20 innovations by xsplatforms Every building or structure is unique, thus demands specific solutions for facade maintenance. That is why XSPlatforms offers tailor made solutions for your work and safety needs. Solutions with a minimal impact on the structure and architecture of the building. Ranging from a telescopic installation, which retracts into the building, to the smallest details that prevent damage to the building s facade. About XSPlatforms XSPlatforms develops pioneering solutions for safe and efficient working at heights; from design and manufacture to assembly, inspection and management of systems for facade access. From offices in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North and South America, XSPlatforms also provides user training courses, risk inventories and consultancy services. Remote maintenance for accurate control Staying in control of a building maintenance unit, especially large and heavy ones, can be a challenge. For more accurate control, our answer is to link a BMU to a building management system, by using Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) technology. This enables the management system to track the installation s exact position, speed and direction of movement of both roofcar and gondola. By combining PLC with a remote maintenance system, we have created even more value. For minor maintenance or in case of a malfunction, the PLC data can be read remotely by us to give instructions or to detect the cause. Many times, we are able to resolve the issue without sending a technician to the scene. Remote maintenance enables XSPlatforms to provide maintenance services at a higher. wireless roofcars Not just standing out when it comes to design, XSPlatforms is also ahead when it comes to communication. Traditionally, the electronics of gondolas and roofcars are connected by one control cable, enabling users to control the movement of the roofcar. At heights of 60 meters (196.9 ft) and more, this calls for special conductor cables. These are expensive, and installation is labor-intensive. XSPlatforms equipped the latest generation of gondolas with technology for wireless communication with the roofcar. This saves costs. After all: there is no longer a control cable that needs to be serviced, maintained or replaced. weatherproof gondola If you have seen one, you have seen them all. Not with the arrival of the weatherproof gondola of XSPlatforms. It provides a spacious working place at height and is easy to operate. The first gondola designed to shield users from adverse weather conditions, enabling them to work safely even under conditions that would otherwise have made work impossible. This gondola not only offers a practical solution, but it combines functionality with design. A gondola which looks good and does not disfigure a building s looks.
