Hirschmann introduces the Scalable Mobile Control System
Tuesday, 25th November, 4 pm: the press conference to present the new product, Scalable Mobile Control System from Hirschmann Automation and Control GmbH. In front of 45 journalists from well-known automation magazines, Wolfgang Schenk, General Manager of Electronic Control Systems, and Jürgen Basel. Product Manager, presented the new modular product family, Scalable Mobile Control System: a revolutionary system for mobile automation which, as the first of its kind, can be used both for the control and monitoring of machinery functions as well as load moment indication.
Tailor-made control solutions based on the modular concept
The product family Scalable Mobile Control System encompasses new control systems from the iFLEX series and the new iSCOUT operator consoles, both of which, with hundreds of possible combinations, allow tailor-made solutions with optimum levels of cost/benefit. Besides this, the modular concept guarantees that the respective solution can be adapted to new demands in the most cost-efficient way at any time. Because of its multi-facetted capacity and the robust construction of its components the Scalable Mobile Control System can be used in cranes and other lifting equipment just as well as in a multitude of other applications – even under the most extreme conditions. The first projects undertaken outside the traditional Hirschmann markets, such as applications in the fields of wind power, railroad and agricultural machinery, were discussed at the show.
The result for Hirschmann: lively public interest in this appearance at the well-organised show stand of the mother company, Belden Inc., positive feedback to the Scalable Mobile Control System and high levels of expectation of the wireless sensor concept as well as to the very promising results of the research project, AutHoNe-DE.
