The brief
For a construction crane to be controlled safely by radio, particular functional safety requirements apply. It must be ensured, for example, that a safe state is established in the event of radio interference, so that a load does not come loose unintentionally. The particular challenge here is the reliable detection of disturbed signals or a loss of connection. To rule out incorrect actions, signal and data integrity must be maintained at all times.
The solution
For functionally safe radio remote control of heavy construction machinery, NewTec recommends a wireless system that works with Forward Error Correction. Our engineers are happy to take on the development of the electronics as well as the software design. Where needed, we also offer comprehensive consultancy on Functional Safety Management.
