The order includes Alimak Hek’s new remote control system - A3 - an online system for remotely collecting operational information and data, such as time and number of starts and stops, hours in operation, etc.

Depending on the control system used it can also serve as a fault diagnostics device, tracing faults for quick and easy action in order to keep down-time as low as possible.
