Featuring an extended service life based on state-of-the-art rope technology, it meets the demands of urban operations characterized by high operating hours and high system availability.<\/p>\n<p>The Solitec\u00ae XD delivers significantly fewer wire breaks compared to standard round strand ropes at an identical number of bending cycles. Consequently, its application is particularly advantageous under demanding conditions with long daily operating times, such as those found in urban ropeway systems.<\/p>\n<p>Replacement investments are required only at a much later date. Furthermore, the rope offers numerous additional benefits, including exceptionally smooth running and low noise levels.<\/p>\n<p>Solitec\u00ae XD is utilized in numerous installations worldwide, ranging from heavily used urban tourism people movers in Las Vegas to hightraffic alpine ropeways in Ischgl and Oberstdorf, as well as ropeway systems in Italy (Andalo, Canazei, Pordoi, and San Martino).<\/p>\n<p>From project engineering to delivery and installation, Teufelberger-Redaelli handles all tasks surrounding the procurement of a new Solitec\u00ae XD rope.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-2 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\";

Simultaneously, the AI model precisely isolates the rope and identifies critical points such as splices.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>This pleases Fabian Imboden in particular: \u201cNow we can comfortably monitor the rope condition right from the office.\u201c<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Today, the tool recognizes the current condition of the rope. Tomorrow, historical inspection data and continuously collected information are set to increasingly help better assess rope condition trends and remaining service life. \u201cAs a result, our role is shifting: from inspecting a rope to understanding its entire lifecycle,\u201c emphasizes Smetana.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-14 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\";

There, <strong>Tommaso Tamarozzi<\/strong>, CEO of the AI startup Raidyn, delivered a lecture on AI-driven monitoring and visual defect detection of ropeway ropes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Viola Corsini<\/strong>, R&amp;D specialist at Teufelberger-Redaelli, presented on AI predictions regarding ropeway rope longevity. Under the concept of \u201cKnowledge-Based Lifetime Estimation (K-BLE),\u201c Corsini explained how rope parameters, system-specific details, and regular MRT reports generate a comprehensive dataset.<\/p>\n<p>Based on this dataset, machine learning algorithms train to produce AI-driven service life predictions: \u201cIn the future, AIM and K-BLE will work together to calculate the remaining service life of a ropeway rope,\u201c reports Corsini.<\/p>\n<p>This concept opens up a vast array of potential future developments. By continuously updating the model with fresh data, a regular exchange with end users (inspection institutions and ropeway operators) is established \u2013 leading to an increasingly representative model as well as stronger partnerships and collaborations.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-17 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\"; position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;z-index:-1;background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(), to())!important;background: -webkit-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -moz-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -ms-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -o-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-10 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling awb-cv-auto gradient-container-10\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-17 fusion_builder_column_1_6 1_6 fusion-one-sixth fusion-column-first gradient-column-18\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;width:16.666666666667%;width:calc(16.666666666667% - ( ( 20px ) * 0.16666666666667 ) );margin-right: 20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-18 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\"; position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;z-index:-1;background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(), to())!important;background: -webkit-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -moz-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -ms-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -o-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-18 fusion_builder_column_2_3 2_3 fusion-two-third fusion-column-last gradient-column-19\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;width:66.666666666667%;width:calc(66.666666666667% - ( ( 20px ) * 0.66666666666667 ) );\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-reading-box-container reading-box-container-2\" style=\"--awb-title-color:#000000;--awb-margin-top:0px;--awb-margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"reading-box\" style=\"background-color:#f9f9fb;border-width:1px;border-color:rgba(226,226,226,0);border-left-width:3px;border-left-color:var(--primary_color);border-style:solid;\"><h2>More on topic:<\/h2><div class=\"reading-box-additional fusion-reading-box-additional\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/zRdScM3t4MU?is=TAPemgpBh9OAsa6C\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AIM Tool Tutorial<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/nXUKwwJAaZ4?is=HZXmmeQRxRLMXfjE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Presentation by Tamarozzi<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/hGBKEthGbyw?is=LV90p2vGp-buQgk6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Presentation by Viola Corsini<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/hm9lYav867A?is=E1Kn-b9XWlD0Rtmb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Video Rope installation<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-19 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\"; position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;z-index:-1;background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(), to())!important;background: -webkit-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -moz-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -ms-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -o-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The rope is likely one of the most critical elements of an urban ropeway.
