Schneider Electric introduces Harmony mobile box

November 2014 Industrial Wireless

Schneider Electric has introduced the Harmony mobile box, the newest accessory in the Harmony range for control and signalling. Designed to complement the popular wireless and battery-less Harmony XB5R pushbutton, it provides practical housing for the control unit, making it easy to handle, carry, or store in a secure holder or on a hook.

With the introduction of the Harmony mobile box, users now have at their disposal a complete solution for controlling equipment wirelessly while being freely able to change the command position.

This delivers many practical benefits:

* Increased efficiency – forklift operators can operate machines, open and close automatic doors, or change traffic lights without dismounting.

* Reduced installation cost – users can eliminate costly and complicated wiring in applications such as construction lifts, long and modular machines, large production sites, factory gates, and so on.

* Improved safety of operator and application – operators can control the equipment from a distance. There are no exposed wires or cable trays on a boom that can wear out over time.
