Hiab to beat on-road load handling with interoperability connectivity
FINLAND's Hiab, part of Cargotec, has announced in Munich's Bauma exhibition its vision to unlock the full potential of on-road load handling by having all new Hiab equipment connected by 2018.
"Urbanisation will inevitably make cities more crowded, meaning that our customers have more loads to manage in less time and in tighter spaces," said Hiab president Roland Sunden.
"This will require a new way of thinking about our products, solutions and services. Our target is that all of our new equipment are connected and able to communicate with other systems and devices by 2018 so customers get the benefits of connectivity," he said.
During the Bauma exhibition week, Hiab introduced several new innovations including HiVision 3D vision control system, MULTILIFT Optima, HIAB T-Series cranes, and Hiab ProCare(TM) service agreements.
In addition, Swedish X-trials driver Eddie Karlsson displayed his skills, and the German qualification rounds for the World Crane Championships 2016 were held with Martin Utpatel chosen as Germany's representative for the finals, which will take place at the IAA exhibition in Hanover in September 2016.
At the Hiab press event, which was held as a panel discussion on April 13, Hiab vice president Rafal Sornek and guest speakers Michael Browne, Gloria Elliott and Peter Tyreholt discussed what the future holds for load handling in an increasingly urban and sustainable society.
Michael Browne, logistics and urban freight transport professor at the University of Gothenburg said: "We need to rethink the flow of goods and do things in a much more systems based way. Otherwise we will face incredible increases of congestion, which will either been as unacceptable or extremely inefficient."
Said Cybercom's Peter Tyreholt: "In addition to other benefits, I believe in connectivity and digitalisation as enablers to solve a lot of the problems we see in urbanisation. With a more connected and digital world we can create more sustainable business models with circular economy."
Said Noise Abatement Society CEO Gloria Elliott: "We all have to take the step into the middle to find the answers, and that is by acknowledging each other's problems and working together to solve them."
