Using the data generated by your equipment puts money in your pocket by helping you  keep your equipment in top shape and avoid unplanned downtime. Here are six ways to make the most of your data to help manage your equipment and reduce operating costs.

 

 

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Take advantage of electronic alerts to schedule and complete all recommended maintenance and service.

 

 

S•O•SSM FLUID ANALYSIS

Sample oil, coolant and hydraulic fluids regularly, have your Toromont Cat specialists analyze them for wear indicators, then act quickly on the results and recommendations from your Condition Monitoring Advisor (CMA).

 

INSPECTIONS

Regularly look for smoke, leaks, lagging performance and so on. Send electronic inspection reports to your specialists for use in a condition monitoring program.

 

REPAIR BEFORE FAILURE

Use equipment data and electronic alerts to catch small problems early. Schedule repairs quickly to avoid breakdowns and keep repair costs low.

 

 

OPERATOR TRAINING

Operating practices dramatically impact performance and component wear. Remotely monitor your operators’ day-to-day performance to spot training opportunities and reward good performance.

 

RECORD KEEPING

Automatically gather data on machine history, component life and operating costs. Good records help you identify high-cost or problem areas, track workflow, control expenses and increase machine resale value.
