Heavy Vehicle Industry: Using WCM Plugins and Manusis Insights to Manage Agriculture and Construction Heavy Vehicles

This guide addresses asset management during both the production and operation of heavy vehicles. It describes how WCM tools support manufacturing assets and how GPS, operating hours, distance and IoT readings can inform maintenance plans for agricultural and construction machinery in the field.

  • Two asset contexts. The ebook considers heavy vehicles on manufacturing lines and equipment working in agriculture and construction environments.
  • WCM in production. Machine Ledger, Autonomous Maintenance, Failure Analysis and X|QM are named as tools for production assets and teams.
  • Maintenance during use. Plans can be based on operating cycles, hours or distance, while Manusis Insights can monitor parameters and support technician notification.

Overview

Managing heavy machinery from plant to field

The ebook looks at maintenance and asset management across heavy-vehicle manufacturing and day-to-day operation. It introduces the challenges of maintaining construction and agricultural equipment, then describes an IoT project connecting machinery to Manusis4. In production, WCM plugins support machine records, autonomous maintenance and failure analysis. In the field, GPS location, operating cycles, hours and distance can inform preventive plans and help direct maintenance attention.

Inside the e-book

Topics covered in this material

01

Heavy equipment context

The opening chapters outline the scale of construction and agricultural machinery and the maintenance demands associated with equipment used in demanding environments.

  • Agricultural machinery
  • Construction vehicles
  • Repair and skilled-labor demands

02

Connected maintenance

An industrial IoT project links machine information to software, allowing an equipment alert to initiate a maintenance order and send it to the responsible technician’s mobile workflow.

  • Condition and cycle-based maintenance
  • Machine alerts
  • Mobile work-order dispatch

03

Production and field use

The ebook separates factory needs from operating needs: WCM plugins support production lines, while field plans can use GPS, engine hours and distance traveled.

  • WCM plugins on production assets
  • GPS and operating-cycle plans
  • Insights and maps for field response

Key ideas

Concepts to take away

WCM

Machine Ledger

A structured history of machine components and maintenance information used in production environments.

Field service

Cycle-based maintenance

A maintenance plan triggered by use measures such as operating hours, production cycles or kilometers traveled.

Heavy equipment maintenance connects what happens on the factory floor with the conditions and location of machines in the field.
