Overview
Willowmore implemented an automated height monitoring solution to support safe crane operations in an aviation-sensitive environment. The system enables real-time detection of height infringements, ensuring compliance with strict airspace regulations while maintaining operational efficiency.

Challenges
Operating heavy equipment near restricted airspace introduced critical safety and compliance challenges: 

• Risk of height infringements during crane operations near aviation zones  
• Need for high-precision, real-time monitoring to meet strict regulatory requirements  
• Limited visibility into live equipment height and potential breaches 
• Requirement to ensure compliance with civil aviation and flight zone regulations 
• Constraints in modifying existing equipment or disrupting ongoing operations  
• Need for a reliable, low-maintenance solution in an operational environment  

Solution
Willowmore deployed an automated height intrusion detection system using advanced sensing and monitoring technologies: 

• Implementation of wireless, solar-powered GNSS sensors for continuous monitoring  
• High-precision altitude detection with accuracy up to 1 cm 
• Real-time height monitoring and breach detection 
• Instant alerts and notifications for potential violations  
• System designed for non-intrusive deployment, requiring no modification to existing crane infrastructure  
• Alignment with aviation authority compliance and safety requirements 

Results
The deployment delivered critical improvements in safety, compliance and operational efficiency: 

• Enhanced Safety & Risk Mitigation
  Enabled early detection of height infringements therefore reducing risk in aviation sensitive zones
    

• Regulatory Compliance Assurance
  Ensured continuous adherence to civil aviation and flight zone requirements 
  
  

• High-Precision Monitoring
  Delivered accurate, real-time data for operational decision-making  
  
  

• Seamless Deployment
  Installed without modifying existing equipment and commissioned ahead of schedule  
  
  

• Low Maintenance, High Reliability
  Provided a sustainable, automated solution with minimal operational intervention  

Enabling safer operations and regulatory compliance through precision monitoring and  intelligent automation.
