The market in entertainment automation is expanding exponentially as stakeholders realise the enduring benefits of automating performances or venues.
The main advantages of stage automation are:
Gives a competitive edge to entertainment venues accommodating a high volume of touring productions
Improved precision, timing and complexity of stage effects
Enhanced reliability
Accurate repeatability
Faster rigging, changeovers, load ins and load outs
Easier maintenance of stage elements such as flying bars or lighting bridges
No counterweight cradles means increased useable stage area and wall space
No counterweight cradles means reduced risk to staff from loading and unloading operations
Achieves stage effects that are impossible using manual methods
Integrated stage safety and additional safety features such as emergency stops, light curtains and safe edges
Leading automation systems follow guidelines such as EN61508, conform to a quality management system such as ISO9001:2000 and are subjected to rigorous testing
