Editor’s note: For the September issue of Portable Plants, members of the Editorial Advisory Board were asked the following questions: What are some equipment and technology trends you and your company are keeping an eye on? Are there any you or your company have implemented thus far? If so, how has it helped or changed how you operate?
As automation technology continues to progress in our industry, we pay extra attention to what tools are available to minimize downtime for producers. Unplanned downtime is one of the biggest deterrents to maximize profitability, and a method to combat this challenge is to incorporate monitoring systems to take back control of when production equipment is down for maintenance.
At Superior, we chose to pair our Vantage monitoring technology with our material-processing equipment to allow its users to easily see when proper maintenance practices need to be completed. This keeps each system running safe at optimum performance.
