The Prolec Machine Engine

Prolec demonstrated its Prolec Machine Engine (PME) and its Prolec Application Suite (PAS) at the first ever Plantworx exhibition near Coventry, central England.

Knowing the real-time position of machines is a core requirement in the safety and machine control industry. Where many solutions are application or task specific, PME takes machine data and makes it generic regardless of the task required. It is said to be a highly configurable and responsive system that can be tailored to any requirement. It is also easily upgradable to incorporate further functions simply and quickly through simple software changes.

Designed to combine data from any construction plant that requires load or reach measurement, or control, it provides a modular, integrated system to control both safety and machine guidance functions. This means the installation of one system where previously multiple systems would have been needed.

PAS is 309 Prolec’s range of 2D and 3D machine guidance products designed to simplify and increase the efficiency of earthmoving operations. There is a complete range of products available from the entry-level Digmaster 2D to the customisable, application specific pcX-Pro. These systems can be used across a number of applications from road construction to trenching and ditching, and from dredging to drilling and piling.

Gary Tuffy, Director of Sales and Marketing, was very impressed with 3579 PLANTWORX. He said, “It was an outstanding show. Having a plot in the Dig Zone enabled us to showcase our systems well. Even the weather worked for us – where other suppliers’ systems needed to be shut down in the rain, we kept working despite water pouring off our units, demonstrating the robustness of our kit. Receiving a runner-up award and Highly Commended in the Plantworx Innovation Awards also helped create a buzz around our PME system.”
