Xwatch's products, XW series, include height control, slew control, and rated capacity indicators (RCI). These systems create a safe work environment by limiting machinery movement to set safe zones. The Xwatch Leica Geosystems part of Hexagon 3D collision avoidance system offers total protection with height and slew limits, RCI, and 3D avoidance above and below ground. Proper installation is critical to ensure these systems work accurately and reliably.
Sound installation ensures all sensors and controls work correctly, vital for the system's performance. Poor installation can cause failures, false readings, and dangerous situations. To guarantee the system works well and has longevity, it is necessary to use professional Xwatch-approved installers, except for the Simple Safe One (SS1), a self-install height-limiting solution.
Xwatch (part of Hexagon) systems are user-friendly and require minimal operator training while performing well. This ease of use and features like telematics and creep control show the importance of a thorough installation to fully utilise the system's capabilities and ensure operator safety.
Xwatch works with professional partners to achieve high installation standards. For example, Next Gen Plant Ltd has installed 20 XW4 and XW5 systems in the last eight weeks, maintaining high safety standards.
Robbie Harding, Director at Next Gen Plant, did these installations on Hitachi machines (see pictures below), with the latest installed yesterday on a Hitachi Construction Machinery (UK) long-reach ZX250.
Robbie said, "We love what Xwatch stands for and it's a pleasure to install their fantastic system. We're excited about the future of this partnership and look forward to helping many more customers."
Next Gen Plant's installations are known for being tidy and neat. They ensure the systems work well and keep the machinery working safely to its capacity. This attention to detail shows the professionalism and dedication of both Xwatch and its partners.
These partnerships and professional installations show Xwatch's dedication to advancing safety technology in the industry.
