六合彩开奖记录 monitoring and increased Human Machine Interface is a new Mantra in the high-end construction equipment industry. How is your organisation coping with this demand for customers, and how ready are your products to meet this demand?
The company provides the option of telematics, which in turn digitises the equipment.
It helps the owners of the machinery to remotely monitor and supervise the various functional parameters of the machine and remain updated on its health and maintain the same to the optimum level for better performance.

ACE has recently launched NX Series NextGen multi-activity cranes.

These types of multi-activity cranes with articulated steering are the first in the world and ACE has already applied for the necessary patents for the entire series. We have also introduced a multi-activity piling crane model FP210, which can do piling activity like (a) cage handling / lowering, (b) concreting and (c) casing removal other than doing the normal loading /unloading and shifting of material at the site.

What are the plans for electrification of the offering by your organisation? What typical challenges do you think the industry would face if we have to move to complete electric offering for the customers?
We are seeing a lot of focus on climate and emission reduction across the globe and it will gain momentum to meet net-zero commitment by 2050. The automobile sector is already started witnessing an early stage of transformation to electric vehicle adoption and inline it is imperative construction equipment industry to adopt cleaner technology to reduce emissions moving forward.

Productivity is definitely a key factor in deciding the choice of technology or fuel type and right now there is a lot of work in progress to develop products with green technologies.

However, much needs to be done to fine-tune the alternative fuel technology/fuel type, availability, and related infrastructure to support the adoption.

With the heavy increase in the expenditure for infrastructure development in this country, how do you think you are going to utilise the opportunity? Are you planning to add more products in the future? Please elaborate.
Developing versatile and cost-effective products is a continuous process. We had introduced new technologies and new models across our product range at a phenomenal pace. To cater to rising demands of the industry, we will continue to do so and our recently launched NX series and FP 210 are a testimony to this.
