The challenge of mobile machines

Mobile machines differ from stationary machines in many ways:

• They are used outdoors, in almost any weather and in sometimes very harsh conditions such as forests, quarries, tunnels, mountains.
• The load ranges of the assemblies of off-road machines are very different and very dynamic.
• The dimensioning of mobile machines is subject to many constraints (weight, energy consumption, size, road traffic regulations, etc.).
• The manufacturers (OEM) are often SMEs to medium-sized companies and produce small to medium quantities.
• Functionality, automation and software content are constantly increasing. Operation is becoming more complex, and at the same time there is a lack of skilled workers who can master this complexity.
• Many machines are used by service providers.
  Order-related billing is becoming more and more important.
• Local support is often covered by partners whose competences as service providers for different manufacturers are very limited.
• "Fire brigade missions" by the OEM can be very expensive due to a remote location.

The solution: Connected Mobile Machine

To deliver on the performance promises of mobile machines, powerful designs and intelligent system solutions are first required. To ensure availability and performance in operation, Real-Time remote access and monitoring are essential. We offer a complete solution from a single source in cooperation with Ardexa.

Essential core functions of this IoT solution are:

• Remote access via mobile radio and telematics module, incl. remote shell.
• Remote HMI – Visualisation of the HMI in the browser to solve prob-lems together with the driver.
• Remote software update – Update of system and firmware at the push of a button.
• Remote monitoring – Continuous recording of relevant machine and process data. If required, also high-resolution data in the millisecond range.
• Remote analysis – Analysis of recorded data during operation and without intervention in the machine control system. Faults can be detected at an early stage.
• Remote control – Presetting of settings via web interface, without logging into the control system, protected by a secure user system.
• Remote audit – All remote accesses and their actions are logged indelibly.
