Advanced Onboard Control System for Work Platform

Challenge

The client needed an onboard control system capable of managing multiple lifts and telescoping shuttles to create a dynamic work platform. The solution had to allow for synchronized movement, customized positioning, and stringent safety measures to prevent accidents and protect equipment.

Solution

OSCO Controls designed a sophisticated control system incorporating advanced automation, precision controls, and built-in safety mechanisms:

Custom Positioning & Data Storage: The system can store up to six unique working heights and shuttle lengths, allowing operators to quickly and accurately position the platform for different tasks.

Synchronized Lift Movement: The lifts can be moved simultaneously, transforming individual units into a single, large-scale work platform for improved accessibility and efficiency.

Telescoping Shuttle Safety Features: Each telescoping shuttle is equipped with a sensing edge that prevents it from extending into the customer’s product, reducing the risk of collisions and damage.

Operator Safety Enhancements: Locking gates ensure that operators cannot walk off an unsecured edge, providing an additional layer of fall protection and compliance with workplace safety regulations.

Result

By implementing OSCO Controls’ advanced control system, the client achieved:
Increased Efficiency: Automated lift synchronization streamlined operations, reducing downtime and improving workflow.
Enhanced Safety: Integrated safety features significantly minimized the risk of workplace accidents and equipment damage.
Improved Precision & Adaptability: The ability to store multiple working heights and shuttle lengths optimized platform usability for a variety of applications.
