Intelli Grip tech

Technology Update for Wood's Powr-Grip products

 
The latest version 7.0 enables Intelli-Grip to connect wirelessly with a monitoring app.  It is currently in the late stages of development for Wood's Powr Grip Suction and Inline products. The app will be available soon for Android devices on Google Play Store. An app for iOS devices is planned but not yet in development.
 
How else does 7.0 differ from earlier versions?
Three additional languages — Czech, Dutch and Italian — are supported by 7.0. Other languages supported by Intelli-Grip includes Danish, English, French, German, Norwegian, Spanish and Swedish languages.

Which products have Intelli-Grip®?
All models with DC3 as part of their model number. Depending on the date of manufacture, the lifter will be equipped with either the original version of Intelli-Grip software (5.2) or an updated version (6.0 or 6.4). Models equipped with version 7.0 started shipping in mid 2019.

What is Intelli-Grip®?
Our vacuum lifter technology maximizes productivity, reduces human error, simplifies maintenance and repairs, and protects workers from harm. Intelli-Grip achieves this by monitoring the power system and dual vacuum system in real time, performing diagnostics automatically, displaying that information on the LCD screen of the lifter’s Control Unit and, when necessary, signalling an operator via strobe light and notification buzzer.
