Human error is the main cause of tower crane accidents. The best way to prevent accidents is automation. Mittametalli made miniature models of tower cranes for Team MiCrane.

Our team was creating a realistic scale model of a construction site with cranes that function like the real thing. Using this model, it is possible to test newly created automation systems safely, quickly and cost-effectively, making construction sites much safer places. “We aimed for the cranes in the scale model to look as realistic as possible, which meant very demanding and unusual laser cutting of the aluminum profiles. Mittametalli Oy made our wishes regarding the realistic appearance of the crane possible, by implementing not only the customized laser cutting but also painting the machined profiles. In addition to the profiles ordered from Mittametalli, the consultation received from their experts during the project was invaluable to us,” Team MiCrane says.
