Creating history: Motion control, industrial communications challenge

Control Engineering: A team from Chicago Flyhouse designed a system to suspend a live hanging garden, called Nature Clouds, to showcase plants living from the prehistoric era. Four “clouds” range in weight from 5,000 to 19,000 pounds, each suspended above the museum floor. The clouds’ needs are supported via an energy chain flexible cable tray that includes cables that provide water, power and fiber optics to the living sculptures suspended by high capacity hoists.
