Strautmann Umwelttechnik networks baling presses into intelligent system units and thus offers new possibilities for efficient waste disposal management.
With BaleConnect, Strautmann Umwelttechnik is expanding its portfolio with a system for real-time monitoring and data-based analysis of baling presses. The scalable platform networks individual machines or entire fleets into a smart overall system and opens up new possibilities for efficient, data-supported waste disposal management.
Intelligent machine control in real time
BaleConnect records and transmits Operating data such as run times, number of bales, baling cycles and status messages in real time - with a particular focus on user-friendliness. The data can be accessed via a web-based dashboard, regardless of whether the machines are located in the same plant or at different sites. Automated push notifications in the event of faults or maintenance requirements enable an immediate response. This minimises downtimes, increases machine availability and improves planning reliability.
Data analysis as the key to process optimisation
A central element of BaleConnect is the comprehensive data collection, which creates transparency and makes optimisation potential visible. The system allows not only analysing individual machines, but also comparing multiple units - for example, in terms of capacity utilisation, bale volume or downtimes. This allows potential for improvement to be identified and utilised in a targeted manner.
Data collected over the long term can also be analysed to track seasonal developments or evaluate optimisation measures. This data-based management enables companies to optimise their Strategically align waste disposal management - for maintenance, personnel planning or investment decisions, for example.
Compatibility and modularity as an investment advantage
BaleConnect is already compatible with the AutoLoadBaler - a semi-automatic baler with automated filling. Other models in the Strautmann product range will be successively integrated. This makes the platform a future-proof solution for both new and existing customers that can be seamlessly integrated into existing processes. Thanks to the modular structure, functions can be activated as required and updates can be easily installed.
The platform addresses key challenges facing the industryThe challenges include rising disposal costs, a shortage of skilled labour and growing demands for sustainability and transparency. Through the intelligent use of data, BaleConnect helps companies to utilise resources more efficiently and streamline processes.
BaleConnect not only provides an answer to current challenges, but also enables customers to Entry into a future-oriented, data-driven recycling economy, says the product management team at Strautmann Umwelttechnik.
With BaleConnect, the company combines classic mechanical engineering with digital technologies - with the aim of offering customers not only hardware, but also Holistic, integrated systems with real added value.
