1. A system for central control of one or more cranes, including:
at least one crane and at least one central control station,
wherein the crane includes one or more image sensors/stereo cameras for observing a picked-up load, at least part of the crane surroundings and at least part of the crane structure,
wherein the crane is connected to the control station via at least one bidirectional communication link for the transmission of the image sensor data,
wherein the control station comprises:
at least one display element for displaying visual representation of the received sensor data,
at least one input device for inputting control commands, and
the control commands are transmitted via the communication link to one or more crane actuators and/or the crane control for performing crane movements,
wherein a task module considers discernable obstacles are discernible based upon the image sensors/stereo cameras and are considered for evaluation of the feasibility of a task,
wherein the control station comprises a connection interface for smart glasses, wherein the displaying of the sensor data of the image sensors/stereo cameras is effected via the smart glasses, and the image sensors/stereo cameras are actuated, adjusted or pivoted, via movements of the glasses.
