Machine condition data cluster 5 Earth-moving machinery Concrete Technology | DE-German

For the machines considered in the cluster – concrete pumps, truck mixers, etc. – there is currently no standard that OEMs can use to provide machine operators with the data they need in a uniform manner across all manufacturers.

For this reason, OEMs currently offer isolated solutions for providing machine data, which are difficult or impossible for operators of mixed fleets to manage uniformly, e.g. within fleet management systems, or to integrate into higher-level systems for efficient process mapping.

The overarching goal of the cluster is to significantly improve this situation by creating a practical standard for manufacturers and operators based on ISO 15143. The results must be developed jointly with all stakeholders, from manufacturers and service providers to end users, in order to create real added value for the industry.

However, the machine status data defined in ISO 15143 is not universally applicable to the machines considered in the cluster. In addition, some of the defined data is not regulated in sufficient detail and is open to interpretation, which prevents uniform data provision. Furthermore, the data set described in ISO 15143 only covers part of the machine status data relevant to machine operators for the machines considered in the cluster. This means that the specific processes on the construction site or in higher-level logistics cannot be mapped.

In the first step, the definitions of ISO 15143 were applied to the machines under consideration in the cluster. In doing so, it was determined which of the defined data fields are applicable and how they are to be interpreted uniformly.
