In a World first, XM Automation were excited to integrate Imetron DONKEYmotion trucks wirelessly with XMove software, allowing them to be programmed and operated from the XM Desk.

These trucks each supported and manoeuvred a monumental ‘concrete’ column, forming an integral part of the Parsifal stage set at the Royal Opera House in London.

The production’s stage management team were delighted by the versatility and smoothness of movement they were able to achieve, creating cued scene transformations from the almost imperceptible to the highly dynamic, as described here by RBO Assistant Stage Manager Beri Valentine.
