Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and a device for detecting the set-up state of a construction and/or material-handling machine, in particular a crane, and/or the location of individual set-up elements of the construction and/or material-handling machine, with electronic identification elements which are attached to the set-up elements of the construction and/or material-handling machine, and an electronic evaluation unit for determining the set-up state and/or location of the set-up elements based on information received from the identification elements. The invention further also relates to such a construction and/or material-handling machine, in particular in the form of a crane. According to the invention the identification elements attached to the set-up elements are provided with energy-generating means for generating electrical energy from environmental influences, as well as an energy accumulator for storing the generated energy and supplying the identification elements.
