Case study: efficiency and control in aquaculture with the Pail manipulator

In a modern aquaculture plant, the handling of nets for catch control is an operation that requires extreme precision.

When the plant consists of numerous tanks or modules, lifting must be perfectly coordinated as the winches located along the perimeter are often difficult to manage simultaneously.

How can 12 different lifting points be managed individually to avoid downtime, coordination risks between multiple operators, and increase site efficiency?

The introduction of the Pail model industrial radio control has made it possible to make the entire operation easier in the hands of a single operator.

The Heart of Operability: 12 Selectors for Simultaneous Control

The efficiency of the system is manifested in the specific configuration of the industrial radio control, designed for maximum precision and speed of execution:

Multi-Winch Management: The Pail manipulator is equipped with 12 different selectors, each of which individually identifies and enables a specific winch of the plant, allowing the operator to have a direct correspondence between physical command and activation.
Selection and actuation of the maneuver: The system allows operational flexibility: by activating the selector (or desired selectors), the operator can pre-select which winches they intend to maneuver. Once the selection is set, via the up/down command, it is possible to simultaneously operate all chosen motors. This function is fundamental to guarantee a perfectly balanced lifting of the net, avoiding asymmetries in the load.
What are the key factors that make this safety radio control ideal for the fish sector?

Induction Charging: In an environment with the presence of saltiness, electronic components are at high risk of oxidation. The Pail eliminates the traditional weak point of systems with external batteries: metallic contacts. Induction charging technology, with the battery embedded inside the radio remote control, guarantees that the shell remains totally sealed, preventing oxidation, infiltration, and electrical malfunctions.
IP65 Robustness: The shell, made of fiber-glass reinforced plastic is designed to resist impacts, accidental falls, and exposure to harsh environments.
Certified Safety: The industrial safety radio control integrates a certified emergency STOP pushbutton, which guarantees the immediate shutdown of the entire system in case of need.
Operational evolution in numbers and safety
Thanks to the REMdevice radio remote control specifically designed for this application, the entire management of the plant becomes smoother, safer, and optimized for a single operator through:

Maximum Rationalization: A single device that simplifies and improves on-board logistics.

Increased Safety: The operator can move freely along the walkways, always positioning themselves at the point of maximum visibility relative to the load in total safety.
Operational Autonomy and Work Continuity: Thanks to intelligent energy management, the Pail guarantees coverage of up to 35 hours of continuous work with 5 hours of charging. This means being able to manage several days of net harvesting without the need for intermediate recharges, a critical factor during the narrow time windows imposed by marine weather conditions.
Conclusion
The Pail radio remote control is not a simple accessory, but the beating heart of an advanced lifting system. A single robust industrial radio control transforms operational complexity into fluid and safe control, defining the new standard of efficiency for modern aquaculture.
