The self-contained unit emits an audio alarm and extra bright LED flashing beacon and is designed for easy attachment via neodymium magnets to the hook block, in a similar way to the BlokCam product.
Under this new name it has launched a new line called BlokAlert, a visual and audible alert safety system designed to raise awareness during lifting. Lisa Cairns, commercial director, explains, “One of the key benefits of cloud-based data systems is the ability to roll out software upgrades seamlessly and ‘behind the scenes’ as soon as they are developed with no disruption to the customer.”Īlso offering ancillary ‘control and monitoring’ technology is UK-based wireless crane camera company and safety specialist BlokCorp (its new name following the change from BlokCam). The IoT platform can also be integrated with different applications, analytics and other software. The UK-based business says instant and accurate site-specific data reduces planning time and the level of disputes associated with downtime. The systems are appropriate for tower cranes as well as wheeled mobile and crawler cranes. The company’s wind monitors, including the Windcrane Max and more basic Windcrane Mini, provide users with real-time monitoring of wind speeds from cranes, including automatic alerts to an App and recording of historic wind data. It would therefore be no surprise if a company like Windcrane, which supplies remote wind speed monitoring systems, were to see an increased interest in its technology, particularly as sites try to make up for lost time due to the crisis. That applies as much to the crane industry as any sector of the construction business, perhaps more, given the pivotal role that cranes play on construction sites.
A side effect of the global pandemis will be the faster adoption of new technology for communication and automation, among other things
