Abstract

See full text

A method of providing position control information for controlling the movement of a spreader (400) of a crane (10) towards a spreader target position is disclosed. The method comprises measuring both the distance to the loading/unloading target position (32, 36) and the distance to a position of the spreader (400) for determining both a loading/unloading target position (32, 36) and the position of the spreader (400) in a fixed coordinate system. The method also comprises causing position control information corresponding to the position of the spreader (400) and the loading/unloading target position (32, 36) to be transmitted to the crane (10).
