Operators of heavy machinery are daily exposed to extreme environmental conditions that impact their safety and performance. Factors such as dust, vibrations, air quality, and fluctuations in temperature and humidity can lead to occupational illnesses, fatigue, and equipment failures. With EntornoSense, you can monitor these critical variables in real time, safeguarding your operators and ensuring safe, efficient, and profitable operations.
What risks do heavy machinery operators face daily?
Throughout their workday, heavy machinery operators are subjected to constant vibrations from activities like transport, loading, and material hauling. These vibrations, combined with dust, air quality changes, and temperature or humidity fluctuations, directly affect the operator’s health and the vehicle’s lifespan. Without continuous monitoring, companies face:
- Musculoskeletal injuries and chronic fatigue: resulting from prolonged exposure to vibrations.
- Risk of respiratory diseases: caused by the accumulation of particles and dust in the cabin.
- Unplanned operational stoppages: due to mechanical failures stemming from the lack of data-driven preventive maintenance.
- Regulatory penalties: for non-compliance with occupational health and safety standards, such as ISO 2631-1 or ISO 8041.
With EntornoSense, you comprehensively monitor these risks, ensuring safety and operational continuity at all times.
Key benefits of EntornoSense in cabin environmental monitoring
Peace of mind and security
- Real-time vibration monitoring: continuously analyses vibration exposure using a sensor cushion on the operator’s seat. The system automatically alerts when levels exceed limits set by international standards (ISO 8041, ISO 2631-1).
- Vibration maps of tracks: by merging vibration data with GPS coordinates, real-time heat maps are generated, displaying track conditions, facilitating efficient maintenance, and reducing tyre and critical component wear.
- Configurable automatic alerts: receive notifications for any critical deviations in vibrations, air quality, temperature, or humidity, enabling swift actions to prevent risks.
- Certified regulatory compliance: all generated data comply with international standards and are auditable, ensuring information validity during inspections and legal audits.
- Adaptability to any vehicle type: EntornoSense integrates across your entire fleet, regardless of model or manufacturer, centralising environmental condition monitoring and enhancing operational management.
Cost savings and profitability
- Reduction in occupational injuries: monitors and analyses critical vibration situations, decreasing the incidence of severe operator injuries and reducing costs associated with sick leave.
- Optimisation of preventive maintenance: vibration maps help identify critical areas on tracks, reducing tyre wear and other components by up to 50%, extending their lifespan.
- Efficient resource consumption management: utilise monitoring data to optimise track watering and prevent dust accumulation, decreasing water usage and improving road safety in operations.
- Reduction of downtime: by anticipating machinery failures, you avoid unplanned stoppages, ensuring greater equipment availability and maximising productivity.
- Favourable investment-benefit ratio: with a modest investment, EntornoSense maximises operational performance, reducing costs in maintenance, resources, and absenteeism.
Comfort and ease of use
- Remote data access: view environmental parameters in real time from any location, allowing agile management without the need for constant on-site supervision.
- Customisable alerts and reports: configure different severity levels in alerts and automate report generation tailored to your operation’s specific needs.
- Centralised platform: visualise and manage all environmental data from a single interface, facilitating decision-making and operational control.
- Quick and flexible implementation: EntornoSense installs easily on any machinery, minimising operational disruptions.
Reliability and Scalability
- Technology validated for extreme environments: designed to operate uninterrupted in adverse conditions, ensuring precise and continuous measurements.
- Traceable and secure data: records are stored in the cloud, with automatic backups, guaranteeing their integrity and availability for audits.
- Integration with management systems: centralise environmental information in your management platform, improving operational efficiency and responsiveness.
What results can you expect with EntornoSense?
