Radiomatic’s photon camera assistance provides live video to the color display, enabling the operator to see into areas that are hard to access, including blind spots.


market that provides a radio control operator with live video feedback to the radio control itself. In that regard, radiomatic® photon sets new standards of efficiency and safety.” Important to note is that while HBC has been offering graphical feedback for more than a decade, video feedback provides an additional layer of operator information. Radio control, by its very nature, already allows the operator to move around the working environment to gain better access of the machine and/or the machine’s load without being confined to a fixed location, such as a crane cabin. Te ability to see live video feedback can provide the operator with even more freedom of movement. Additionally, as radiomatic® photon is available for multiple transmitter sizes, this option enhances an unlimited range of customization options for OEMs. Allan also mentioned that HBC will be spotlighting the easy and safe management of access rights with merlin® TUC (Transmitter User Card). “Tis card serves as the key to activate the control, and protects it from unauthorized use. In addition, each card is individually configurable. Tis can control access to preset functions,


such as operation in restricted areas, which can be locked or unlocked for individual operators, without any effort. “Te systems will also demonstrate the HBC safety


features radiomatic® shock-off/zero-g/inclination switch for enhanced protection of the operator in specific emergencies. Te addition of these innovations to HBC’s comprehensive array of radio remote control solutions provides the industry with greater possibilities for increased efficiencies and enhanced safety.”


While HBC will be displaying a wide-ranging sample


of products and technologies at their ConExpo booth, offering some customer interaction, the Tech Experience will certainly provide an entirely different format— where users can experience radio control and operative feedback with a real-world example. “Tis interactive experience will ensure that users can obtain a full sense of how state-of-the-art technology can be applied to their construction applications and/or across industries,” affirmed Allan. “Te Tech Experience will add another dimension beyond a typical tradeshow, and offer visitors the opportunity to identify where the industry and its technologies are heading.” y
