An app for remote control of crushers and screens
This company’s intelligent crushing and screening offering is expanding with a new software application (app) called Remote IC (photo). The new Remote IC is used for remote control and monitoring of the crushing and screening process, and it connects all the Lokotrack crushers and screens wirelessly at the site. With Remote IC, the operator can view all Lokotrack train machines and their main process parameters using a single dashboard. The feeder and crusher settings can be adjusted safely from the excavator cabin, and the overall visibility of the process allows the operator to adjust the feeding for an optimal production level. If a problem occurs, the Remote IC automatically stops the feeder, thus preventing overloading. It also instantly alerts and provides a reason for the stoppage, making it quicker and easier to get back to operation. With a lower overflow risk, the process can be run closer to maximum capacity. — Metso Corp., Espoo, Finland
