The mathematical model of the system has been derived which was further used to built a Simulink of proposed system. The ANFIS controller was designed using data sets generated from results of PID controller. The controllers were compared in terms of settling time, maximum overshoot and undershoot. The study elaborates the effect of variation in magnitude of physical attributes of the crane system i.e. mass of crane, mass of load and length of crane on performance parameters of the system. The system has been simulated in Matlab and simulation results are shown which validates the proposed study.
