WH SCOTT

Customised Industrial Radio Remote Wireless Control Systems 

Tailored fail-safe wireless control systems for complex industrial and mobile equipment applications.  

Overview

Customised industrial radio remote control systems provide a flexible way to wirelessly operate machinery across a wide range of industrial environments. Built around AUTEC’s broad product range and high level of configuration, these systems are designed for applications where standard control formats may not fully meet the operational, safety, or ergonomic needs of the machine and operator. 

WH Scott works with AUTEC to assess each application in detail and recommend the most suitable control solution based on the machine, operating environment, and intended use. Drawing on a versatile product portfolio, previous project experience, and the ability to develop new control system designs, the solution can be adapted to suit highly varied equipment types across construction, concrete, quarrying, and building-related sectors.

Compared with wired pendants or fixed control panels, a radio remote system gives the operator the freedom to work from the safest and most effective position. This can improve visibility of the load or machine, support faster and more accurate operation, and enhance overall efficiency during use.
