[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Doosan Bobcat's remote control technology, 'Max Control,' has won the Grand Innovation Product Award at the '2019 Innovation Product Awards' hosted by a North American rental industry magazine.

Doosan Bobcat announced on the 29th that its remote control technology 'Max Control' received the top Gold Award at the '2019 Innovation Product Awards' hosted by the North American rental industry magazine 'Rental Equipment Register.' The Innovation Product Awards, now in its 17th year, are given to the most innovative products released within a year in fields such as construction and landscaping.

The Max Control technology, which won the Gold Award, is the first in the construction industry to enable remote operation of products via iPhone or iPad based on Apple's iOS operating system. Doosan Bobcat also showcased this technology recently at CES 2020 held in Las Vegas, USA.

Max Control is praised for its high product compatibility and convenience. Customers can apply this feature to all loader products released since 2004 by simply installing a joystick control device without purchasing additional equipment and using a mobile application. Remote control is possible within a radius of up to 450 meters, and the function can be turned on or off via a mobile phone as needed.

A Doosan Bobcat official said, "The Max Control technology significantly reduces the risks of working in rough terrain and allows one person to operate multiple pieces of equipment, greatly improving work efficiency," adding, "We plan to release an Android application within this year along with an upgraded version equipped with additional features such as a front camera."
