A new generation of anti-collision system for track bound cranes has been introduced by Sivers IMA. The product has been implemented with several end customers and Sivers IMA and Gigasense has signed an agreement covering the delivery of radar front ends to Gigasense.

“The technology from Sivers IMA is a perfect match to the requirements set by these types of applications in the harshest environmental conditions. As a result of the joint development work with the Gigasense team, this design win will now result in a successful release of an end customer product on the market,” explained Robert Ekström, CEO of Sivers IMA.

Gigasense recently introduced its new generation system, the Gigasense G2, an anti-collision solution to avoid accidents and protect people, property and production. The microwave technology from Sivers IMA is one of the pillars of this system to secure the right performance and quality in harsh conditions and the Gigasense G2 was specifically designed to operate in the toughest of conditions like in steel works, mines and harbours.

“During the development of Gigasense G2 we have cooperated and utilised the full capability of Sivers IMA’s expertise and experience within the microwave area. By doing so, we have created a unique solution with a perfect fit to our business. It feels very good to have established a long term agreement between us to secure deliveries and future cooperation around products and solutions from Sivers IMA” added Maria Mörnborg, CEO of Gigasense.
