Hercules Grundl\u00e4ggning has the most extensive machine park for laying foundations in the Nordic countries \u2013 and it is used profusely. \u201cThere is a lot of wear and tear, and great requirements on maintenance. Which is why it\u2019s important to have easy, digital fleet management and work order solutions,\u201d says Jan-Erik Svensson, Manager of Machinery for the company.<\/p>\n \"\" <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Wear and tear control<\/h2>

We are meeting with Jan-Erik in V\u00e4ster\u00e5s, where Hercules has one of the country\u2019s many maintenance stations. He points to one of the largest machines, a concrete piling machine with a hammer weighing in at five tons.<\/p>

\u2013 This machine hammers one million times a year, he says and gives examples of the types of environments it is used in.<\/p>

Hercules Grundl\u00e4ggning is a wholly owned subsidiary of NCC and rents out machinery to their owners and to external projects. The machine park contains machines for advanced piling, support structures, soil reinforcement, drilling and special assignments such as groundwater lowering and jet grouting. All in all, 30-something large and heavy machines, of which, the cement piling machine is one.<\/p>

Tailoring provides the right conditions<\/h2>

For over 10 years, Hercules has cooperated with TelliQ for fleet management and work order solutions.<\/p>

\u2013\u00a0Having so many machines and jobs all over the country, the machine park needs to be online so we can monitor productivity, downtime, where our machines are and when it\u2019s time to service them, Jan-Erik explains.<\/span><\/p>

There are many different makes in the machine park. Most have their own version of CAN-bus (Control Area Network) for their machine system.<\/p>

\u2013\u00a0We have ten to twelve different machine types. We want their systems to have similar conditions so we can make comparisons. And they do, thanks to the numerous adaptations TelliQ has made for us.<\/span><\/p>

Idling is an important key indicator that Hercules wants to control. Another is production time \u2013 a parameter that can be improved according to Jan-Erik.<\/p>

\u2013\u00a0Even if a lot of hours are spent on transporting and servicing machines, there is nonetheless an untapped potential to increase production time. We need to develop this.<\/span><\/p> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Work orders by mobile<\/h2>

All Hercules mechanics have an app on their mobiles for dealing with work orders.<\/p>

\u2013 It allows us to see which tasks are high priority, and our mechanics can accept a job with just one click. When the mechanic is done, he reports how long the task took and indicates what the cause for maintenance was as well as whether the measures were planned or unplanned. We\u2019ve had this since the beginning of the year and every third month we review unplanned maintenance and other internal jobs, says Jan-Erik.<\/p>

\u201cIn the app, I can view finished jobs, which allows me to work preventively\u201d<\/p>

\u2013 In the app, mechanics can access information on engine hours, planned and finished measures, service schedules, machine driving instructions, and so on. They can also make notes in a work order regarding spare part orders, when the parts were sent and the planned delivery time. Before and after pictures can also be documented in the work order.<\/p>

Mechanic Roger Linder is happy with how the app has evolved:<\/p>

\u2013 It has improved overall, and it\u2019s a good tool in my daily work. I use it regularly, make work orders and report reasons for downtime using various categories. The app also allows me to view finished jobs, which allows me to work preventively.<\/p> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

An App for maintenance and daily oversight?<\/h2>

Naturally, Jan-Erik Svensson is aware that all machine information and documentation will continue to be digital and that the level of digitalization will only increase.<\/p>

\u2013 It will involve the machinist\u2019s work environment, daily overview, engine hours for each driver and other control functions. I would like to see an app for daily inspections because it doesn\u2019t always happen as it is now. I would also like to pursue development of an app for maintenance that would be included in the purchase of a machine. An app that is connected to the machine\u2019s computer will help machinists do the right maintenance at the right time. We can work proactively because we will know what needs to be done before something goes wrong. That\u2019s what\u2019s called smart maintenance.<\/p> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
