Thus, by using M2M communication the operator would
know exactly when to arrive at the crusher and what speed
to travel at to get there. Through reducing machine speed and
idle time, fuel consumption and machine wear and tear are
minimized, and an efficient flow of equipment is facilitated.
The next stage of the project will be to provide the operator with information – such as target speed and arrival time
– inside the cab. This live information will support and guide
operators to the most fuel efficient operation and could
be presented in future concepts like heads-up displays and
other innovative approaches.
Volvo will exhibit its line of construction equipment at
booths No. 1300 in the Gold Lot (outdoor), and 10951 in
the North Hall, or visit volvoce.com.
