ERA Contour is the first builder in the Netherlands to deploy latest anti-bot system on all projects with multiple construction cranes

Increasing safety on construction is top priority

As the first builder in the Netherlands, ERA Contour uses the latest antibot system on all its projects where there are more than two interfere construction cranes. The TBI company uses the DCS61-S anti-bot system in the process, which ensures that cranes that are set up in each other's turning range cannot touch each other. By doing so, the developed builder increases safety on its construction projects. RDS Weighing & Safety is a proud supplier of the systems. 

Logical step in increasing security

"The safety of our employees, construction partners and the environment where we build is our highest priority. If we can do even better, we will go for it. The anti-bot systems increase safety and therefore it is a logical step for us to apply the system on our construction projects," says Peter van de Wetering, safety coordinator at ERA Contour.  

The DCS61-S systems were deployed as a pilot on the ERA Contour construction projects De Nieuwe Defensie, Buur and Concorde in Utrecht and with successful results. Points of improvement identified during the pilot are immediately included in the deployment of the systems on subsequent projects. 
To apply the anti-bot systems on construction projects, ERA Contour is working with TBI sister company MDB. 

New antibot system integrates multiple functions

The DCS61-S is the latest antibot system from AMCS Technologies. "We, RDS Weighing & Safety, are proud to be the exclusive distributor of the latest antibot systems in the entire Benelux," said Jacco Hartkoorn, Regional Manager at RDS Weighing & Safety.

The DCS 61-S previously provided a global first in the world of cranes and anti-bot systems. The product was developed to integrate numerous new functions. Think of anti-collision management between tower cranes and mobile cranes and between tower cranes and concrete pumps. The device is placed on tower cranes and mobile cranes, communicates its information via a radio network and constantly knows the position of each machine thanks to GPS antennas. While the previous anti-bot system was limited to simply temporarily neutralizing prohibited zones, the new anti-bot system automatically signals the movements of mobile cranes. It then integrates the control of tower cranes. This new technology thus ensures that cranes can never enter each other's range.
