Scanreco Build
For large projects and global OEMs
If you are looking for a high-volume supplier of custom design remote control systems for professional usage, this is where you find the information – about us and our offering. Never heard about us? We are a global supplier to major OEM:s in various industries (for example Palfinger, Schwing, MacGregor, Demag, Multilift etc). Most of our OEM customers have been with us for decades.
Scanreco Build
No custom-made system is like any other, we’ll be the first to admit that. Through the decades of partnering with large OEMs around the world, we have chiseled out a model of working that ensures a smooth partnership and state-of-the-art custom-made products. We try to explain how you can take advantage of this truly unique OEM platform concept in our Scanreco Build model.
Which means that you find one of our remote families appropriate with small changes. Maybe you want the remote red or yellow?
This platform is based on an existing remote/radio configuration, but you need your own design, function (software and hardware) and/or special layout on the controls.
Here we start a journey into the unknown, but the result will be your exclusive remote for your specific market. From our side we need a large quantity to take on the journey, if you are looking into a midmarket there is Scanreco FLEX.
SISP™ stands for Scanreco Integrated Safety Platform. Dual micro processors in the transmitter, as well as in the receiver, work simultaneously at lightning’s speed to verify safe and correct functionality. Invented by Scanreco and approved by third-party in accordance with the IEC 61508 and ISO 13849-1 safety standards.
Step-by-step
Let´s jump on a boat and see if we will make the whole journey together, is there a fit? The Scanreco Build model can be 9 steps to a successful launch:
You will most probably start with checking who we are, who our clients are and our knowledge in the field.
The next question is, what is our culture? Can you trust us? We can of course not tell you how we are perceived. We will not bother you with the same value words everybody else uses.
You will find us easy going, Swedes are known to build companies with flat organizations and there is a pride in staying put when the wind picks up and rocks the boat. But let´s meet and just take a “fika”, tell us more about you and your challenges!
Normally you would want to visit our facilities, this could be an opportunity to exchange visions and values. From our perspective the operator has more challenges than most white collar workers admit. Controlling machines with brute force can be dangerous, lifting and moving around material is unfortunately a big part of the accident statistics.
Human error is mostly a result of bad HMI. We should all work like the flight industry, one of the most successful areas that has suppressed risk and accidents. When there is an accident the question is ”What can we do to avoid it in the future?” Hopefully, you are as concerned as we are to create the best control for the task. Best to us is a control that never fails in communication – technically and humanistic.
Have you made a specification? Let’s sign an NDA and check it out. We need to look at your goals regarding volumes and target prices.
If you already have a supplier and are looking for replacement, maybe we should check backwards compatibility?
Usually there is a request for some tests.
If you choose to work with us there will be some negotiations and if we agree, we have a contract. While the negotiation is moving along there is a technical cooperation to define the controls, regulations etc.
We find the specs have become better lately and we enjoy those that are critical and knowledgeable.
“Aha, this is what you mean”-questions are usually taken care of by our technical development team. Hopefully you don´t mind that they build something that goes along with your specification. Just quick&dirty to make sure we have the same expectations.
As the development team are solving the deeper questions in the hardware we will communicate more with you about software and interface. It would be naïve to expect a development without any problems, but our teams won´t give up, we will not let you down. It is here relations are tested.
You will get what we call an office test, your R&D gets a sample that is only to be evaluated in an office environment.
When the office test is granted, we move into the lab and the testing starts, leading to a lab prototype.
Six or seven months later there are real samples ready for field testing (are you in a hurry? Check out our Scanreco FLEX solution). They have passed verifications and are CE-labeled. Time to take them into the reality. Some clients want to take them to Alaska and Bangkok, some want to test them through seasons. It takes time and is of course very critical.
This is where your and our logistics are kicking in. At the same time we make sure that all approvals are made in each country that you are aiming for.
As a manufacturer we have worldwide authorizations but when a new remote or a change is made, we need new approvals.
Next thing is like starting a supertanker, production ramps up and our EMS department makes sure that forecasts and orders are in sync.
Negotiated plans are put into work, how warranty claims are handled, what happens after the warranty period. Who repairs and who takes care of service? Normally we are looking at the next remote with you.
About Scanreco
Technological innovation, reliability, safety, affordability, and ease of use have always been our hallmarks. Leading original equipment manufacturers (OEM) such as Fassi, Schwing, Hiab (Cargotec), Hammar Maskin and HMF have hence handpicked Scanreco as a main supplier of professional radio remote control systems globally.
From fishing ships at sea to agricultural sprayers in the field, Scanreco radio remote control systems are tough and built to withstand water, salt, sand, and dust ingress. Let’s face it, the last thing you want to experience is downtime due to water ingress. That is why the leading OEMs in maritime, agriculture and energy equipment depend on Scanreco for long-lasting remote-control solutions.
Mobile hydraulic machines vibrate. Machines like stone crushers, horizontal grinders, and conveyors are MADE to vibrate, sometimes violently. Scanreco is the chosen radio remote control platform for mobile hydraulic machines that have the capability to grind concrete, stone, demolition debris, railroad ties, whole trees, pallets, storm debris, shingles, logs, stumps and even entire glass recycle containers. With potted components selected for toughness and durability, our receivers sometimes outlast even the machines on which they are mounted.
Although Scanreco has been a wireless innovator for nearly 40 years, wired connections for tethered control, firmware programming, control box cabling and antenna extensions are sometimes needed. However, we strive to keep wired connection points to a minimum and have designed and reinforced access points to curtail the ingress of water and dust.
Scanreco hardware components like joysticks, paddles, toggles, and buttons are designed for near constant use, day in and day out. Our testing facilities in Stockholm, Sweden include robotic usage simulators that activate these individual components thousands of times per day. Rest assured that the controls on your Scanreco wireless system have the capability to be pushed, pulled, or switched millions of times during their lifecycles.
Scanreco wireless radio transmitters, both belly packs and handheld units, are designed for operator safety and comfort (plus they look really cool too!). Nearly 40 years of radio remote control expertise and customer feedback has provided us with a unique perspective on the ergonomic design of mobile hydraulic remote controls. In addition, Scanreco-specific accessories enable operators to control equipment safely and comfortably all day long in harsh conditions. Mini and Maxi options include neck straps, waist belts, and our ultra-comfortable aluminum carrying hook.
Leveraging nearly 40 years of Radio Frequency (RF) experience, Scanreco’s proprietary Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology allows you to operate in the noisiest RF environments. Highly resistant to interference, our wireless FHSS technology significantly reduces connectivity drops due to such noise. Additionally, higher RF transmission power options, antenna extension cables, and repeater networks can extend radio coverage into kilometer ranges.
Never-Stop Technology TM by Scanreco is just that: it enables you to finish the job even if your transmitter battery dies. Available only on our Mini and Maxi platforms, you can pop in a fully charged Scanreco battery or run the transmitter via tether cable for as long as you need while recharging.
What sets Scanreco apart from other remote-control manufacturers is our commitment to safety, reliability, ease-of-use, and service. In most cases, Scanreco enables you to replace individual system components and not have to retrofit an entire system. This allows you to:
Scanreco customers demand functionality with minimal failure in nearly all environments: wet, dusty, humid, salty, and extreme cold and hot temperature. From the frigid North Sea to the dusty Texas panhandle, Scanreco radio remote controls are designed to perform day-after-day.
Every job site brings its own unique challenges and things that keep you up at night. Your Scanreco radio remote control should not be one of things you worry about. Although any machine can fail unexpectedly and cause damage to electrical integrations, rest assured that your Scanreco system is built to survive catastrophic machine failures. It may go into hibernation, but it will continue to work.
Applications
What do your customers want to control with their “Your Brand” remote control? Drilling rigs? Concrete pumps? A machine that moves live salmon from one bassin to another? An avocado picking robot? Based on our proven platforms, we can adapt to virtually all industries and applications.
