Challenges of Hydraulic system in current Tipper Vehicles
1. Delayed Identification of Hydraulic Oil Issues: Without real-time monitoring, identifying issues such as low oil pressure or abnormal temperature fluctuations is often delayed, leading to potential equipment damage.
2. Oil Level Management: Maintaining the correct oil level is crucial for optimal hydraulic system performance. Traditional methods often fail to provide precise and timely information on oil levels.
3. Temperature Control: Managing the temperature of hydraulic oil is essential to prevent overheating and system failures. Conventional monitoring systems are often inadequate in providing real-time temperature data.
4. Contamination Detection: Contaminants in hydraulic oil can cause severe damage to the system, but traditional methods fail to detect contamination early.
5. Inefficient Payload Estimation: Inaccurate load estimation in tipper vehicles leads to inefficient operations, safety risks, and potential legal issues, impacting overall fleet performance and profitability.
6. Unplanned Downtime: Reactive maintenance approaches result in unplanned downtime, increasing operational costs and reducing fleet productivity.
7. Inefficient Data Utilization: Lack of accurate and timely data on oil levels and overall health of the hydraulic system hampers effective decision-making and maintenance planning.
8. Safety Risks: Conventional monitoring systems struggle to ensure the safety and optimal performance of tipper vehicles, potentially leading to hazardous situations on the road.
