Metso releases metrics software

Metso Helsinki, Finland, is introducing a new digital solution as part of its Life Cycle Services offering for the aggregates industry. Metso Metrics Services is another step in Metso's digital development, leveraging the possibilities offered by advanced analytics and cloud-based technologies. The new service will be launched at ConExpo-Con/Agg in Las Vegas, March 7 to 11.

Mobile crushers frequently move between sites, making it challenging to track, monitor and maintain a fleet of equipment for maximum performance. Through a remote communication device mounted on a piece of mobile equipment, Metso Metrics Services provides a dashboard view of operational and maintenance data—from use rates to production levels and fuel consumption. With secured access, the solution allows for data-driven decisions that impact crushing operations.

"Making the most out of the assets depends on data you can trust. Having the right information at the right time helps customers make important operational or maintenance decisions to improve uptime as well as use and production rates. Metso Metrics Services is designed to collect and provide this crucial data in one easy-to-use interface. Combined with the expertise of Metso's network for troubleshooting or optional assistance with analysis, the solution provides tools for continuous improvement, both in performance as well as safety and sustainability," says Giuseppe Campanelli, vice president of service solutions at Metso.

Metso Metrics Services is designed to identify underperforming assets and training opportunities, as well as to control maintenance and inventory costs.
