Utilization Plan Monitors the utilization of your equipment to reduce fuel costs and equipment depreciation improve equipment and operator performance
VisionLink – Utilization Runtime Expected runtime Idle time Working time Efficiencies Compare Same machine type Different machine types Operators Create best practices Optimize operations Working Time plus Idle Time = Run Time Working Time = Time Moving with engine running Idle time = Time not moving with Engine Running Run Time = Ignition Off – Ignition On Equipment efficiency is your greatest cost factor Increase utilization, reduce fuel and operating costs, increase production Decrease unnecessary equipment depreciation
VisionLink – Work Definitions Device Configuration Idle vs. Working Movement Set threshold Common for moving assets Switches Common for stationary assets Excavator / crusher Movement and Switches Either / Or
VisionLink – Utilization – Fuel Burn Estimated fuel burn rates Input for: Idle Working Fuel burned Compare Same type of machine Different types of machine Operators Create best practices Improve fuel cost management Fuel is a major cost factor in your business Optimize machine / operator / project performance
