MUNBYN’s rugged mobility solution helped Tadano improve crane equipment management, field service accessibility, and industrial asset tracking across demanding heavy equipment environments.
In the heavy lifting and crane industry, reliable access to equipment information and durable field devices are essential for supporting equipment delivery, inspection, maintenance, and on-site service operations. MUNBYN partnered with Tadano to provide rugged mobile computing and industrial barcode scanning solutions designed for crane-related applications and outdoor industrial environments.
Case Study: Collaboration with Tadano
Tadano is one of the world’s leading manufacturers and distributors of lifting equipment, specializing in rough terrain cranes, all-terrain cranes, telescopic crawler cranes, and lattice boom crawler cranes. Its products are widely used in construction, infrastructure, energy, and industrial projects worldwide.
Because crane equipment frequently operates in large-scale outdoor job sites and demanding industrial conditions, Tadano required durable mobile devices capable of supporting field equipment management, maintenance workflows, and industrial asset identification.
Issues
1. Harsh Outdoor Operating Environments
Crane operations and field service activities often take place in environments exposed to dust, vibration, sunlight, temperature fluctuations, and continuous movement. Standard commercial devices struggled to provide stable long-term performance under these conditions.
2. Limited Access to Equipment & Service Information
Field engineers and crane operators needed fast access to equipment specifications, maintenance records, inspection documents, and operational systems directly at construction and lifting sites. Traditional workflows relying on paper documents or office-based systems reduced flexibility and delayed service response times.
3. Inefficient Equipment & Component Tracking
Managing crane components, spare parts, and service assets across multiple projects required accurate and reliable barcode scanning capabilities. Manual identification processes increased the risk of tracking errors and slowed maintenance operations.
Solution
To support Tadano’s heavy equipment operations, MUNBYN provided the MUNBYN IRT09A Rugged Windows Tablet and the MUNBYN IBS01 Industrial Barcode Scanner as rugged industrial mobility solutions for crane-related field applications. The rugged tablet was used to provide reliable access to operational and maintenance systems in crane environments, while the industrial barcode scanner supported equipment identification and asset management workflows.
MUNBYN IRT09A Rugged Windows Tablet
1. Reliable Performance for Crane Field Operations
The IRT09A rugged tablet provided stable performance in demanding crane and construction environments, helping field personnel access operational systems and service information directly from job sites. Its rugged industrial design helped withstand vibration, dust exposure, and outdoor working conditions commonly associated with heavy lifting operations.
2. Improved Equipment Information Accessibility
With the Windows-based rugged tablet, field engineers and operators could quickly review maintenance records, technical documents, inspection data, and operational workflows without returning to office workstations. This improved field service flexibility and supported more efficient equipment management processes.
MUNBYN IBS01 Industrial Barcode Scanner
1. Faster Equipment & Component Identification
The IBS01 industrial barcode scanner enabled fast and accurate scanning of crane components, spare parts, and industrial assets during maintenance and service operations. This improved traceability and helped reduce manual identification errors.
2. Streamlined Maintenance & Asset Tracking
By digitizing equipment tracking workflows, the IBS01 helped support more organized asset management and maintenance coordination across large-scale crane projects and service operations. Its industrial-grade scanning performance also ensured reliable operation in outdoor and industrial environments.
Supporting Heavy Equipment & Crane Operations Worldwide
Through its collaboration with Tadano, MUNBYN successfully delivered rugged mobility solutions tailored for crane field operations, industrial asset tracking, and heavy equipment service environments.
The deployment of the MUNBYN IRT09A Rugged Windows Tablet and MUNBYN IBS01 Industrial Barcode Scanner helped support reliable field data access, improve equipment traceability, and enhance industrial mobility across demanding crane applications.
