Cat Technology Helps Schwinger Make Smart Decisions

From machine data to load counts and production totals, Cat technology delivers accurate information that you can use to streamline and improve operations. But how do you avoid “data overload” and turn raw numbers into useful information?

For the Schwinger Granit quarry near Nittenau, Germany, the answer is Cat Productivity—a remote monitoring system that tracks machine locations, cycle and idle times, load costs and fuel usage.

“Now We Know”

In this video, Quarry Manager Dr. Kristian Daub describes how Cat Productivity allows his team to:

  • Measure product total and load counts
  • Monitor machine locations, idle time and fuel usage
  • Improve the processes on a site that produces a million tonnes of granite products every year

In his words, “In the past, we thought we knew . . . now we know. We can make decisions based on data instead of gut feelings.”

Plus, he says Schwinger Granit can move faster because Cat Productivity provides updated information multiple times each day. That helps his team react to inefficiencies, identify opportunities, and make smart, informed decisions on ways to improve operations.

“The beauty of Cat Productivity is you get an update every 30 minutes, so you know immediately what’s going on in your production.”

- Dr. Kristian Daub, Managing Director, Schwinger Quarry

 

 


Meeting Today’s Challenges

Cat Productivity helps Schwinger Granit meet the challenges of rising fuel prices and price-sensitive customers. By helping to improve overall productivity, it improves quarry profits while reducing fuel burn and total CO2 emissions.

With this valuable Cat technology tool, Dr. Kristian says the quarry was able to track idle time, identifying when and where it occurs. He adds, “You can save operating hours and in the end you have less cost, more profit and you can handle your challenges for the future.”
