Distance. An Accurate way to measure Undercarriage performance.

Measuring undercarriage performance in terms of distance on component provides significant advantages over using hours, especially in terms of providing a more comprehensive understanding of component wear patterns. Here’s a breakdown of how this method addresses some of the differences between measuring in distance as opposed to hours:

1. Accurate undercarriage maintenance forecasting: By tracking the distance travelled on each component, maintenance activities can be scheduled and forecasted based on distance to be travelled, allowing alignment with next and future PM’s.
2. Forecasting remaining life: Understanding the distance traveled on the components allows for better predictions of remaining life and when replacements need to be scheduled, enhancing asset management and planning.
3. Focus on forward and reverse percentage: focusing on the forward and reverse percentage of distance travelled provides insights into how to optimize equipment usage for better performance and longevity.
4. Removing idling from the equation: Distance-based measurement eliminates the need to consider idle hours, focusing solely on actual distance based wear during operational periods.
5. Cost per kilometer/mile: Calculating the cost per kilometer/mile travelled provides a tangible metric for evaluating the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of undercarriage performance.
6. Accurate performance comparison: Utilizing distance-based measurements allows for more accurate comparisons between different components, thus enabling informed decisions for component selection and optimization.
