Abstract
Automatically adjusting parameters of a lifting device for a material to be lifted. An interrogator module reads data from a data tag attached to an object. The data includes an identifier associated with the object. A database module retrieves a value from a memory area based on the read identifier. The value corresponds to the parameter of the lifting device. An adjustment module adjusts the parameter of the lifting device as indicated by the retrieved value. Adjusting the parameters of the lifting device for a particular material improves handling of the material thereby reducing waste of the material and delay in processing the material.
