A system and method for updating an inventory of objects located in a hoisting area wherein a load is handled by a hoisting appliance equipped with a scanning device and spanning a hoisting area, a control device:

Automatic inventory of a warehouse

For optimizing an anti-sway algorithm for the transport of a load by a hoisting appliance spanning a hoisting area and comprising a trolley, a reeving system and a tool handling the load, a control device is able to:

Method to optimize an anti-sway function

A method for generating a trajectory for a load transported by a hoisting appliance spanning a hoisting area. The method includes providing a 3-dimensional model of the hoisting area with located obstacles within the hoisting area, providing load parameters including load length, height, width and weight. Generating a trajectory for navigating through the hoisting area using the model of the hoisting area and taking in account located obstacles, load parameters; and load movement parameters including a maximum attainable speed of the hoist appliance with the load, wherein the generated trajectory includes a starting point, a target point and a number of consecutive line segments connecting the starting point and the target point. And optimizing the trajectory for speed by maximizing the length of at least one line segment in a main direction of travel in order to travel at a maximum attainable speed of the hoisting appliance with the load in the main direction of travel.
