Collision Avoidance

QCA has helped OEMs and End Users implement control systems with effective anti-collision functionality, especially within the context of large, rail mounted machinery. QCA have engineered, installed, and commissioned collision avoidance systems on many rail-mounted pieces of equipment worldwide, using all major technologies on the market. This puts us in an ideal position to recommend the best technology for your application, but more importantly philosophy for development and deployment needed to achieve a successful, long-term implementation.

QCA's advanced collision avoidance systems protect your people and production, enhancing operational efficiency. Utilizing modern 3D simulation and scanning technology layered with traditional instrumentation like encoders, our designs avoid common pitfalls with anti-collision systems leading to reduced availability and throughput. We have repeated success across multiple manufacturers, achieving very high reliability; all our systems are still running today. This is achieved through a combination of technology selection, implementation philosophy and post-sales support.

No matter what machinery and materials you’re working with, our collision avoidance and automation solutions significantly reduce the risk of human error and machine-related accidents. This protects personnel while minimizing the risk of costly asset damage, reducing potential downtime and maintenance expenses. When you choose QCA, you're investing in technology that prioritizes safety, efficiency, and compliance with industry standards, ensuring optimization across your operation.

A robust and reliable Collision Avoidance System is the foundation for Remote Operations and Automation of large, rail-mounted equipment. We achieve this using leading technology, but more importantly, our open, PLC-centric implementation philosophy which ensures high availability, and maintainability which maintains and improves value over time.
