Can you provide a brief overview of Tele Radio and its evolution over the years in the field of wireless and industrial remote controls?
In the world of wireless and radio remote control, Tele Radio stands out as a seasoned expert, with a rich legacy spanning over 60 years. Their expertise extends across various industries, including industrial, lift, mobile, doors, gates, barriers, and applications related to construction and hydraulic machinery. The mission at Tele Radio revolves around delivering end-to-end product solutions, technologies, and services in wireless equipment control and machine communication, emphasizing the critical factors of reliability and safety.

Certifying their systems to the highest industry standards, Tele Radio ensures that everything operates seamlessly even under the toughest conditions. Systems with the highest safety requirements are certified for SIL3, PLd, or PLe, indepen-dently tested by accredited agencies. The commitment to safety is paramount, and users can rely on Tele Radio’s products with confidence.

One standout innovation from Tele Radio is the Exster system, empowering drivers to have full control over heavy vehicles from outside the cab. This not only enhances safety by providing greater flexibility and overview but also boosts work efficiency significantly. A single person using a remote control can accomplish the work of two, bringing about improvements in productivity and reducing fatigue. The ergonomic design eliminates the need for frequent climbs up and down the truck, making it a safer and more comfortable experience for daily operations.

Could you elaborate on the range of industrial wireless remote-control systems Tele Radio offers and their applications in the construction and infrastructure sector?
The construction industry is huge and includes many applications that we can operate efficiently and from a safe distance. Shovels, rock crushers, water pumps, aggregates and concrete factories are a small list of what we can operate wirelessly.

The mobile hydraulic vehicles market is vast, incorporating many diverse custom controls and unique functionality. Some common applications include rescue equipment, recovery vehicles, tail lifts, vac trucks, and truck mounted cranes. There are also smaller vehicles like ATVs, forestry transports, and mobile lighting stanchions that use winch systems, windlass controls and more, all of which can benefit from remote control. Tele Radio has been providing remote control systems for machines in these harsh environments for decades.

Tele Radio offers all kinds of solutions for the mobile hydraulic and construction industry where safe working is of great importance. We certify our systems to the highest industry standards to ensure everything continues to operate under the toughest conditions. Systems with the highest safety requirements are certified for SIL3, PLd or PLe. To guarantee the highest level of safety, Tele Radio’s products are therefore independently tested by an accredited testing agency. The certificates can always be shown when you request them. As a user, you must be able to rely 100% on the safety of Tele Radio products.

Reliable products are of great importance. A factory that is shut down for half a day due to equipment failure has major consequences. Tele Radio’s systems have a long range and are reliable and safe even under the most extreme conditions.

How does Tele Radio approach the design of Human-Machine Interface (HMI) elements in its remote control systems to enhance user awareness and contribute to overall safety in industrial operations?
HMIs play a crucial role in making our advanced systems more user-friendly, enabling operators to control and manage them efficiently.
Control elements:
We offer many different control elements such as buttons, joysticks, switches, paddles and more, that allow the operator to send commands to the controlled machine through there favoured element. The layout and design of these control elements are essential for intuitive and easy operation.
Visual display
Some of our remote controls have a visual display, from a small to a large full color screen that provide feedback on the status of the controlled equipment. This can include information on machine parameters, sensor readings and other relevant data. Clear and concise visual feedback helps operators make informed decisions.
Status indicators
LEDs are also used to communicate feedback from the application. These indicators can indicate whether the system is active, in standby, or if there are problems that require attention.
Custom foils
With a distinct logo, colors, symbols, and text, we create extra recognition, safety, and protection!
Unique logos, vibrant colors, meaningful symbols, and thoughtful texts all contribute to additional protection, heightened safety, and an unmistakable identity. All transmitters and receivers from Tele Radio are customizable according to your preferences.

The customization takes place without direct printing on the transmitter itself but on a special foil. This foil is made of high-quality, sturdy plastic or flexible PU and has a reliable 3M adhesive layer on the back. The type of foil and whether it covers or surrounds the buttons depend on the type and size of the transmitter and your preferences.

Protection
The printed foils are of top quality, resistant to intensive use, colorfast, and offer protection against liquids.

Safety
Extra safety is achieved by using crystal-clear symbols perfectly tailored to your specific application.

Recognition
Through the use of custom logos, colors, and other brand elements, the transmitter gains an unmistakable identity for your company or application.

In the ever-evolving field of industrial remote controls, what challenges has Tele Radio encountered, and how does the company stay innovative to meet the changing needs of the construction and infrastructure industry?
Our parent company Allgon invests significantly in research and develop-ment to stay ahead of the curve. This involves exploring new technologies, materials, and design concepts to enhance the functionality, efficiency, and safety of remote control systems. By collaborating with daughter company Åkerströms and customers, and we can work on inno-vation. Sharing insights and working together on common challenges can lead to more robust solutions.
