The present invention relates to a method and a device for lifting a load, wherein at least one aerial drone carries at least a portion of the load. In order to lift a load, it is proposed to yoke together a plurality of aerial drones or at least one aerial drone and a lifting hook of a crane, and provide a common control system for the plurality of aerial drones or the at least one aerial drone and the lifting hook of the crane, in order not to have to control a plurality of aerial drones at the same time, or also an aerial drone in addition to the crane hook, using separate control means, in a 'multi-handed' manner. In addition to the at least one aerial drone which carries at least a portion of the load, it is proposed, according to the invention, that the load should be connected to a further aerial drone and/or a lifting hook of a crane, and also carried and/or directed by the further aerial drone or the crane lifting hook in part, wherein the two aerial drones are controlled together, and/or the at least one aerial drone is controlled together with the crane, in a mutually coordinated manner, by means of a common controller for controlling flight and/or crane movements.

The invention relates to a device for controlling and/or configuring construction machines, whose electronic control device can be reconfigured and/or extended by installing a program packet, comprising a central server for providing and/or downloading different program packets, wherein the central server has access to an internal machine data database in which different machine data sets are stored, wherein the central server is designed as an open server platform with different interfaces to different external host servers, wherein a communications module activates an interface to an external machine data database and/or to an external host server according to a construction machine and/or program packet request and according to the machine data sets in the internal machine data database, and wherein the external machine data database that is separate from the central server is designed to provide a program packet of an external host server according to an authorization of the external host server.

Device and method for controlling and/or configuring a construction machine

The invention relates to a device for maintaining and/or repairing a construction machine, with a mobile maintenance station that can be placed at the jobsite where the construction machine is being used, comprising a 3D printer for printing replacement parts for the construction machine on the basis of component data and/or a mobile display device for displaying repair information on the construction machine on the basis of component data, wherein a data supply station that is at a separate location from the maintenance station is provided, can be connected to the maintenance station by way of a communication link and is configured for providing the maintenance station with 3D printing data for printing the replacement part, and the maintenance station is configured for printing the replacement part layer by layer on the basis of the 3D printing data received from the data supply station.

Method and device for maintaining and/or repairing a construction machine

A system for controlling and/or monitoring and/or visualizing construction sites, including a detection device for detecting the position of a construction unit at the construction site, wherein the detection device includes a signal transmitter to be mounted on the construction unit for providing an identification signal identifying the construction unit, and a signal evaluation device for receiving and evaluating the identification signal in order to determine the position of the construction unit at the construction site. The signal evaluation device includes at least one loop antenna that is laid at the construction site for receiving the identification signal of the signal transmitter and for determining the position of the signal transmitter.

Device for controlling, monitoring and visualizing construction sites

A method and a device for planning and/or controlling and/or simulating the operation of a construction machine, in particular in the form of a crane, using a structure data model which contains digital information on a structure to be erected and/or to be worked on. A construction machine which can be linked to such a structure data model and/or can be controlled using such a structure data model. A construction machine data model which contains digital information on different construction machine models is linked to the structure data model or the BIM, characteristics of the available construction machines are already taken into consideration during the planning process, a simulator for training construction machine tasks is configured using the structure data model, and the controller of the construction machine is adapted to the structure data model with respect to specific control functions.

An example device for building stationary structures on a work surface includes a scaffold, which is arranged around the work surface. In the example, a working head is provided, which, with the help of multiple control cables is held on the scaffold and arranged above the work surface, upper control cables are provided, which run above the working head from the scaffold, lower control cables are provided, which run below the working head from the scaffold, all control cables can be extended out of the scaffold and retracted to the scaffold, in order to change a position of the working head, and a control unit is provided, which is connected with actuators for the extending and retracting of the control cables, and is configured to actuate these actuators to change the position of the working head.

Device, a system and a method for building stationary structures on a working surface

A method and an apparatus provides a workpiece representation at a production station. A database is used to store a data record for providing an original model of the workpiece. A display unit at the production station displays the workpiece representation using stored model data. A first data record represents an original model of the workpiece, and stored in a database, a second data record, which is simplified in comparison with said first data record and for representing a simplified model of the workpiece, is generated and is stored A code is provided at the production station, and the terminal can use the code to retrieve the second data record and can use said second data record to display the simplified workpiece model. For outsiders, the transmitted code is unusable without a suitably configured terminal and/or without a suitable user identifier. The terminal can be, for example, a mobile screen device or smartglasses.

Method and apparatus for providing a workpiece representation at a production station

The present invention relates to a crane having a multiple-piece longitudinal structural part, in particular a tower or boom, whose pieces comprise corner arms or horizontal beams which can be placed next to one another and which can be releasably connected to one another by a mortise and tenon joint, wherein the mortise and tenon joint comprises a tongue which can be plugged into a tongue receiver and which can be fixed by means of at least one crossbar which can be inserted transversely to the plug-in direction of the tongue. In accordance with the invention, the crossbar of the mortise and tenon joint can be spread apart by a spreading device such that the pieces of the longitudinal structural part to be connected can be clamped to one another by spreading apart the crossbar.
