Abstract: In the warehouse where an overhead crane is used for material handling, a general warehouse system may not communicate data with the crane, which can reduce the efficiency of automatic material transfers. A crane system used in modern warehouses still employ the method of lifting the crane to its maximum heights and placing the goods in a desired position. However, raising a crane to its maximum height is not only inefficient but also can result in dangerous where the payload is above the head. This paper presents an automated crane system that integrates a navigation system and utilizes warehouse data, aiming to enhance both safety and efficiency in crane operations. The proposed automated overhead crane navigation system is summarized as follows: The Warehouse Management System (WMS) can communicate with the overhead crane navigation system through a database that provides obstacle position data, which the path planning algorithm can be used. It was found that the A* Algorithm is not suitable for controlling overhead cranes, so a new algorithm called Improved Corner Algorithm was developed, which allows for easy speed control and precise navigation according to the objectives. As for the crane control, an input shaping technique was used to reduce sway effectively. A simulation was performed to demonstrate the capabilities of the overhead crane using a pendulum model that closely approximates a real-life application. The simulation result validated the functions of the proposed crane system including path planning, sway suppression, and warehouse management system. In conclusion, the automatic overhead crane navigation system increases the efficiency of the crane in terms of speed, reduce the number of personnel required for operation, and improve safety
