Konecranes has released TRUCONNECT Remote Monitoring and Reporting. It is designed to enhance safety, optimize maintenance and facilitate component lifecycle assessment on overhead lifting equipment.
According to the company, the TRUCONNECT Remote Monitoring and Reporting service from Konecranes features continuous data collection to provide users with a clear view of crane usage. Overhead crane maintenance can be planned according to actual usage and users will achieve improved safety and higher efficiency.
"TRUCONNECT from Konecranes is designed for any heavy-duty overhead crane application in which manual crane monitoring is difficult. Add the new safety alerts feature to the standard reporting service and get a focused selection of safety-related data soon after the event occurs. Once in place, safety alerts are issued by email and/or SMS for an overload or overheat event soon after it occurs, facilitating prompt action as necessary," said a company spokesperson.
Usage data is collected from the crane through a remote connection and compiled into web views and customer reports that are available through a secure online customer portal. The portal offers access to the historical data of the crane with important crane-specific data collected in real time.
"TRUCONNECT Remote Monitoring and Reporting from Konecranes has been designed to offer three distinct benefits. Overloads, emergency stops and other safety issues are captured and clearly brought to the user's attention for possible corrective actions, which may include operator training to improve worksite safety and productivity. It optimizes maintenance, focusing on the right maintenance at the right time based on real crane usage. The user can see how the hoist is actually used, calculate estimated remaining service life of certain components and plan and budget crane maintenance actions with greater confidence," said the spokesperson.
According to the company, in the future the full TRUCONNECT offering will include a variety of distinct remote services, ranging from periodic data reporting to real-time diagnostics, technical support and production monitoring. Currently, TRUCONNECT Remote Monitoring and Reporting from Konecranes is available for CXT and SMARTON lines of industrial cranes. TRUCONNECT Remote Monitoring and Reporting with Safety Alerts is available for CXT cranes.
