Continental presents IoT suite for pits, mines, and construction sites
Continental’s IoT solution SightIQ will set new standards for the productivity management of quarries, mines, and construction sites. SightIQ can integrate virtually all data available to a manager from mobile machines, vehicles and stationary assets like conveyors or tools, regardless of make, model, year, manufacturer or asset location. It combines asset management, process management and operator management in one system. It offers data analytics tools and supports predictive maintenance.
“We are very proud to present a solution that gives managers everything that they need to know about all their assets’ health, productivity and location on a single pane of glass. We have launched SightIQ using the Off-Highway knowledge and competences across our many business areas to bring customers a solution that can be a fundamental step forward in increasing their profitability,” says Mario Branco, Head of Business Development Off-Highway at Continental.
SightIQ is already implemented with customers in the U.S. and will be expanded to Europe in the second half of 2023. With SightIQ, construction and aggregate site operators eliminate the need to manually collect and analyze data from disparate sources and time-consuming production impact studies. In return, operators can focus on unearthing enhanced profits by leveraging SightIQ insights to avoid costly breakdowns and fine-tune site processes. For example, SightIQ-driven insights can identify unnecessary idle time, inefficient use of fuel, or non-optimal timing of maintenance across assets which is considerably costly for heavy-duty fleets. Even a 58-second longer cycle time can cost quarry fleets over $180,000 in lost productivity per day. Additionally, SightIQ meets the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEMP) 2.0 telematics standard, pulling asset data from all major yellow-iron OEMs into a singular unified view.
