A loading plan that fits is not yet a safe transport. That is why Beamcore tracks four checks per transport in the Controlestatus (Control status) panel in the Load planner. At the top you see how many are in order, for example 2 of 4. This is part of the Transport & laden (Transport & loading) add-on (€149 per month).
The four checks
- Geometrisch geplaatst (Geometrically placed): follows from the calculation. There is at least one element on the transport, without a critical warning about placement or support. This says nothing about load-bearing capacity or load securing.
- Constructief beoordeeld (Structurally assessed): an authorised employee confirms that the load has been assessed structurally.
- Ladingzekering gecontroleerd (Load securing checked): an authorised employee confirms that the load securing has been checked.
- Transport vrijgegeven (Transport released): the last step. You can only release once the other three are in order and there is no critical blockage on the transport. Waarom nog niet vrijgeven? (Why not release yet?) shows what is still missing.
Each check is In orde (In order), Nog niet bevestigd (Not yet confirmed), Vervallen (Expired) or Niet in orde (Not in order). A strap in the 3D view or a successful calculation is no proof. Only an authorised employee confirms these checks. By default the admin role has that right.
Confirming and withdrawing
- Click Bevestigen (Confirm) at the check (or Vrijgeven (Release) for the release).
- Optionally enter a Toelichting (Explanation). You confirm in your own name, for the load as it is now.
- If it turns out not to be right, click Intrekken (Withdraw) and enter a Reden (Reason).
Under Historie (History) you see who confirmed, withdrew or saw something expire, and when. A confirmation does not stop loading or finalising.
When a confirmation expires
If the load changes after a confirmation, that confirmation expires automatically. Think of a different position, side, order or rotation of an element, different spacers, a different truck or different dimensions and weights, including through a new revision of the IFC model. A release that no longer holds as a result also shows as expired. If you put the load back, an old confirmation does not become valid again: you confirm once more.
Load securing data
Under Gegevens ladingzekering (Load securing data) you record per transport what you know for sure: Aantal sjorpunten (Number of lashing points), Sjorcapaciteit (LC) per sjorpunt (Lashing capacity per lashing point), Sjorrichting (Lashing direction), Wrijvingscoëfficiënt (Friction coefficient), Blokkering (Blocking) and Antislipmateriaal (Anti-slip material). Beamcore does not fill in default values. If you change this data, the Load securing checked check and the release expire.
The Controlelijst ladingzekering (Load securing checklist) shows the data per point. Anything left empty shows as Handmatig te controleren (To be checked manually). EN 12195-1 is only the reference: Beamcore does not calculate with these values and does not certify the load as safe. Crane reach and lifting points always show as to be checked manually, because they are not in Beamcore.
The control status and the load securing also appear on the transport document and in the loading list.
