With BUDDYtron, the German provider of lifting and lashing means is pursuing the goal of making the daily planning and performance of lifting operations easier by providing fast and targeted information and preventing incorrect use scenarios involving lifting means. A central function of the app is product identification via NFC, which allows users to access product information directly on site. Almost all RUD products are therefore equipped as standard with a highly robust RFID transponder, with which the products can be easily identified via smartphone. The app then automatically calls up all stored product information, such as technical data and operating instructions \u2013 so that users have every desired document at hand within a few seconds.<\/p>\n
Lifting points and lifting means check\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n When selecting components, the integrated lifting point check provides important assistance: in just a few steps, it is possible to check whether a lifting point is suitable for lifting a certain load. To do this, the user first identifies the lifting point via NFC or selects it via a product search or article number. In addition, it stores central parameters for the intended lifting operation, such as the weight of the load, with just a few clicks. The app then starts the automatic check and delivers a clear result after just a few seconds. The app\u2019s lifting means check also works in this way, allowing the selected lifting means configuration to be checked for its suitability for the respective application, taking the useful length and number of strands, among others, as a basis. The BUDDYtron app also offers support when performing visual inspections, for example before the use of a lifting chain: users can send photos to RUD at any time to obtain a technical assessment of the component status \u2013 quickly and easily from the app. In case of more specific enquiries or remaining uncertainties, users can also contact RUD specialists directly via the app and obtain individual advice.<\/p>\n
