Kleemann SPECTIVE CONNECT now with Tool Management
System extension offers simple and clear documentation of crushing tools and their service lives
KLEEMANN’s intuitive SPECTIVE operating concept makes a significant contribution to efficient operability of Kleemann crushing plants. The mobile SPECTIVE CONNECT application, in particular, supports operators during a typical workday, and now crushing tools on the machines can also be conveniently managed in SPECTIVE CONNECT. The system has been extended by the practical ‘Tool Management’ feature, which permits documentation of the plant crushing tools and their service times.
Via SPECTIVE CONNECT, an initial manual selection of the tool takes place. These are the TRON rotor ledges for the impact crusher, the BITE crusher jaws for the jaw crusher and the CONE bowl liner and crusher cone for the cone crusher, which are available in different versions.
The current tool, the operating hours and the crushed tonnes during the current usage period are then displayed in the dashboard. Moreover, other optional tools can be displayed and assigned to the project. The operator, therefore, always has an overview of the tools installed in the machine.
When a tool is assigned, the current date, the current operating hours and – with the use of a belt scale – the machine’s performance is documented. If it is necessary to change the tool, a new tool can be assigned in SPECTIVE CONNECT or the time of turning can be documented. The previous tools remain in the system’s history. After some time, an average service life can be calculated. A pending tool change can also be planned in good time, and good planning means less downtime.
The Tool Management information is available to all connected SPECTIVE CONNECT users – synchronization takes place automatically. For simple repeat ordering of the tools via the customer's Wirtgen Group contact person, Tool Management also includes an order form.
The continuous further development of the digital toolbox of SPECTIVE and SPECTIVE CONNECT not only makes greater operating safety possible, but also higher availability and utilization and, therefore, greater cost-effectiveness.
