Transforming high-risk environments operations: Enabling autonomous operations with Wi-Fi connectivity

Background & summary

Our client embarked on a critical fatality elimination project aimed at removing a machine operator from the high-risk.


FTP’s Professional Services team was engaged in this project due to our extensive expertise in the design and implementation of autonomous systems.


Leveraging our strong relationship with the remote-control system provider and our deep industry knowledge, FTP collaborated closely with all parties to design, procure, and implement a robust network solution. This solution enabled the client to successfully achieve their goal of operating a remote-control excavator within the ship’s hull, eliminating the need for an on-site operator and significantly improving safety outcomes.
