PROMAT | COMPANY SPOTLIGHT HBC-radiomatic
HBC-radiomatic will showcase radiomatic range control, a safety system that monitors operator distance to machinery, triggering customisable alerts and actions to ensure safe operation. Ideal for cranes, construction and more, it enhances safety for operators.

When operating heavy machinery, only a safe distance is the right distance. Getting too close to an activated machine can be just as dangerous as controlling without seeing the machine and the work environment. HBC-radiomatic, the global technology leader in the field of safe and fully customisable radio remote controls, is now presenting a cutting- edge solution. By detecting the operator’s distance to the machine, radiomatic range control keeps personnel and equipment always at a safe distance. This new development from the German-based radio experts can be used for proximity or far field control, or both. As a proximity detection solution, radiomatic
BC-radiomatic is presenting new technology at Promat for the automatic detection of the distance between
range control protects the operator from getting unintentionally in the machine's driving path or within the movement radius of machine components. As a far field detection solution, radiomatic range control prevents the operator from driving the machine out of safe view and accidentally moving it dangerously towards personnel or hitting obstacles in its path. The machine reaction resulting from an
operator alert can be individually defined. Examples are the reduction of machine speed and the activation of a horn, an acoustic signal or a vibration of the radio transmitter.
How it works Radial range areas with a stop zone, a warning zone and a safe zone are defined around the machine. In this way, the minimum distance between the operator and the machine can be defined for a proximity control. As a far field
control, the radial range areas can be used to define the maximum distance between the operator and the machine. As soon as the operator enters the warning
zone, radiomatic range control triggers an operator alert and a predefined machine reaction. Entering the STOP zone triggers an immediate stop of the machine. Thus, radiomatic range control is a very valuable and intelligent safety assistance system for the operator and their working environment, and is ideally suitable for the most diverse applications including crane technology, construction machinery and many others. By detecting the operator’s distance to the machine, this intelligent assistance feature keeps personnel and equipment always at a safe distance.
