Smart plant control

Crushing plant data on the smartphone

T‌he innovative digital operating concept SPECTIVE from Kleemann has optimised the control options of crushing plants in a trendsetting manner. With the SPECTIVE CONNECT extension, Kleemann goes one step further. All relevant process information and reporting are now displayed on your smartphone without having to leave the feeding device.

With its SPECTIVE operating concept, Kleemann is now the sector leader with regard to user interfaces. The plant is started via the 12 inch SPECTIVE touch panel directly at the plant. The intuitive operating concept makes it easy for users to choose the necessary settings. Once it has been set, the plant then runs in automatic mode. When a plant train is used, after initial set-up the operator can connect to the complete plant train, not just each individual plant. As a new feature in the SPECTIVE world, the radio remote controls have been integrated. Using the large radio remote control, the plants are moved from the low loader and the set-up procedure can be carried out conveniently and at a safe distance from the machine. The small radio remote control can be used to execute all relevant functions comfortably from the excavator.

Diesel fill level, average fuel consumption, average plant performance, gap setting, utilisation rate and a lot more important process data can be displayed at any time via the dashboard. In most cases, operators no longer have to leave the driver’s cab or interrupt the ongoing process. They can detect, for example, at the smartphone that the diesel fill level is low and order fresh supplies directly from the driver’s cab. Operators can see the machine utilisation rate at a glance and therefore regulate loading. They can also receive data on the daily output already achieved and also compare it to the previous day – and a lot more. SPECTIVE CONNECT from Kleemann provides more safety for the operator, higher plant availability, higher utilisation and thus higher cost-effectiveness.

The advantages at a glance:

Plant overview for maximum efficiency: In future the operator in the driver’s cab can obtain a plant overview of the infeed and the complete crushing plant via the camera system on the smartphone display.

Fault message with targeted information: In case of a malfunction, SPECTIVE CONNECT displays not only a general fault but, at the same time, the corresponding components incl. troubleshooting aids. The smartphone can be taken to the location of the fault that occurred and support the operator step by step with fault elimination.

Process optimisation through detailed reporting: The SPECTIVE CONNECT app automatically generates clearly arranged reports on consumption and plant performance as well as the plant usage. These reports can be forwarded by messenger or e-mail. This guarantees transparency in the complete process for the plant operator.

SPECTIVE CONNECT from Kleemann is currently available as an option for the new jaw crushing plant MOBICAT MC 110(i) EVO2 and the new cone crushing plant MOBICONE MCO 90(i) EVO2. Further SPECTIVE machines will be equipped or retrofitted with this gradually. The app can be installed on iOS and Android smartphones.
