OMNI Technology To Compete For Three Industry Awards

Construction News Image
OMNI by Terex has been named in the final shortlist for three prestigious awards.

The new solution improves efficiency, simplifies the process, and most importantly, reduces the risk of injury on crushing and screening jobsites. It delivers a tablet-based interface that is fitted inside the cab of a material feed excavator and gives operators centralised remote access to multiple machine control systems within a crushing and screening train.

The technology enhances jobsite safety by giving the operator full control and ability of immediate intervention without having to leave the cab, reducing the operator's direct contact with heavy duty crushing equipment at ground level and other elements of the jobsite (such as dust/moving equipment). It also simplifies and improves efficiency of the operation of crushing and screening equipment by providing real-time information and increased visibility through live-camera views, so the operator can make informed decisions and adjust settings when needed.
