The Platform

Powerful Technology.
Made Simple.

Mila‑Y is designed for the people who use and manage equipment every day—not just engineers. Its clear, intuitive platform makes advanced control, monitoring, automation, and maintenance tools easy to understand and use, without requiring specialized technical knowledge.

The Four Components

Make any Machine Smarter + Multiple Synchronization

Mila‑Y begins with customized hardware designed and configured for your equipment. It can be integrated into a new machine, installed during a retrofit, or added to equipment already in operation.

Once connected to the machine's controls and sensors, Mila‑Y brings four powerful capabilities together in one easy-to-use platform:

01 / Four Components

Control

Operate your crane, hoist, or winch safely and conveniently on-site using an authorized phone, tablet, or dedicated controller.

Stand where you can see the load, with live load, position, and machine status on the same screen.

Control works on site, within range of the machine, even without an internet connection. One authorized device can operate more than one machine it is cleared for.

Monitoring

View equipment status, performance, usage, operating conditions, and alerts in real time—from nearby or anywhere in the world.

See one machine or your whole fleet in one place. Set alerts for the conditions that matter, then review usage and performance history to spot changes over time.

Owners, managers, and technicians can each see the information relevant to their role.

Maintenance

Manage inspections and service schedules while tracking operating hours and equipment conditions to reduce unexpected downtime.

Keep inspections, service records, manuals, and checklists with each machine.

Use operating hours and equipment condition as guides when planning service; the decision stays with your team. Dated records make past work easier to review.

Automation

Save and repeat routine movements with greater consistency, precision, and efficiency.

Record a movement once and repeat the sequence with consistent positions and speeds. Routine cycles remain repeatable across shifts.

A trained operator supervises each automated movement and can stop it at any time.

European Industry 5.0

Bring Industry 5.0 Intelligence to Your Existing Lifting Equipment

Industry 5.0 represents the next evolution of industrial operations—combining advanced digital technology with human-centered safety, environmental responsibility and operational resilience. Mila‑Y helps bring these principles to your existing cranes, hoists and winches without requiring the complete replacement of your equipment. Through purpose-designed hardware, intelligent software and secure connectivity, Mila‑Y transforms conventional lifting equipment into connected, data-driven assets that are easier to control, monitor, automate and maintain.

Human-Centered Technology

Industry 5.0 places people at the center of industrial technology. Mila‑Y supports this approach by giving authorized operators greater visibility and control over lifting operations. Depending on the equipment configuration, operators and maintenance personnel can access operating status, equipment conditions, usage information and safety-related alerts from a phone, tablet or computer. Remote-control capabilities can also allow personnel to operate equipment from a safer position, away from suspended loads, moving components or other hazardous areas. By combining human judgment with intelligent monitoring and automation, Mila‑Y helps reduce repetitive tasks, improve situational awareness and support safer, more informed decisions.

Sustainable Equipment Management

Replacing serviceable industrial equipment is expensive and resource-intensive. Mila‑Y supports a more sustainable approach by adding modern digital capabilities to existing lifting systems and helping extend their useful operating life. The system can monitor operating hours, starts, electrical consumption, loads, temperatures and other equipment conditions according to the installed sensors and configuration. This information allows maintenance activities to be planned according to actual usage and equipment condition, rather than relying exclusively on fixed schedules or responding only after a failure occurs. Earlier identification of abnormal conditions can help reduce unplanned downtime, prevent secondary damage, avoid unnecessary replacement of components and improve the responsible use of energy and maintenance resources.

Resilient and Reliable Operations

Industry 5.0 also emphasizes the ability of industrial companies to anticipate disruptions, respond to changing conditions and maintain dependable operations. Mila‑Y provides centralized visibility of individual machines or complete equipment fleets. Equipment information, alerts, operating history, inspection records and maintenance activities can be made available to authorized personnel wherever they are needed. This improved visibility helps maintenance teams identify developing problems, prepare the correct parts and technical resources, and respond more efficiently. Remote diagnostics can further reduce troubleshooting time and unnecessary service visits, while documented equipment history supports operational continuity when personnel, suppliers or service providers change.

Intelligent Automation with Human Oversight

Mila‑Y can automate approved repetitive movements and operating sequences while keeping authorized personnel in control of the process. Automation can improve consistency, reduce operator fatigue and minimize variations in frequently repeated lifting activities. Permissions, operating limits and user roles can be configured according to the application, helping ensure that each person has access only to the functions appropriate to their responsibilities. The objective is not to remove people from the operation. It is to give them better tools, better information and greater control over the equipment they manage.

From Conventional Equipment to a Connected Industrial Asset

Mila‑Y provides a practical path toward Industry 5.0 without requiring an entirely new lifting-equipment fleet. Its retrofit-oriented architecture can be adapted to many existing cranes, hoists and winches, subject to a technical evaluation of the equipment, controls and intended application.

Once connected, Mila‑Y brings together four essential capabilities:

  • Control: Operate authorized equipment functions through compatible control interfaces.
  • Monitor: View equipment status, usage, performance and configured alerts.
  • Automate: Create controlled and repeatable movements or operating sequences.
  • Maintain: Manage inspections, maintenance schedules, operating history and service activities.

Together, these capabilities help transform existing lifting equipment into a safer, smarter, more sustainable and more resilient part of your industrial operation.

Your Existing Equipment. Ready for the Industry 5.0 Era.

Mila‑Y connects people, equipment and operational data through one intelligent system. By combining human-centered control, condition monitoring, responsible maintenance, intelligent automation and resilient connectivity, Mila‑Y helps companies align their lifting operations with the core principles of European Industry 5.0—while protecting the value of the equipment they already own.

Industry 5.0 is a European Commission industrial vision based on human-centricity, sustainability and resilience. It is not currently a product certification or an independent substitute for CE conformity, required inspections, risk assessment or compliance with applicable machinery and lifting-equipment regulations and standards.

FAQ

The questions
people actually ask.

No. Remote control is limited by permissions, safety rules, and the configuration of each machine. Mila-Y is designed so equipment can only be controlled by authorized users under approved operating conditions.

The machine's existing emergency-stop and safety systems remain in control. Mila-Y works alongside those protections and can be configured to notify the appropriate people when an alert or critical condition occurs.

Yes. Mila-Y can be adapted to many cranes, hoists, winches, and other industrial machines, including equipment from other manufacturers. Compatibility is confirmed after reviewing the machine and its controls.

No. The system can be configured around the capabilities your operation needs. You can begin with a focused solution and expand it as your equipment, team, or requirements change.

That is supported. Mila-Y can be configured as a monitoring and maintenance platform without enabling remote machine control or automation.

Both. Operators can receive a focused view of the machine in front of them, while managers can monitor equipment, activity, alerts, and maintenance across the fleet.
