OVERRIDE replaces the mechanical link between control and valve with an electronic command path, so the same hydraulics gain precise control, remote operation and assisted motion.
OVERRIDE is the COPMA, PESCI and CPS drive-by-wire control system, compatible with truck, vehicle and vessel autonomy stacks, teleoperation and on-board telemetry. Available across the COPMA, PESCI and CPS range, for both civil and defense applications.
Almost any COPMA, PESCI or CPS crane can move to drive-by-wire, whatever its age or size. On an existing machine it is a retrofit that adds an electronic control layer to the hydraulics you already trust; on a new machine it extends the COPMA Remote Connectivity 4.0 telemetry system to full drive-by-wire control. Either way, you reach remote work and assisted motion without touching your proven lifting hardware.
A closed loop: the local controller commands the crane while its onboard sensor stack validates every joint state in real time. The trusted hydraulics stay; the control becomes electronic and self-checking.
The operator drives OVERRIDE from a handheld controller and reads the live crane state in real time: the digital twin, joint angles and pressures, slew, load-moment envelope and stability.
Direct Electronic Motion Control: Every boom, slew and extension moves under precise electronic command.
Closed-loop control gives smoother starts and stops with less overshoot. It runs on your existing hydraulics, gentler on the structure and the load.
Live Remote Telemetry: See your crane's live working state from anywhere authorized.
Watch positions, motion and the health of key functions in real time. Spot issues early and get support without a technician on site.
Teleoperation and Remote Control: Run the full crane from a safe standoff position.
Every motion stays under your direct command, away from the load and the danger zone. Precise placement is retained because the motion is electronically controlled.
Assisted and Autonomous Motion: Set the intent, let the crane run a guided move.
Supervised guided moves run smoothly and repeatably, always under your watch. Full hands-off autonomy is in active development.
Direct electronic control and teleoperation are proven in the field today, supervised assisted motion is advanced and in validation, and full hands-off autonomy is in active development.
Manual / Direct Control: The operator drives every function directly under precise electronic command. Proven in the field today.
Teleoperation: Run the full crane from a safe standoff position, every motion under direct command. Proven in the field today.
Supervised Assisted: Set the intent and the crane runs a guided move under your watch. Advanced and in validation.
Full Autonomy: Hands-off execution of a planned task, with the operator supervising. In active development.
The COPMA 228's certified working envelope: maximum capacity and reach, and how capacity falls off across the reach, read straight from the certified load chart.
OVERRIDE's control stack runs locally on NVIDIA Jetson, driven by COPMA's proprietary world model, Kalypso v1.1K, so the machine stays sovereign with no cloud in the control loop. A provisional patent application has been filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for the OVERRIDE hydraulic control: "Methods and Systems for Autonomous Control of Hydraulic Machinery via Optimized Reinforcement Learning."
Kalypso v1.1K world model: the crane's motion predicted on the Jetson before the hydraulics act.
COPMA OVERRIDE drive-by-wire may not be available for every model. Availability depends on the crane's model, age and configuration. Contact us to confirm your machine.
