This was UltraWis’ first pilot project in the UK, following a successful digital crane anti-collision protocol integration with Terex Tower Cranes in Italy.
Two ADAS 1.0 Digital systems were installed by Select Cranes’ rigging team on two Terex CTL-620 luffing tower cranes at the HS2 OCC jobsite for a 6-month pilot. The project team issued a positive report, highlighting excellent user feedbacks. The report also emphasized the importance of incorporating precise 3D modeling alongside UltraWis’ collision avoidance capabilities.
Crane Operator MG (UK): “The camera imagery (Ultrawis) is extremely clear, and it does assist with operating the cranes as it’s probably one of the best cameras I’ve seen in a crane cab.”
Crane Operator MK (UK) : “The jib camera (Ultrawis) on the system is a very good driver aid and the quality of the camera is extremely clear, and it is helpful when carrying out blind lifting operations where I cannot physically see where the load is going. Using the systems jib camera (Ultrawis), it gives me a clear view of the landing area.”
Crane Operator MR (UK): : “I feel it's an amazing software and the ‘come here’ app feature is good, and it will make life much easier for the crane driver and the slingers as I can see it being incorporated in our day-to-day work activities. It would save a lot of time as the driver will be able to see my location on his map once I have set the coordinate. Sometimes it can be stressful for me to explain where I am especially if the driver is new to the site.”
