FLEET MANAGEMENT

OMNI by Terex is a ground-breaking technology that will revolutionise the crushing and screening jobsite.

allowing unprecedented levels of control – all from the comfort and safety of the excavator or shovel cab. Additional features of the new OMNI by Terex system include alerts that indicate when someone on the ground is making process adjustments and camera view of up to two cameras per machine – from vantage points such as material transition points, chamber inlets and material choke level on cones. The OMNI by Terex system offers an option for other personnel on the jobsite (such as the wheel loader or excavator operator) to have read-only system access, enhancing their efficiency through remote view of the operation and timely interaction. “Crushing and screening equipment operates in busy, challenging work environments with many hazards to consider – typically with one operator having multiple machine responsibility and limited process control, limited view of the process and the transition points for material, while another operator clears stockpiles and loads dump trucks, and has to manage both of those competing activities,” says McMenamin.

Epiroc assists by highlighting the things that need immediate attention. Only spend time on getting things done, not digging through excessive information that just gets in the way. By being proactive unwanted down-time can easily be avoided. “We strongly believe that it is crucial to include all roles that are needed to get the job done,” says Niklas Forsberg, information technology manager at Epiroc Rock Drills AB in Sweden. “My Epiroc helps to pinpoint faults and bottlenecks to find smart solutions. No clutter, no noise, just peace of mind.” Whenever support is needed, My Epiroc users are just a click or a swipe away from remote guided support, finding contacts or to a transparent overview of all previously reported inquiries. It is easy to manage tasks and actions related to the fleet in an efficient way and get the input needed in order to prepare for reporting. Data is securely stored in an encrypted cloud environment, which customers can also utilise to upload their own relevant content to create a safe digital fleet library over time. WITOS Paving Docu Road paver manufacturer Vögele presented its latest developments for digital jobsite documentation and software-based process management. With the latest innovation, WITOS Paving Docu, the global market leader is complementing its two existing jobsite solutions: RoadScan, the non-contacting temperature measuring system with which the paving temperature can be monitored across the full pave width, and WITOS Paving Plus, the telematics

“We want our customers to experience digitalisation as a gain. No matter how complex our developments in this sector are, they remain simple to use. Ultimately, it’s purely about giving them the means to keep control and an overview at all times and to work as efficiently as possible with our machines,” says Sebastian Fuhrich, director Innovation Factory. Fuhrich says one of the most important levers for companies is transparency in all areas. The Putzmeister Machine Cockpit is one milestone towards this journey. With the new technology, customers can get real time information on the status of pumps at the jobsite, critical status alerts, remote diagnosis capability to identify faults and implement appropriate measures, key figures for delivery rate, machine use and fuel consumption, alerts when machines are on the move and reminders for maintenance. “The benefits are many – warning messages for critical states, remote diagnosis of machine faults, as well as automatic maintenance planning reduce costly downtime. Real time information and the overview of all relevant operating figures, such as output, machine usage and fuel consumption, improve planning and ensure high productivity,” says Fuhrich. My Epiroc My Epiroc – which will be rolled-out to selected markets during 2019 – is a new solution for the mining and infrastructure industry, with attractive features for increasing fleet efficiency and safety. My Epiroc is developed to be a work- flow optimisation partner, helping users keep track of productivity with relevant alerts and status updates. By design, My

Machine Cockpit Putzmeister also used the show to introduce its Machine Cockpit, an

advanced fleet management technology for its range of stationary concrete pumps

and truck-mounted boom pumps. The machine cockpit is part of

Putzmeister’s clever solutions promise – through connectivity – less downtime, higher productivity and, thanks to real- time information and an overview of all relevant operating parameters, more safety and efficiency.
