Automating the Optimal Selection Process of Subassembly Sections of a Modular Spreader Beam Used in Lifting Operations

Spreader beams used in lifting operations undergo a purely compressive load to spread apart the ends of sling which enables large payloads be lifted from single point, such as crane hook, without damage. A modular spreader beam can made using subcomponents different standard sizes create any length, making them more versatile and cost-effective than non-modular beams. However, while manual calculation selection an optimum number subsections for is straightforward, process multiple range very challenging labour-intensive company. The main aim this study was develop automated system determining optimal configuration leads increasing efficiency company through saving associated labour time costs. underpinned by designing algorithm based on dynamic programming optimisation search test every possible return configuration. Hence, novelty development computer-based automate beam’s subsections, generates package immediately lengths with fewest sections needed operation. Eventually, generating quotation clients significantly accelerated risk human errors also eliminated.
