Crane Remote Observation Sattellite System

KCROSS is KOBELCO’s cloud-based fleet-management and remote-monitoring solution designed specifically for its crawler cranes. Using a combination of GPS, internet, and satellite communications, KCROSS collects a wide range of machine data and makes it available in real time via a web portal.

Key features and benefits

  • Remote machine monitoring
    KCROSS gives owners full visibility into each crane’s working status, including operation hours, idle time, winch usage, travel, load-handling, lift chart stats, and more.
  • Location tracking
    You can track crane location via satellite-mapped imagery, making it easier to manage and coordinate a distributed fleet.
  • Preventive maintenance & reliability
    By monitoring not only the machine’s runtime but also its maintenance status, KCROSS helps plan maintenance more efficiently, reducing downtime and extending machine life.
  • Remote failure diagnosis
    The system enables early diagnosis of potential issues, accessing current and historical machine data to fault-locate and minimize downtime.
  • Safety & operational record keeping
    KCROSS records safety and operating data centrally, giving crane owners reliable, fact-based reports to support safe work practices and asset management.
  • Custom reporting
    users can generate daily, weekly, or monthly reports -in printable form- that provide snapshots or summaries of crane performance, usage, and efficiency.
  • Access from anywhere
    Machine data is viewable on internet-connected devices (PC, tablet) and can even be sent via mobile (text notifications) for critical alerts.
How KCROSS works

How KCROSS works

KCROSS operates through advanced telemetry hardware installed on every KOBELCO crane, continuously collecting key operating data from the machine’s on-board controllers. This information is securely transmitted via satellite or cellular networks to Kobelco’s servers, ensuring reliable data flow from any job site. Crane owners can then access this real-time and historical data through a secure online portal, where they can monitor performance, generate detailed reports, and track fleet locations with precision. This streamlined process delivers complete visibility into crane operations and supports smarter fleet management.
