Brokk Revolutionizes Demolition Technology with SmartPower+ Generation

Brokk, the global leader in remote-controlled demolition robots, announces the launch of Brokk SmartPower+, a groundbreaking new generation of robots unveiled at World of Concrete 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Among Brokk’s latest generation of industry-leading demolition robots are the Brokk 170⁺ and Brokk 200⁺ which are being displayed at World of Concrete 2024. Attendees can discover SmartPower+ and its many features offering significant improvements in endurance, operating experience, and intelligence.

Endurance of Unmatched Power

Brokk’s new range of SmartPower+ robots provides unmatched endurance by increasing operational uptime with consistent power delivery over time resulting in unmatched performance. Expertly engineered with rugged components, Brokk’s newest generation is resistant to shock, temperature, and vibrations — not to mention that all new robots and control boxes are dust and water protected to an IP65 equivalent— leading to outstanding reliability regardless of the work conditions. Brokk’s SmartPower+ generation also includes a noteworthy 87% reduction in cables and connectors, reducing weak points while also facilitating servicing and troubleshooting, which in turn, increases the lifespan of the robot.

Joy of Operating

Brokk SmartPower+ revolutionizes the operating experience for both seasoned professionals and new operators alike. More precision, better response times, and ease of operation all contribute to what can only be described as ‘’joy of operating.” Brokk’s SmartPower+ generation redefines the operating experience by introducing a new and improved lightweight control box weighing less than 3kg (or less than 6.5lbs), contributing to more enjoyable and comfortable work shifts.

The new ergonomically designed control box features tilted joysticks, easier-to-reach features, and faster dual charging. Brokk’s SmartPower+ control box includes the innovative Brokk QuickSwitch and intuitive settings for an improved operating experience, making it easier than ever to operate a Brokk robot, and in turn, easier to find and train operators. With Brokk’s new range of SmartPower+ robots and state-of-the-art features, operators can perform the demolition task at hand without shifting their gaze from the machine between commands, and as such, without compromising on performance or safety.

‘’With nearly five decades of experience, Brokk understands the challenges many industry professionals face in finding skilled operators to get the job done right,’’ said Martin Krupicka, CEO of Brokk Group.  This is precisely why we are committed to creating solutions for both seasoned professionals and new operators alike, setting a new benchmark in the demolition landscape.’’

Intelligence at its Core

This new generation of robots elevates the operator-machine interaction, focusing on added intelligence for the benefit of the operator. Visual status updates through incremental light indicators allow the operator to focus their attention on the demolition work at hand while simultaneously monitoring the status of the machine. A two-way communication system communicates the status back to the operator in real time, while customized features enhance the operating experience.

Brokk’s SmartPower+ generation is much smarter too, alerting the operator about any unwanted power supply or machine statuses, further contributing to an increase in uptime and overall reliability. SmartPower+ is enabled for future over-the-air upgrades to always be at the forefront of the industry. Fast and simple settings, an increase in sensors, as well as the addition of individual tool presets, all contribute toward a more user-friendly and efficient operator interface.

‘’We are thrilled to introduce SmartPower+ and a new generation of demolition robots that redefine the demolition landscape. This innovative advancement reflects Brokk’s dedication to pushing the limits and providing operators cutting-edge machines that surpass expectations,’’ said Martin Krupicka, CEO of Brokk Group.
