What is remote concert rigging?

Remote concert rigging refers to the setup, adjustment, and management of stage equipment such as lighting, sound systems, and structural supports for concerts, but with elements of the work coordinated or controlled off-site using digital tools and remote technologies. This can include remotely monitoring rigging systems, adjusting automated winches, or providing technical support and oversight from a distance. Remote rigging helps improve safety, efficiency, and flexibility, especially for touring events or during situations where onsite personnel may be limited. Rigging professionals still require extensive training and experience to ensure all equipment is safely installed and operated, even when some tasks are performed remotely.
