5 Ways Using Equipment Data Can Help Improve Your Operations
Heavy equipment is the muscle of your business. Using asset data to manage your fleet will help to keep your operations in shape and make your business more competitive.
1. Look for Excess Idle Time
Use equipment data to compare idle vs. working time, then move equipment around to keep it busy.
2. Right-Size Your Fleet
Idle time tracking can tell you when you can get by with fewer assets and still get your work done. It will also help you see where you need to add an asset to reduce work bottlenecks.
3. Get the Big Picture
Bring all your fleet data together in one place. Getting a big-picture fleet overview can help you identify duplicated efforts and inefficient maintenance practices.
4. Plan Service to Avoid Surprises
Use electronic scheduling to plan service and maintenance downtime around your production schedule. Don’t wait for an asset to break down unexpectedly and stop your work in its tracks.
5. Train Your Operators to Be Aware
Get your operators to pay attention to equipment alerts. Quick action by an operator can help keep your equipment out of the shop and on the job.
