Project Success in Portugal: Bizzocchi VP33 Aerial Ladder Back in Service
We are proud to announce the successful commissioning of our latest revamping project at our customer’s site in Portugal. When a machinery manufacturer is no longer active, maintaining their legacy equipment becomes a massive industry challenge. Rather than letting a highly capable Bizzocchi VP33 fire-fighting aerial ladder platform (BHD 330) face retirement, EHR Elektronik and MOBA Mobile Automation stepped in to completely redesign and modernize its entire control architecture.
The project
Bringing a machine whose manufacturer is no longer active back to full field operation through intelligent retrofitting.
- Machine: Bizzocchi VP33 (BHD 330) fire-fighting aerial ladder platform
- Location: customer site, Portugal
- Partnership: EHR Elektronik + MOBA Mobile Automation, worldwide system integration in mobile machine automation since 2005
What we did
A complete technological overhaul:
- Total electronic redesign: all legacy wiring and components replaced with state-of-the-art products up to the latest standards
- Next-gen control: MPC113 controllers and MSC113 slave units across truck, turret and cage on a robust CAN-BUS network
- Modernized interfaces: MOBA HMIs with 7″ displays on the turret and cage operator panels for real-time monitoring and control
- Sophisticated LMI (Load Moment Indicator): 10 dynamic geometric tables, 4 distinct swing zones and dynamic lateral tables that adjust automatically to cage load and outrigger positions
A sustainable solution
By bringing this complex machine back to full field operation, we deliver more than a high-performance solution to our customer. We actively contribute to the global economy and environmental sustainability by extending the lifecycle of valuable heavy machinery through intelligent retrofitting.
Field engineering
Complex revamping projects like the VP33 demand deep field engineering expertise, custom application software and seamless hardware integration.
