One based on reliability, to solve problems more effectively and more proactive productivity, and another based on performance, which ensures the greatest possible availability with international technical service. (Global Technical Support, GTS).

With more than 290,000 cranes recruited worldwide, Konecranes can apply their knowledge and resources in the development of innovative solutions that improve the reliability and performance of the cranes. Monitoring system that offers Konecranes sends data from use of the crane continuously through advanced connections with his GTS centres located in the United States, Finland and China. A major fixed connection and another secondary wireless (e.g. 3 G, GPRS or satellite), coupled to the crane, transmit information via a secure VPN in a redundant w24 router. In addition, some processed data can be integrated into the customer's it system.

The remote monitoring of reliability services continuously control the use of the crane to capture that information. If you have a problem of maintenance, customers and service technicians can fix it more quickly and efficiently. Maintenance services can be made based on actual data of the use of the crane. There are also available optional improvement reports for planning the predictive maintenance.
