Brokk said remote-controlled demolition machines can significantly improve safety and productivity in foundry and smelting maintenance operations. The equipment allows operators to work at a safe distance from hazardous tasks while reducing injuries associated with handheld tools. Industry data showed fracture-related injuries in foundries result in an average of 32 lost workdays, while remote-controlled systems could reduce workers’ compensation costs by up to 50% and improve productivity by as much as 75%. Some electric-powered models can also reduce exhaust emissions and improve indoor air quality. Markets believe automation and remote-controlled equipment are becoming increasingly important for industrial safety upgrades.
