Use of Modustri's HDE Suite eases inspection of heavy duty construction equipment for companies such as Houston-based Remedial Construction Services, L.P. (RECON). RECON's inspectors are also more efficient and accurate. Modustri HDE Suite is a mobile technology platform that simplifies field inspections.
An equipment manager with Remedial Construction Services uses Modustri's HDE Suite, a mobile technology platform that simplifies field inspections of heavy duty construction equipment.
A national leader in environmental remediation services, RECON has achieved substantial cost-efficiencies by reducing inspection time and improving fleet management as a result of its recent shift to the Modustri HDE Suite.
Designed by Modustri for heavy construction equipment inspectors, sales representatives and fleet managers, the Modustri HDE Suite puts the power to create value in the hands of its customers. Offering accurate measurements every time, while maintaining historical records for precise analysis of equipment performance, Modustri HDE Suite helps streamline the inspection and sales processes.
"Securing critical data accurately and quickly is a major game change for us," said Dave Wagner, a RECON equipment manager. "Before using the Modustri HDE Suite to test our fleet of excavators, bulldozers, crawler cranes and other over-sized equipment, we were using the traditional tape measure and caliper system. The HDE Suite cut a project that traditionally would take an hour down to 20 minutes."
Comprised of both hardware and software, the Modustri HDE Suite utilizes a cloud database and Application Programming Interface (API) to feed pre-loaded wear tables and accurately calculate wear percentages to determine the equipment's safety. The API is the communications highway linking everything together and assuring simplified integration with existing databases.
Field inspectors will appreciate not having to lug around cumbersome equipment, as the Suite's Wear Management Device clips to an iPad mini or other tablet systems and seamlessly links with the Suite's software – HDE Inspection Application and HDE Inspection Manager – bringing the critical task of inspecting heavy equipment into the 21st Century.
Additional benefits of the Modustri HDE Suite include: immediate results & follow-through; enhanced reporting; product training; and convenience and customization. Ideally suited for the inspection of heavy construction equipment, Modustri HDE Suite is an attractive solution to a variety of industries with precision measurement needs.
"The ability to monitor the wear of the machines in real-time is a cost and time saver," Wagner continued. "The system's ease-of-installation and use are additional benefits that work for us."
