Wireless I/O functionality for increased ergonomics

Swedish company EBL Systems AB is a supplier of ergonomic baggage and industrial material handling systems. The system minimize staff costs for absence caused by injuries and heavy wear on staff as well as down time caused by frequent maintenance of the cable coil.

Wireless replaces the cable coil

EBL Systems AB are using the Bluetooth I/O Module in order to replace the cable coil between the baggage crane and the manual remote control unit. The wireless solution brings a number of advantages such as reduced hardware, lower maintenance and repair costs for the cable coil. In addition, the solution provides a larger amount of flexibility for the operator. EBL Systems offer electrical as well as pneumatic driven systems.

Increased flexibility

The Bluetooth I/O Module is a new standard product from connectBlue based on the Bluetooth Serial Port Adapter. The I/O functionality is implemented using a protocol on top of the Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP).

“Some of the key benefits are increased flexibility for the crane operators in terms of height and distance to the crane,” said Kjell Andreasson, President at EBL Systems
