De nos jours, soulever une poutre en acier, déplacer un conteneur ou contrôler une grue ne nécessite plus particulièrement de force physique. Au contraire, l'essentiel repose sur la dextérité et un joystick. La société suédoise Kristianstads Lyftdon AB est une spécialiste de longue date des solutions ergonomiques pour les cabines destinées au pilotage des grues et à d'autres opérations industrielles. Grâce aux technologies Anybus de HMS, son nouveau joystick peut être utilisé dans les applications industrielles reposant sur PROFINET.
