maintenance, and spare parts.

Observer

Read-only access for inspectors, auditors, and third-party stakeholders.

Maintenance User

Dedicated access to maintenance reports and spare parts management.

Section 2 - Device Types Supported

2A - IKS Devices (IntelliKran Safety Controller)

The core of the platform. Each IKS unit is a PLC installed on a crane, communicating over HTTPS with the cloud platform.

  • - Supports single and dual-hoist configurations (H1/H2), auxiliary hoisting (T1/T2), long-travel (LT), and dead-weight protection (DWP)
  • - Side-pull angle sensor monitoring per hoist
  • - Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) integration with fault code decoding
  • - Configurable crane capacity, serial number, location, and OEM metadata
IKS Max crane safety controllerIKS Mini crane safety controller

2B - MA Devices (Access Control Units)

A secondary device category for sites requiring crane access management.

  • - RFID card reader with authorized/unauthorized access logging
  • - Realtime heartbeat monitoring with online/offline detection
  • - Searchable event history by UID, username, role, and date range
  • - CSV export for access logs and remote webserver activation over ESP-NOW

Section 3 - Realtime Monitoring

Live Data. No Delay.

The realtime page polls PLC data continuously and displays up-to-date electrical, mechanical, and safety values. Layouts are customizable and admins can enable or disable data sections per device.

Electrical (L1 / L2 / L3)

  • - Voltage (V), Current (A), and Power (W/kW)
  • - Live rolling charts over a 5-minute scrolling window
  • - Per-phase visibility for faster diagnostics

4C - Energy History

  • - Per-phase power and voltage trends over time
  • - Monthly energy consumption in kWh
  • - Daily per-phase voltage/current/power views
  • - Zero-power filtering to remove idle noise and cleaner analysis

4D - Settings Change History

  • - Full audit trail of every PLC setting change
  • - Rows by variable and columns by recorded change event
  • - Includes changed value, timestamp, and admin user attribution
  • - Horizontally scrollable layout for dense data

Section 5 - Operational Information

Lifecycle Metrics at a Glance

Live PLC counters are organized by mechanical component: Main Hoist (H1/H2), Auxiliary Hoist/Travel, and Load Test. Metrics include SWP measured/total/remaining, work time, overload counters, side-pull counters, slack-load counters, and work cycle counts.

Admins can enable or disable individual variables and sections per device.
