How do you access the technological trends in the construction equipment industry?

India is witnessing rapid urbanization and so is the crushing & screening industry, fuelling demand for faster and smarter construction, a major driver for customers to move towards mobility. Digitization and automation have a significant impact on construction projects. The demand for machines that are cost-effective, with policies for lower emissions is compelling construction equipment manufacturers to opt for electric and hybrid vehicles over the traditional ones. Customers are cost-sensitive but they are willing to pay for features which bring efficiency in costs and quality. Our Hybrid technology and Telematics are the perfect examples for this.

How have you been able to leverage the advantages of Telematics, IoT, Big Data in your range of machines?

We are one of the first companies in the crushing and screening domain globally to launch telematics across our tracked mobile range of equipment. This provides customers access to complete information on the machine such as the production data, performance data and other vital parameters. Our telematics goes beyond simply a list of statistics and numbers. In addition to regular reports on machine usage and fuel consumption to help customers manage their fleet, telematics is tied into predictive maintenance, where customers can know when their machine is due a service or when parts may need replaced. This will be especially beneficial for large companies who operate a fleet of crushers at various sites, as telematics will enable them to get all the information on their fleet of machines at their head office or technical division.

Customers are constantly looking for advanced technology and embracing the new products. However, the availability of trained manpower remains a concern in India and as Terex, we are helping our customers to train and skill their plant operators to take benefit of the maximum efficiency from the equipment.

How have these technologies positively impacted your site management as well as productivity, reliability and efficiency of construction machines?

Out telemetry will provide our customers with real time information on the performance of their Terex machines. Our telematics goes beyond simply a list of statistics and numbers.
