Volvo CE launch Site Optimization consultancy service
New consultancy service to boost efficiency and sustainability initially targeted at the quarrying sector
AS part of their commitment to working closer than ever before with their customers, Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) have launched Site Optimization, a new consultancy service aimed at helping customers transform operational efficiency and sustainability.
Site Optimization refines operational processes across entire worksites by effectively mapping workflows and aligning material movement processes and machines, no matter what brand, to deliver peak performance. Initially targeted at customers in the quarrying sector, Volvo CE’s diverse experts help to identify strategies that boost efficiency while curbing costs and emissions.
Niklas Samuelsson, customer site performance service owner at Volvo CE, explained: ‘With Site Optimization, we are committed to forming deeper partnerships with our customers. Our goal is to be an invaluable extension of their team, leveraging our industry and machine knowledge together with data from our customers’ operations and our machines to help customers deliver on their ambitions and address their unique challenges.
‘In today’s highly competitive market, achieving operational efficiency and sustainability are crucial. But sometimes the demands of keeping a site running efficiently day to day can leave little time to explore alternative solutions. With Site Optimization, we provide expert consultancy and tailored solutions for today, while planning for the future.’
The first step with Site Optimization is for Volvo CE’s experts to undertake a thorough site assessment, mapping out processes such as stockpile placement, materials handling, and the movement of machines on site to measure costs and productivity and identify any inefficiencies.
Analysis of fleet utilization provides insights into the optimal machines to use for particular tasks to improve productivity and reduce cost per tonne, while individual machine use is also studied to identify potential operator training needs. This comprehensive pre-study uncovers areas for improvement.
The Site Optimization team then creates alternative setups for the customer’s operations, employing simulations and telematics data to demonstrate potential impact on productivity, cost savings and CO2 emissions. Clear insights are presented highlighting recommended actions and anticipated outcomes.
Whether optimizing existing sites or setting up new sites for peak performance, Site Optimization is intended to transform how customers work. Its data-driven insights guide decision making, ensuring operations are smooth, profitable, and aligned with environmental goals, both now and in the future.
Launching this week at Bauma 2025, Site Optimization will initially be available in Region Europe and Region International, with expansion to more markets anticipated as interest grows.
