ContiLogger

Continental is helping operators to keep their tyre costs under control, with a new service concept called ContiLogger, based on a device that allows users to monitor and understand the working environment in which tyres operate. According to Adrian Leu from the smart service solutions team at Continental’s specialty tyres division: “Users can do an analysis, go back to the customer and then customise recommendation reports based on the findings.”

ContiLogger Live allows users to put a telematics device on any truck, anywhere in the world: “This remote monitoring and analysis solution provides information on speed distance, elevation change, maximum distance per hour analysis and tonnes kilometre per hour calculation,” said Leu. The telematics system will tell the operators how long the truck was moving, waiting, dumping and loading.

Dr. Michael Hofmann, expert for industrial conveyor belt systems and off-highway solutions at Continental, added: “When the analysis shows that there still may be room for improvement, such as replacing a truck with a stationary conveyor system, we can help choose the right solution. (And) once we are in discussion with customers to assess whether it is more cost efficient to run a stationary conveyor system or use a truck and travel transport system, then we can move in a similar direction just on conveyor systems.”
