What AMCS technologies does

AMCS Technologies is a privately held French SAS, founded in 1994 and headquartered in Collégien, France, that designs, manufactures, and distributes electronic safety systems for lifting equipment on construction and infrastructure sites. The company's core technology centers on real-time 3D calculation of distances between cranes and obstacles, wireless secure-radio communication, and automated intervention into crane mechanisms, embodied in its flagship DCS 61-S anti-collision and zoning system certified to PLd (EN13849-1) and SIL-2 (EN61508). The product portfolio spans tower-crane anti-collision (DCS 61-S, DCS 60), mobile and crawler crane anti-collision (DCS 61-M), a job-site supervisor (SUP 61), a connected telematics platform (IoT Lifting) with mobile and web interfaces, a digital lifting camera (CAM 61), an anemometer (ANEM 200), ICAO-certified aircraft warning lights, and integrated ARC automatic rotation control technology. All systems are designed to interoperate across crane brands and models.

The company monetizes through a mix of hardware sales, short-term rentals, professional services (installation, two-day training, maintenance, consulting), and managed fleet-registration services, with pricing conducted via quote-based direct and channel sales. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales targeting large construction and infrastructure projects (e.g., Hinkley Point C nuclear, Fécamp Offshore Wind, Microsoft Redmond, VDOT Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel, Torre Rise Mexico) with a global distribution network of more than 40 certified installers across five continents, supplemented by direct regional offices in France, the United Kingdom, and the UAE. Customers are primarily construction firms, crane rental companies, and infrastructure developers; the 2024 exclusive partnership with Larsen & Toubro anchors the India market. Management includes Mr. Chettibi as publication director and Radoine Bouajaj as Sales Director. The business remains privately held with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or revenue.

Core offering

AMCS Technologies designs, manufactures, and distributes electronic safety systems for construction site lifting equipment, including anti-collision systems (DCS 61-S, DCS 60, DCS 61-M), zoning and supervision tools (SUP 61), an IoT telematics platform, lifting cameras (CAM 61), wind sensors (ANEM 200), and ICAO-certified aircraft warning lights. Products are certified PLd and SIL-2 and are compatible with all crane brands and models.

Product overview

AMCS Technologies offers a comprehensive portfolio of safety solutions for lifting equipment, centered on its core anticollision systems DCS 61-S (flagship, PLd/SIL-2 certified) and DCS 60, complemented by the mobile crane-specific DCS 61-M. The ecosystem is extended by the SUP 61 construction site supervisor, the IoT Lifting telematics platform (mobile app + web), the CAM 61 lifting camera, ANEM 200 wind sensor, and aircraft warning lights (BAN 4 and medium-intensity variants). Supporting components include UC 61 control units and ULR radio units. The company also provides E-learning training. Products work together as an integrated safety ecosystem—anticollision systems share data with supervisors and IoT platforms, while cameras and wind sensors feed into the central monitoring layer. Founded in 1994, the company serves construction sites globally through a network of certified installers.
