SmartClaw Control

Your phone is your
machine control center.

Two-way communication. Real operational control.

SmartClaw Control lets your claw machine send information to the app and lets you send operational changes back to the machine. Review what is happening, then make supported changes from your phone, wherever you manage your route.

  • See what your machine is telling you. Review machine data and remote diagnostics in the app.
  • Make operational changes from your phone. Use remote Control to adjust supported machine settings without an on-site visit.
  • Put your decisions into action. Use the app to manage connected machines across your locations.
