1GUAVA launch tower crane analysis software in UK

London, UK-based software company 1GUAVA will launch its tower crane usage monitoring program in the UK on the Wolffkran stand at the forthcoming Vertikal Days trade show. 

The company will promote how the standalone web-based software boosts simple process-es to ensure vital data is captured on-site to give an overview of tower crane utilisation while capturing key events such as winding off, maintenance/breakdowns and idle time.

1GUAVA says the program can increase on-site productivity, promote proactive scheduling, and deliver intuitive reporting to support on-site operations.

Throughout Vertikal Days 1Guava will present live demonstrations and show the software's capabilities in real-time.

"I am very excited to take the opportunity to share our new online platform live in Peterbor-ough with our friends from Wolffkran," said Philip Quicoe, founder of 1Guava. "I have been working on job sites and been involved with tower cranes for many years. I observed first-hand a need for a digital platform to manage and monitor tower crane usage and I look for-ward to demonstrating our offering to visitors at Europe's largest lifting equipment show."

Wolffkran has already added 1Guava to its rental quotations in the UK. Adrian Hawkins, sales director UK & Ireland, said, "We identified this software would support our customers with lifting records being kept in paper files on site in most instances. The feedback has been very positive, and we believe more of our customers will significantly benefit from having the 1Guava platform when they see its online capability."

The platform can be used for any operated plant asset on site. 1Guava requires a tablet to be placed in the operator's cab of the plant asset. With just a few taps on the tablet screen, the usage of the plant asset can be recorded. This is then shown on the online dashboard accessible from many connected devices (e.g. laptop, tablet, phone). The data is recorded, and activity is shown in real time, enabling users to see the progress even if they are not physically on-site.
