(Sharpsville, PA, USA)  Cattron Group International, a leading global manufacturer of remote control products and professional services for the industrial, mining, commercial mobile and railroad markets introduces CattronConnect™, the company’s newest, most advanced service offering.  The CattronConnect software helps increase productivity, safety and profits by allowing the user to create and manage custom reports that monitor equipment health and provide alerts before damage occurs to either machinery or personnel.

Cattron’s new M1 wireless control system for EOT cranes provides the next level of safety and reliability for demanding industrial applications.  The M1 system can control up to four motions with two ergonomic, multi-axis joystick controllers.  The trolley/hoist selector, two aux push buttons and toggles are mounted on an impact resistant Lexan® housing.  EOT cranes currently using remote controls can easily be standardized to the M1 system, saving time and money. In addition, as part of Cattron’s new CattronControl™ product series, the M1 wireless system uses the company’s external TransKey™ RFID configuration for efficient operations at 900 MHz, allowing facilities to minimize spares and transfer keys to other controllers which increases safety and flexibility and streamlines workflow.
