Automatically adjusting parameters of a lifting device for a material to
be lifted. An interrogator module reads data from a data tag attached to
an object. The data includes an identifier associated with the object. A
database module retrieves a value from a memory area based on the read
identifier. The value corresponds to the parameter of the lifting device.
An adjustment module adjusts the parameter of the lifting device as
indicated by the retrieved value. Adjusting the parameters of the lifting
device for a particular material improves handling of the material
thereby reducing waste of the material and delay in processing the
material.
