IBIS - Advanced Multifunctional Machinery for Outdoor Applications

The aim of the ¿Advanced Multi-functional machinery for Outdoor Application¿ (IBIS) project is to develop basic technologies for a new generation of construction machine, based on the concept of multi-application tool-carriers, automatic motion control of the boom using innovative hydraulic actuators and on-board diagnostics. It will address the needs for more eco-efficient and environmental friendly, safer and user friendlier machines. Due to reduced fuel consumption and less pollution the developments will contribute to a higher quality of life on one side and will significantly reduce the exploitation of primary energy resources on the other side. By developing onboard condition and area monitoring in combination with sophisticated automatic motion control of the machine a highly improved operability and worker¿s safety will be achieved.
