Launch of PME by Prolec

Core software in the integral PME system processes sensor data to model exact positional references, within the new modular Prolec Safety Controller. This real time machine position enables more responsive, more precise and therefore safer operation across a large range of equipment functions including lifting safety, height and slew control, overturning protection, reach control and cab protection. It offers real safety benefits to plant operators in construction and demolition applications.

Many existing control solutions are designed for one specific application or task. PME takes a different approach by processing machine data to produce generic metrics, irrespective of the task required for the machine. In turn, this permits far greater freedom in installation and equipment operation.

Beside flexibility and simplicity of installation, the PME concept along with the Prolec Safety Controller’s highly modular architecture also offers a path to easy upgrades. That means equipment owners and operators only need to specify the safety & control performance required today, confident that extra functionality can be easy added later as workloads dictate. Upgrading from simple to complex machine safety and guidance solutions is straightforward and highly cost-effective. With PME at the system’s heart, users simply upload fresh controller code instead of installing a totally new system from scratch.

A key feature of the system is Prolec’s all-new intelligent operator interface. It is a smart, rugged touch-screen module featuring outstanding resolution and unambiguous instructions. It is considered by Prolec to be the cornerstone of the PME concept. The unit lets operators and equipment owners enjoy a richer experience with enhanced machine interfaces, better operator feedback, a faster processor, clearer graphics, easier installation and improved reliability.
