Telestack manufacture & install a complete range of mobile bulk material handling systems worldwide. Their product range includes hoppers, feeders and conveyors, mostly sold into port terminals, mining and quarrying industries.
Problem
The loading hopper-fed a range of mobile conveyors. In the past, all of the controls have to be wired back to one location, so the operator could safely operate the loading system. This was time-consuming and expensive.
Challenge
Working closely with the client, FSL’s research & development team were tasked with producing a safer, customised solution that would allow machines to be tracked and controlled wirelessly by radio remote control.
Solution
FSL Electronics developed a customised radio remote control system that enabled an operator to manage and control the different conveyors remotely, efficiently and safely from one location.
Outcome
- Improved operator onsite safety
- Reduced installation time and costs
- Central control system available for multi-machine operations
