Tadano releases upgraded heyTadano assistant

Tadano has introduced an updated version of its heyTadano AI-powered assistant with a series of upgrades and a new voice control feature.

The upgrades include a new design layout, improved categorisation of products and optimised user guidance for faster access to relevant information.

For the voice control function, Tadano trained its AI assistant using all operation manuals for every Tadano crane, together with a series of related documents.

With this, the company says heyTadano can provide related information in ‘just a few moments’, without the need for searches through manuals or waiting for help desk call backs.

A version of heyTadano is available for iOS devices through the app store. The app allows voice control, which is activated with the ‘hey Tadano’ command.

A web version is available for Android devices, which includes a tap-to-speech function.

“The new voice function significantly simplifies the use of the app, especially in operational settings,” said Matthias Schneider, Marketing manager EMEA and Global Digital Marketing Lead.

The updated version of heyTadano received the German Design Award 2026 in the ‘AI in Communications Design’ category.
