Intelligent Controls System



Autoquip offers its AQ Connect, an intelligent control system available as an option across the entire Autoquip product line, and a standard on new VRC products. The AQ Connect intelligent design monitors equipment and self-diagnoses operational issues. It can also be programmed to perform a variety of tasks to integrate into specific applications and workflows.

AQ Connect intelligent technology provides customers with the capability to monitor their equipment from a local or remote communication system and troubleshoot any issues in advance of the lift becoming non-operational. Operators are notified of problems by status messages from a human machine interface (HMI). "In the long run, investing in an Autoquip Lift with an AQ Connect intelligent panel will save our customers time and money by providing the right information so they can diagnose and resolve the issues quickly with less downtime," said Louis Coleman, Director of Sales and Marketing.

In addition, Autoquip offers a remote monitoring service contract through its web-based platform where its team can access customers' information to reprogram or resolve problems on their behalf. Customers also have access to their information through a dashboard to collect and analyze data.

Features that make AQ Connect intelligent:

  • Self-diagnostic capabilities
  • Safety alerts
  • Remote monitoring and reporting
  • Programmable tasks
  • Built-in system communication.

An advantage of the AQ Connect control panel is the wide range of horsepower and voltage combinations available within one panel. More than a dozen different combinations are available for mechanical lifts, and cover all options for hydraulic lifts. The panel design also includes I/O expansion slots for additional functionality.

"Autoquip additionally offers a corporate video detailing the company's various capabilities and myriad of talents that come together every day to produce the best in class material handling equipment," said a company spokesperson. The video allows both potential and existing customers to gain an insight into the company and its manufacturing facility in Guthrie, OK. It highlights Autoquip's ability to offer services for the entire product life-cycle, from consulting to design, manufacturing to customer service.

"We wanted to give our customers the opportunity to know us better, what we offer and how it is made," said Coleman. "We always have an open invitation to visit our plant, but now we can bring the plant to our customers through video."
