Yesterday, Adam Guilfoyle from Xwatch Safety Solutions part of Hexagon was onsite on the M25 motorway, where L Lynch Plant Hire & Haulage is hard at work on road upgrades for a leading tier-one contractor. Adam successfully upgraded an existing Xwatch system on a Komatsu PC228us LC to the advanced Xwatch Leica Geosystems 3D collision avoidance system.
At Xwatch, we believe in providing top-notch service without disrupting your workflow. If you need to upgrade your Xwatch system, there's no need to pull it off the job. Our team will come to you, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum efficiency. Now, that's what we call service!
At Xwatch, safety is our top priority. We can report that this installation was carried out 100% safely. Lynch Plant has been a steadfast pioneer in site safety, with their traditional Thumbs Up for safety gesture pioneered by Rob Lynch, widely used across UK sites, which was then digitalised in collaboration with Safety Shield, further improving safety protocols.
Lynch Plant was among the first hire companies to adopt the Xwatch Leica Geosystems part of Hexagon 3D collision avoidance technology, showcasing their dedication to innovation and safety.
The system utilises Xwatch and Leica technology to create a three-dimensional "safety bubble" around machinery, effectively preventing it from entering or interacting with restricted areas. Its reception as a transformative technology in the field highlights its global impact. Operators benefit from an advanced user interface that integrates visual cues into the Leica MC1 display, which simplifies navigation by clearly outlining accessible and restricted areas without the need for physical markers.
The system’s ability to prevent machinery from entering hazardous zones significantly reduces the risk of accidents, enhancing overall site safety. It helps avoid disturbances to protected underground services and ensures compliance with site-specific regulations, contributing to environmental conservation.
