A collaboration between Radius Group and Skyline Cockpit represents a groundbreaking leap forward in the lifting and construction industry. The introduction of the tower crane ground control system, Skyline Cockpit, positions Radius Group as a pioneer in the UK, showcasing its commitment to service-oriented lifting solutions and staying ahead of the competition.
The Skyline Cockpit is a testament to Radius Group’s dedication to providing cutting-edge solutions for complex lifts. This innovation not only sets it apart but also elevates the entire crane and construction sector to new heights.
The integration of advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Augmented Reality (AR) within the Skyline Cockpit demonstrates a forward-thinking approach to crane operations.
The productivity gains achieved through the Skyline Cockpit not only streamline operations but also contribute to faster project completion. By embracing innovative technologies, Radius Group is not just staying ahead but actively shaping the future of the construction industry.
- Enhanced Safety: The ground control cockpit minimises the need for operators to climb up and down the crane daily, reducing the risk of accidents and incidents.
- Efficiency and Time Savings: The Skyline Cockpit system enables operators to manage and control tower cranes from the safety of an on-site ground cabin. This not only improves efficiency but also saves valuable time. The reduction in crane downtime, quick crane switching on multi-crane sites, and automated data recording contribute to significant time and cost savings.
- Operator Wellbeing: The system promotes operator wellbeing by providing improved working positions, reducing isolation, and creating a more convivial working atmosphere. The Skyline Cockpit also provides inclusive opportunities, for crane operators with physical disabilities, for instance, creating a more diverse and inclusive workforce.
- Intelligent Assistance and Analytics: The system utilises advanced algorithms and machine learning to offer intelligent assistance and analytics features. This includes predicting potential risks, providing recommendations for optimal lifting techniques, and optimising crane performance based on historical data.
In summary, Radius Group’s partnership with Skyline Cockpit brings forth a transformative solution that not only improves operational efficiency and safety but also contributes to operator wellbeing, diversity in the workforce, and substantial time and cost savings for businesses in the construction sector.
Expressing his enthusiasm for the launch, Michael Fryer, Managing Director of Radius Group, said:
“Radius Group has never been afraid to do things differently and by embracing cutting- edge technology and prioritising safety, efficiency and inclusivity, we continue to set new benchmarks and shape the future of the construction sector.
“We are very excited by the potential of Skyline Cockpit to truly revolutionise the construction industry and we are therefore extremely proud to be the first tower crane supplier in the UK to offer this pioneering innovation on live sites.”
Skyline Cockpit CEO and Co-Founder, Zachi Flatto, added:
“Skyline Cockpit leverages the company’s long-standing experience and understanding of market needs, with the goal of bringing real change to the construction and cranes industries, in terms of productivity, efficiency and safety through technological innovation.
“We are proud and excited to have Radius Group lead the way with us to the forefront of crane operation and construction evolution.”
