A camera and a laser radar are attached to the hoist of an overhead crane. Image data and three-dimensional point clouds are acquired during operation and accumulated as operation result data. An information processing apparatus displays the crane's movement trajectory on the terminal and predicts maintenance timing based on operation result data, evaluates a degree of danger and detects an occurrence of accident based on a positional relationship between the crane and an operator, performs optimization of a movement path, a transport sequence of multiple suspended loads, a layout in the facility, and the like, and performs post-operation diagnosis for the degree of danger and operation efficiency of the crane. In addition, the crane is used to scan the inside of the facility to detect abnormalities such as fires and suspicious persons after the work hours of the facility. These treatments can improve the usefulness of the crane.

Information processing apparatus for cranes

A sensor including a sensor element, a metallic shell, a terminal fitting, a cylindrical case, lead wires, a connector portion, and a cylindrical heat shield tube. The heat shield tube includes a first tube and a second tube. The second tube is disposed on a distal end side of the first tube and covers an outer surface of the rear end side of the case, while providing an overlapping portion that overlaps the first tube. A rear end side of the first tube is adjacent to the connector portion. A total length T of the heat shield tube and a length S of the overlapping portion satisfy T/10&#x2264;S&#x2264;T/5. Further, a length Lof the first tube and a length Lof the second tube satisfy T/2&#x2264;L&#x3c;L

Sensor

In a movement control apparatus manipulation can be carried out while watching the movement of the moving body, without needing to watch one's hands, so even a novice operator can perform the manipulation easily, safely, reliably, and quickly. The apparatus can include a signal transmission cable, a casing of a manipulation remote controller disposed at one end of the cable, a rotary encoder that produces a signal corresponding to the direction of the casing, and a motor drive control circuit that is disposed on the other side of the cable and controls the movement of a moving body on the basis of a signal corresponding to the direction of the casing. The signal corresponding to the direction of the casing can be supplied from the rotary encoder, through the cable, to the motor drive control circuit. Therefore, the operator can hold down a manipulation switch without looking at his hands and thereby adjust the direction of the casing of the manipulation remote controller while looking at the movement direction of a load.

Operating device, and three-dimensional movement apparatus

Equipment provided with a display device, the equipment including a mechanism that includes a movable portion, an operating device that operates movement of the movable portion, a moving mechanism that moves the movable portion, the display device that makes a display about movement of the movable portion, and a drive control unit that, based on the operation by the operating device, controls operation of the moving mechanism and the display of the display device. The display device is configured to make a display about movement of the movable portion prior to start of the movement of the movable portion.

Display device of equipment and equipment provided with display device

A notification device is used in a moving device and comprises a main unit that can move a moving body by a driving force of a motor and a control unit that controls the motor in response to an operation input. The notification device comprises an operation information acquisition unit that acquires operation information of the motor from the control unit and a notification unit that, when the motor is in operation, makes a notification different from a notification at the time when the motor is stopped.

Notification device and movement system

The present invention provides techniques relating to an operating device exhibiting superior dust resistance and water resistance, and more particularly to an operating device exhibiting few design restrictions and a small assembly operation load, and to a moving apparatus including the operating device. In an operating device having, in a casing, a detection unit for detecting input relating to an instruction to operate a driving device that drives movement of an object, a plurality of the detection units are arranged over a partial or entire range of a circumference of the casing in accordance with movement directions of the object.

Operating device and moving apparatus including operating device

A manipulation apparatus that directs an operation of a drive device utilized in the movement of an object by changing a turning amount or reference direction of relative turning between a first housing and a second housing, wherein the first housing and second housing are in close proximity to each other along the turning axis of the relative turning, and each comprise an outer peripheral face having substantially the same diameter around the turning axis of the relative turning or having a substantially circular cross section perpendicular to the turning axis of the relative turning at this proximal position or nearby, and an indicator for indicating, in a mode that is visible by an operator, information related to the turning amount or turning direction of the relative turning is provided to each of the outer peripheral faces of the first housing and the second housing.

Manipulation apparatus, and movement apparatus equipped with this manipulation apparatus

Movement control method, movement manipulation apparatus, and method for manipulating movement of moving body

A method of producing a gas sensor is provided. The method includes a disposition step of preparing an elastic seal member having a main body portion and a smaller diameter portion that is smaller in outer diameter than the main body portion, disposing the entire main body portion and a part of the smaller diameter portion inside a tubular metallic member and allowing a remaining part of the smaller diameter portion to protrude outward from a rear end of the tubular metallic member, and a crimping step of crimping at least a portion of the tubular metallic member radially inward and thereby compressively deforming the elastic seal member. A gas sensor is also provided.
