This study delves into the comprehensive examination of an overhead crane's construction, focusing on its frame, columns, and beams, while considering factors such as strength, stability, and stiffness. Through an in-depth review in the design domain, it is proposed a specific structural configuration for the overhead crane. This design comprises six vertical columns supporting two longitudinal beams equipped with tracks for the trolley's longitudinal movement. Additionally, cross beams featuring winches are mounted on the trolley's cross beams.

The next industrial revolution commonly known as Industry 4.0 represents the idea of interconnected manufacturing, where intelligent devices, systems and processes exchange information, resources and artifacts to optimize the complete value-added chain and to reduce costs and time-to- market. Industrial software ecosystems are a good example how the latest digitalization trends are applied in the industry domain and how with the help of industrial IoT applications the production process can be optimized.
