Retrofits to enable Predictive Maintenance

TRUCONNECT a key player in predictive maintenance 

Incorporating predictive maintenance elements as part of a maintenance program can further optimize your maintenance activities, reduce unplanned downtime and improve equipment safety, productivity and lifecycle value.

The services required to implement predictive maintenance include TRUCONNECT—our suite of remote service products and applications that support maintenance operations and drive improvements in safety and productivity.

TRUCONNECT Remote Monitoring is essential for incorporating predictive maintenance elements as part of a service program. Remote Monitoring provides valuable usage and operating data that can be used along with inspection and maintenance information for a comprehensive view of equipment maintenance needs and performance.

Analyzing and identifying anomalies, patterns and trends in TRUCONNECT data helps us make informed, component-specific predictions, and prioritize recommendations and actions.

TRUCONNECT Remote Monitoring

Collects condition, usage and operating data from control systems and sensors on an asset and provides alerts of certain anomalies. Remote Monitoring data is used in maintenance planning and in predicting possible component or equipment failure.

The hardware required for Remote Monitoring can be retrofitted on existing cranes including Konecranes equipment, non-Konecranes brand hoists and Demag hoists and cranes equipped with SafeControl.

TRUCONNECT Brake Monitoring

Uses a condition monitoring device to collect the status of brake air gap, mechanical and electrical faults from the electromagnetic disc brakes. The service provides visibility into current brake condition, estimates remaining service life and indicates brake faults.

Brake Monitoring can be retrofitted on Konecranes equipment as well as non-Konecranes brand cranes with electromagnetic disc brakes.

TRUCONNECT Wire Rope Monitoring

Provides real-time insight into the condition of a wire rope. It reveals both visible exterior defects as well as internal defects that are not detectable with a visual inspection. Specialized and patented sensors continuously monitor the wire rope while the crane is in normal operation and alerts via text or email occur when rope condition deteriorates below set limits.​

Upgrade your crane with the latest technology

Retrofits are a straightforward and cost-effective way to upgrade a crane with modern features and technology—like TRUCONNECT—that can enhance safety and usability. They can also help lower your maintenance costs by replacing frequently repaired parts.
