Powerscreen introduces Pulse telematics system provides management of crushing and screening operations

Powerscreen Pulse provides new digital tools to help improve crushing and screening operations.

David Gunn, Commercial Service Manager at John Gunn and Sons Ltd, said “Powerscreen Pulse is extremely user friendly, easy to access and a very valuable management tool for the quarrying industry. With the Pulse system I can monitor the location of machines and check the hours on the machines. The system also always allows me to see live information and monitor urea levels, CSS, tramps, feeder starts, fault codes and any warnings."

“No matter where you are in the world, Pulse lets you stay on top of production by giving you accurate, up-to-date information direct to your PC, tablet or smartphone. We’ve taken a lot of time to get the system to perform exactly as customers want, so that this robust platform will generate massive cost and time savings for equipment owners and operators alike,” said Powerscreen Product Line Director, Colin Clements.
