Telemotive

In early 1959 Telemotive Industrial Controls delivered the world's first radio remote control system for use on a large overhead crane. The customer was Ryerson Steel of Chicago, IL USA and the system used very low frequency radio waves generated by vacuum tube technology. This first system was quickly accepted by the steel industry and subsequent orders followed. Telemotive continued to invest in research and soon was offering solid state radio systems. In 1969, Telemotive delivered the first digital radio system to the market. Telemotive followed that milestone with the first anti-collision system for cranes in 1975 and in the 1980s introduced micro-processor based radio systems using a transmission technique called Time Multiple Sharing (TMS) that allows up to 4 transmitters to be used on the same radio frequency without interference. In 1998, Telemotive introduced a new modular line of radio controls based on their already successful 10K Radio series.

To date, Telemotive has delivered over twenty-five thousand radio control systems to world wide users in such applications as overhead cranes, conveyors, locomotives and car spotters, ship loaders, furnace doors, monorail systems, automatic guided vehicles, ballast car gates, intermodal cranes, bulldozers, tractors and many other applications where radio controls can be more efficient and safe. Telemotive systems are used in the automotive, aerospace, agriculture, mining, transportation, utility, metal processing, and all phases of heavy and light manufacturing industries.

Telemotive, as world leader in the production of wireless remote controls, is looking to the new century where Telemotive technology and products will continue to underscore their motto, "The Safest Move You Can Make".
