The nightmare of every heavy construction project manager is to witness cost overruns and missed delivery deadlines, especially when these are related to accidents and damages due to human error. Could you have avoided some of these incidents? The good news is, you now can. Leica Geosystems and
Xwatch Safety Solutions have jointly developed a new solution to safeguard construction assets and infrastructure on site. The two systems are connected together by a CAN bus communication channel to create one of the world's first solutions for safety and productivity in a 3D world. This system is unique to Xwatch and Leica Geosystems. The revolutionary combined solution will allow users to create or import 3D avoidance zones above and below the surface area, directly within the
Leica MC1 machine control software.
The operator can quickly create or use imported avoidance zones in the in-cabin Leica MCP80 panel, which will then trigger the hydraulic functions of the excavator to slow down or even entirely stop once approaching these zones. It is also effortless to use for the operator, and has the ability to disable the motion of the machine's tracks so it cannot breach environmental sites, power cables, or drainage. Other critical avoidance areas include overhead obstructions such as powerlines, underground services, and operations in close proximity to pedestrian walkways, live carriageways, and public roads.
Denne nye løsningen forbedrer ikke bare sikkerheten for anleggsarbeidere og fotgjengere rundt travle anleggsområder, den beskytter også eksisterende og nybygget infrastruktur. I tillegg beskytter systemet eiendom som kan generere ekstra kostnader og forsinkelser hvis det oppstår skader. Systemet bidrar til kontroll og sikker graving rundt strømkabler, gassrør, vannrør og annen potensielt farlig infrastruktur under bakken.
Denne løsningen er gjort mulig ved å kombinere den avanserte maskinstyringsprogramvaren Leica MC1 og XW5 Series, den mest avanserte løsningen fra Xwatch Safety solutions. Samarbeidet mellom Xwatch med sin lange erfaring innen sikkerhetssystemer og Leica Geosystems med sin ekspertise innen maskinstyringsløsninger har resultert i en løsning som setter nye bransjestandarder for sikkerhet.
