Hiab presents the pioneering HiConnect(TM) - a connected solution for load handling
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 28 SEPTEMBER 2017 AT 11.00 AM EEST
Hiab, part of Cargotec, presents its Hiab HiConnect(TM) platform as taking
another pioneering step in the load handling industry. With HiConnect, Hiab adds
connectivity to its market-leading load handling equipment as an enabler to
provide critical insights which will help customers unlock value in their
businesses.
Hiab will make HiConnect available as a connected service for customers,
enhancing the productivity of the Hiab equipment in their fleet. Customers will
receive real-time insights of their equipment utilisation, operation and
condition. "Through this information, customers can actively optimise
performance and avoid unnecessary downtime. Currently, customers have limited,
often manual-input based insights, and lack of information about their equipment
utilisation rate, condition and operation. Now, HiConnect offers real-time
insights via web-based dashboards with clear and simple overviews that provide
status monitoring, service planning and help improve the operation of each unit
and operator," explains Jan-Erik Lindfors, Vice President, New Business
Solutions at Hiab.
HiConnect has been developed in close collaboration with selected customers
through multi-market pilots since 2015. Hiab will structure the HiConnect
service offering by introducing different tiers of business-critical insights
adapted to specific business needs and fleet size. During Q4 2017, Hiab will
present a HiConnect retrofit solution to selected existing HIAB loader cranes
and MULTILIFT demountables and customers in five markets - USA, United Kingdom,
France, Netherlands and Germany, with expansion of the HiConnect offering and
market coverage during 2018.
"We are very proud to be the first in our industry to bring this comprehensive
suite of connected solutions to the market. As a pioneer in load handling, it is
part of our mission to continue shaping the future of load handling. We have
worked closely with our customers and collectively see many benefits today and
huge future potential in HiConnect. This upcoming initial market offering is
just a start. Early adopters will now receive key insights and functionality,
but will also be part of further developing the HiConnect platform based on
their customer needs," says Roland Sundén, President, Hiab.
"Modern technology and connectivity has totally changed the way we operate our
business. Now that we can track the vehicles in our fleet, we know exactly where
they are and what they are doing. With this information, we can be more
efficient and operate much more safely," says Andrew Hollingsworth, Fleet
Technical Manager, Travis Perkins PLC.
The combination of Hiab's market-leading equipment and comprehensive service
offering including Hiab ProCareTM contracts and HiConnect as a connected
solution, will give Hiab customers the benefit of increasing efficiency,
productivity and safety in their businesses.
"We stated our ambition that all new Hiab equipment shall be connected by
2018. That is what we are working on, connecting us more deeply with the
customer to develop new ways of adding value to their business," concludes
Roland Sundén.
