Teleoperation: The new era of remote control with efa
At a time when digitalisation is transforming the industrial world, teleoperation is emerging as a revolutionary solution to the complex challenges facing sectors such as public works, the environment, logistics and ports. At the cutting edge of innovation, efa, already a leader in autonomous navigation, electrification, detection and connectivity, is committed to offering teleoperation solutions that enable industrial machinery to be remotely controlled, regardless of location. Thanks to this technological advance, operators can control their machines in complete safety, while optimising the efficiency of their operations.
A solution to human and logistical challenges
In a world where recruitment and human resources management have become major challenges for many companies, teleoperation is emerging as a strategic response. By enabling several machines to be piloted remotely and controlled simultaneously, it reduces the need to deploy a large number of operators on site, thereby optimising human resources management.
It also makes it possible to meet the challenges of operator mobility, particularly for isolated sites where it is difficult to send teams on site.
A solution to improve working conditions and operator safety
Working environments in certain industrial sectors can be extreme and dangerous. Whether in difficult weather conditions, on uneven terrain or in high-risk areas, teleoperation can reduce operators’ exposure to these dangerous situations. By controlling their machines remotely, workers remain protected from risks while having total control over them.
This makes the goal of ‘zero accidents’ more attainable. Remote operation not only reduces the physical risks for operators, but also improves their comfort by providing a safe working environment far from any nuisance. This advance is particularly beneficial for the public works, logistics, environment and port sectors, where accidents are unfortunately common.
Find out in this Business Case how efa can solve such a challenge in the mining sector.
A customised remote operation solution
efa offers a teleoperation solution that can be adapted to your specific needs, with modular systems to suit the scale of your project. Our teleoperation technology is based on a reliable communications foundation, using various protocols such as CAN, analogue, digital and Ethernet. These protocols are combined with advanced communication systems such as radio, 5G or FHSS technology, guaranteeing optimum performance.
Our range of solutions is divided into three levels, to meet the requirements of each situation:
- Level 1: Remote control up to 500 m via FHSS radio communication.
- Level 2: Remote control up to 1 km with FHSS radio communication and 5G.
- Level 3: Unlimited control, thanks to 5G communication, enabling remote control from anywhere in the world.
