The innovative Liebherr Remote Control System (LiReCon) system can be used on a range of machines from the firm, including crawler excavators, crawler dozers and tower cranes.

The LiReCon system consists of a state-of-the-art teleoperation stand equipped with the latest control technology. Several cameras provide real-time images from different perspectives, while microphones transmit the machine sounds. This comprehensive sensor technology enables machine operators to precisely control the construction machinery from a safe distance.

The technology offers several major advantages for construction sites. Not only does it increase operator safety in high-risk environments, it also increases machine efficiency through faster shift changes and reduces downtime. LiReCon can also be used to access areas that would be too dangerous for direct on-site operation.

LiReCon makes it possible to modernise the workplace for machine operators. The system allows operators to work together in a comfortable office environment that is remote from the noise and vibration of a construction site. The real-time images from different perspectives also provides operators with more information, boosting efficiency. The new machine control system simplifies communication between the machine operator and the site supervisor, with regard to logistics.
