Skyline Cockpit: UK's First Remote Ground Control for Tower Cranes
How is Radius Group staying ahead of the game in crane operation?
Radius Group is the first lifting provider in the UK to operate a tower crane using a teleoperated ground control system called the Skyline Cockpit. Staying one step ahead of the competition, and offering cutting-edge solutions to complex lifts, is something Radius Group excels at. Now with the introduction of the Skyline Cockpit, we are taking the crane and construction industry to a whole new level!
How does Skyline Cockpit improve crane operator health and wellbeing?
Improving the physical working conditions for crane operators will improve efficiency and safety, especially in countries with extreme weather conditions.
How does Skyline Cockpit ensure improved safety?
Improved safety is achieved by constantly sending data and alerts through the internet/cellular platforms, providing real-time monitoring and immediate notifications for potential hazards during crane operations.
How does Skyline Cockpit generate cost savings?
Skyline Cockpit drives savings directly to your bottom line. By optimizing crane efficiency by 25% and reducing project timelines by 8%, contractors see substantial cost savings and faster completions. Choose Skyline Cockpit for financial benefits on your project site.
What is the smart way to operate cranes with Skyline Cockpit?
The Skyline Cockpit transforms the traditional operator’s cabin into a “smart” computerized cockpit, allowing for the first time to remotely control and manage the operation of the cranes with innovative technology and advanced camera systems.
From the comfort and safety of an on-site spacious ground cabin and a peripheral wide-screen which replicates the panoramic operators cabin view, the crane operator can operate the tower crane using a system based on advanced technological developments, artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR). Using the system’s input, the operator can precisely identify where the crane’s hook will land, as well as receive indications regarding crane height, load weight, wind speed and direction, work speed and more. In addition, Skyline Cockpit can detect any tower crane discrepancies and immediately address them through preventive maintenance.
