Xwatch Safety Solutions, part of Hexagon, is launching the advanced safety and control system MK2 at bauma 2025. The new system is simpler, more intuitive and easier to adopt compared to its predecessor MK1. With installation taking 30% less time, the new system is even more adaptable and user-friendly, reducing downtime for plant hire companies and contractors. The solution retains all the capabilities of MK1, including height and slew restriction, Rated Capacity Indicator (RCI), and the full suite of Xwatch safety features across the XW1, XW2, XW3, XW4, and XW5 models.  New enhancements include revolutionary proportional motion control when driving electric over hydraulic valve blocks (pat. pending), a significant breakthrough in precision and efficiency. Graphics have been completely reworked, creating a more visually friendly and intuitive monitor interface in various languages. MK2 is telematics-ready for connected construction sites and is more compact, freeing up in-cab space Paving the way for future compatibility   Due to

Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, announced its patent to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to help reduce the likelihood process safety hazards. The innovation automatically, or semi-automatically, analyzes potential process hazards and validates protection mechanisms in an industrial process. It is then possible to prevent hazards using an analysis tool by engaging protective mechanisms to the process. As more industries embrace digital transformation and generate high-quality data, the advantages of implementing AI in day-to-day operations increases. This latest patent from the EcoStruxure™ Triconex Safety team has the potential to identify potential hazards and safeguards in a process. Process safety management can then take advantage of industrial, real-time data to revalidate HAZOP studies to prevent industrial hazards and save lives. “We are the first to push this boundary of automating the hazard process analysis with artificial intelligence,” said Chris Stogner, Schneider Electric’s senior director of offer management. “Bringing AI to functional
