Through its telematics solutions, Epiroc collects the number of engine hours and pump hours from each machine.
– With this information as a basis, we can run campaigns on wear-and-tear parts, for example. After six-seven years, that is, when the machine has reached its midlife point, we know that certain parts need to be replaced. Using this information, we can alert customers and offer replacement parts in good time before the work needs to be done.
Some customers need more information than others. Half of Epiroc’s surface rigs are owned by sole proprietors.
– They need information on how their specific machine is performing. Companies with many machines need to be able to compare the machines with each other. Why is one machine performing better than another? Why does one machine have more downtime than another? These are some of the questions that telematics data can answer.
Telematics in monitoring and fleet management are invaluable for Epiroc and their customers. Inefficient and idle machines are costly.
– Our telematics provide the customer with tools for analyzing the status of their fleet. This means that they can improve their process flows, which at the end of the day means that production is more cost-effective and profitable, says Oscar Lundhede.
