Increased Productivity • Spot performance trends with excavators and operators • Operator Performance • Excavator Performance • Excavator Faults • Operators receive immediate feedback from operator interface system • Timely feedback for operators and management is essential to increasing performance and productivity
Powerful Reporting Tools • Web Based Reporting • Viewable from a standard web browser • Can be exported to Excel • E-mail reports on a schedule • Quick-pick, one-touch reports • Custom configuration of reports • Site specific reports available
Downtime Detection • AccuWeigh system detects downtime and prompts operator for a reason • Productive, Down, and Delay time is accounted for and reported in AccuWeigh Database
Alarm and Trip Reporting • Optional alarm and trip database • Tracks time and duration of specific alarms from PLC • Allows tracking of faults and identifies maintenance problems and trends • Allows faults to automatically enter down codes into machine chronology report
Blasting Effectiveness • Tracking bucket fill energy, bucket fill time, and load weight • Allows dig index creation energy/ton that can be tracked by time or machine location • Evaluate blasting patterns and practices
Unparalleled Support • 24 hours - 7 days a week worldwide • Telemetry allows upgrades and improvements to be installed remotely • Not limited to AccuWeigh • PLC troubleshooting • Remote X-Y for regulator performance
