Reduced machinery life-cycle costs
Reliable operation and reduced life-cycle costs are paramount to your business. ConSite fulfils this requirement with data-driven service solutions, helping you maximise the value generated by your machinery.
“Hitachi construction machines are known for quality and reliability – and that’s what we bring to our digital solutions,” says HCME Product Manager Arthur Geremia. “Our machines are fitted with the latest technology, and we capture an enormous amount of data that helps operators to work more efficiently while reducing the total cost of ownership.”
Enhancing reliability of construction equipment
Construction machinery operates under challenging conditions, requiring durability over long periods, often exceeding a decade. These machines handle heavy loads, such as mining equipment moving 70 tonnes of materials in a single shift. They often face harsh environments, from extreme weather to intense dust and vibration.
Given these demanding conditions, unexpected issues can arise, resulting in unscheduled downtime and impacting budgets. To mitigate these risks and ensure continuous operation, ConSite provides ongoing monitoring, improving operational efficiency and offering timely maintenance recommendations.
How ConSite works for Hitachi customers
ConSite uses ICT to process data from your machines – monitoring and analysing their status. It is a tool to provide you with the services and parts you need, when you need them, to tackle the issues of unscheduled downtime and life-cycle costs.
Key features of ConSite include:
- machine status monitoring
- used machinery appraisals
- real-time remote fault diagnostics.
These solutions offer comprehensive support for your business, helping you maintain efficiency and productivity.
Working towards more sustainable construction
While ConSite is a powerful tool, its true strength lies in its ecosystem. It connects machines, customers, dealers, and various stakeholders – fostering collaboration and support. Our goal is to use this ecosystem to promote carbon neutrality and advance a circular economy, addressing broader societal issues.
The future of ConSite
Our aim is to grow as a true solution provider, first focusing on preventive maintenance through data use, before advancing to phase two of enhancing our products and creating two-way connections among dealers, suppliers, factories, and parts warehouses.
