Kleemann adds stockpile monitoring function to its mobile application

Kleemann has added a stockpile monitoring function to SPECTIVE CONNECT. This function monitors material discharge and associated material stockpiles, making work easier for wheel loader operators in charge of clearing the stockpiles.

Stockpile monitoring allows SPECTIVE CONNECT to display the current status of material stockpiles at all times. Users can define from what stockpile height they wish to be informed – for example, at 90 percent of the total height.

Stockpile monitoring is helpful on extensive terrain and with larger plant trains. Not all material stockpiles are always in the excavator operator's field of vision; wheel loader operators often have other tasks as well. They can pursue these in a concentrated and calm manner because SPECTIVE CONNECT sends a push notification so that employees go to the full material stockpile at the right time to clear it. This saves unnecessary trips, prevents switch-off when the stockpile is full, and increases productivity.

All data on the material stockpiles is thus recorded and is used to build up an algorithm that calculates the time remaining until the stockpile is full. The stockpile monitoring function allows processes on the work site to be optimized and prevents downtimes.
