Wireless automation. We’re using it on more and more shows, and you can see it’s appeal.
Safe communication, that is wire-free, means no more complex cable management arrangements for data and power.
Friction drive trucks, like this one we’re building for Chichester Festival Theatre’s Oklahoma!, use a sprung encoder wheel mounted on the truck to keep track of the position.
We have also previously used wireless technology on Fun Home at the Young Vic, Queen Anne at the Haymarket, and Waitress at the Adelphi.
