Make informed maintenance decisions with TRUCONNECT data

Looking at your TRUCONNECT data on the Konecranes Portal on a routine basis can help you make decisions on maintenance, safety concerns, training, productivity, and service and equipment investments.

Remote Monitoring expands your view of your lifting equipment by providing a detailed look at crane condition and usage over time. This comprehensive view can help keep you from missing a minor usage abnormality—or help you connect seemingly unrelated patterns—before they become or contribute to a larger problem. Analyzing TRUCONNECT data can also help you develop an operational baseline and identify opportunities for maintenance and process improvements.

Looking at the whole history of your crane usage, including trends in, and frequency of, abnormal use can help you plan and execute operator and service training programs.

New training programs can clarify operator responsibilities and refine operator capabilities, helping improve work cycle times and reduce some crane use problems.

 

Data can help you optimize crane safety, productivity and maintenance

TRUCONNECT Remote Monitoring provides real-time crane condition and usage information giving you the visibility you need to fully understand the day-to-day use of your cranes.

On the Konecranes Portal, TRUCONNECT condition details shows the current condition of select components and the estimated remaining service life based on the usage history. Condition data also indicates when critical components should be replaced, inspected or overhauled/modernized.

TRUCONNECT alert dataAlerts gives you an overview of safety- and production-critical faults or warnings that have occurred within the past three months. This allows for the early identification of potential issues that may affect crane function and helps in maintaining operational efficiency. The alert pareto reveals the main causes for alerts, helping you prioritize which to address first for maximum impact. Recommended actions are provided for each alert to help you eliminate the root cause of the most frequently occurring alert types in order to significantly improve the safety and reliability of the equipment.

Usage details show how different crane operating patterns affect the safe operation and condition of the crane and the service life of critical components. Usage patterns can significantly influence the service life and safety of individual components. Looking at usage data can help you make decisions regarding the appropriate operation of your cranes in order to achieve optimal results in terms of the safety, service life and maintenance costs of your crane investment.

 

Avoid unexpected brake problems with data insights

Brake monitoring data

Brake Monitoring gives you continuous real-time data on the brake air gap condition and different faults based on the control signal and measurement of the required opening current. As the brake lining wears—the required opening current increases.

Brake Monitoring provides valuable information for brake maintenance planning. Data can indicate brake maintenance needs in advance and shows if air gap adjustment is proper after installation. The data also provides a clear picture of brake overhaul intervals and replacement history, especially with unexpected brake problems.

 

Safer lifting with real-time rope condition

Rope monitoring dataReal-time wire rope condition is presented in color-coded graphs to you quickly see if your rope is in good condition, needs attention or should be replaced immediately. An indication of defects on different parts of the rope helps you identify which parts of the wire rope have started to wear out and may need further attention. 

Looking at the trend display gives you an aggregated view of rope condition over time. This information helps estimate the remaining wire rope lifetime and can aid in maintenance planning.
