Undercarriage inspection data provides a wealth of valuable insights that can drive smarter maintenance decisions, improve fleet reliability, and optimize costs. To maximize its impact, this information should be organized into three key categories:
1. Current Condition – Snapshot of Fleet Health
This section captures a current-time snapshot of the fleet’s undercarriage and inventory status, and a real time view of the undercarriage management performance!
- Component Wear Summary
Detailed % worn, Hours and distance on major undercarriage component groups —Chains, Segments, and Rolling Stock—quickly highlights which components are limiting life and revealing signs of accelerated wear. - Maintenance Task List
A clear, actionable list of required maintenance tasks for each machine, including timing and urgency, helping prioritize and schedule work. - Inventory Overview
A live inventory register showing the condition and status of all chains and frames on hand.
2. Future Plan
A forward-looking maintenance roadmap over the next 3 to 12 months, presented in weekly or monthly intervals. This section supports:
- Forward Parts Ordering and Labour Planning
Summarizes all upcoming maintenance activities over the next 3 to 12 months, displayed by weekly or monthly intervals. - Future Cost Projections
Provides clarity on budget spend for undercarriage maintenance and replacements for financial planning.
3. Historical Performance
A detailed review of how the fleet’s undercarriage has been managed over time, focusing on:
- Component Life Achieved
Reviews average component life achieved at removal compared to site benchmarks. - Wear Efficiency Achieved
Tracks the average wear percentage at removal and estimates the potential cost impact of premature component replacements.
Operating Cost Metrics
Calculates key cost indicators such as Cost per Hour and Cost per Kilometre/Mile to evaluate cost efficiency and total cost of ownership.
