How AI contributes to make your life easier

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing industries across the globe, and the material handling equipment sector and Konecranes is no exception. As we continue to integrate AI into our tools, we're not just enhancing the functionality of our equipment; we're transforming the entire user experience. From predictive analytics to operational efficiency, AI is paving the way for smarter, more insightful equipment and maintenance management.

 

Three examples to boost efficiency and cost savings

1.Fuel consumption predictor in yourKONECRANES is an innovative tool that leverages AI technology to optimize equipment work cycles, usage and fuel consumption, to improve overall  asset utilization and reduce costs. It supports all current models and drivelines. Machine Learning is applied to the fuel consumption predictive model, to re-train the model monthly with the latest data collected from the connected installed fleet.

This is particularly useful to highlight differences between different model configurations. By comparing the performance of different engines and drivelines, the predictor empowers you to make informed decisions to improve operations,  enhancing efficiency and cut costs.

Example uses PEMA cycle as default inputs data.

2. The asset maintenance planner uses smart technology to predict when maintenance is needed based on the historical utilization of the equipment, helping to keep equipment in optimal condition. Thanks to its forecasting possibilities, this planner shows you when service is required, what parts are needed and how much time the maintenance work will take.

You get a complete list of parts needed for servicing your asset(s), so you can order them directly from the Lift Trucks Store or save for later. This makes the process faster and ensures you have everything ready for your equipment or entire fleet maintenance. The use of AI makes these predictions more accurate, which helps reduce downtime and increase productivity.

With the Asset Maintenance Planner, you get valuable information to better plan at short and long term, while avoiding unexpected breakdown and cost. By knowing exactly when and how to service your equipment, you can keep it running efficiently and use resources wisely. This approach to maintenance is brining the equipment fleet management to the next level.

3. Managing equipment data can be challenging, but our support widget in yourKONECRANES customer portal is here to assist you. This tool uses AI and smart technology to create a step-by-step guide that helps you to discover new portal features, provides instructions on how to troubleshoot potential portal unclarities in short time and leads you to the right contact for support.
