maintenance — providing real-time visibility and a unique customer experience.


Nowadays, much of the service,


maintenance, and repair work is done in a scheduled way: carried out routinely on a set timetable,


because real- time information on the condition and performance of the equipment is sometimes lacking. A lot of time and money is wasted, mostly due to deficiencies in how information is gathered and shared. In other instances, technicians


rush to repair a defect that might have been avoided if only they had received the relevant information that preventive maintenance was required. TRUCONNECT Remote Monitoring provides visibility to crane usage and operating data, helping with decisions about maintenance investments and productivity. The data is utilized to estimate the remaining theoretical design working period (DWP) and service life of selected components. Additionally, crane usage patterns may identify where operator training could improve safety and productivity. An Alerts option provides notification by email and/or text message of selected occurrences, including overheating, attempted overloads, and emergency stops, so that prompt action can be taken as appropriate.
