With the introduction of DynaLink, Dynapac Compaction Equipment provides customers a tool to monitor and control their machine fleet efficiently and conveniently. This intelligent telematics system offers many possibilities to optimize fleet usage, reduce maintenance cost and save time and money.
DynaLink is available in three packages: DynaLink Standard, DynaLink Advanced and DynaLink Pro.
The standard DynaLink package records the location of a customer’s equipment once every hour, both Dynapac made machines and equipment made by other manufacturers. The last known location of each machine is visible on a map in the DynaLink online portal. Geo-fences can be defined so that when a machine leaves a certain area, an alert is sent to a pre-defined e-mail address.
DynaLink Advanced offers additional features supporting a full optimization of the machine park. It registers the equipment location every minute and logs many extra machine parameters like fuel consumption, engine load and coolant temperature.
This allows customers to analyze fuel consumption per hour for instance, or compare the performance of different machines. Other things that help them get a grip on their operations are productivity analyses, based on operating and idle times. For example, managers can see that a specific compactor is standing idle at a time when they would not expect it. With this information they can talk to the operators on the ground, find the cause, and come up with a solution. Without the data provided by DynaLink advanced, the manager would not have known about the problem in the first place.
DynaLink Pro is the most extensive package offered and especially useful for the most advanced equipment like asphalt rollers, pavers and planers. It includes paving parameters like screed width and layer thickness values, all linked to the geographical location of the paver. DynaLink Pro also offers an integrated interface with Bpo Asphalt, a construction process optimization tool that allows contractors to optimize planning, execution and documentation of construction projects.
Depending on personal preferences and requirements, the DynaLink online portal can be customized for measurement units, map settings and notification frequency. With the various filters and personal settings for graphs and tables, the webpage can be adapted to individual requirements to meet various customers’ needs.Â
Besides the maintenance function, DynaLink Advanced and Pro, also features the possibility of tracking failures and warnings remotely, keeping downtime to a minimum. All machine warnings are sent to the webpage or (if desired) to a registered email address. This allows your service team or the Dynapac service organization to support the crew on the job site.
After setting up a geo-fence, the system automatically notifies DynaLink users when a machine enters or leaves a predefined area. The geo-fence function in DynaLink enables users to keep track of the whereabouts of their machines, even when not logged in to the webpage.
DynaLink allows users to set-up automatic reports on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. This provides useful information on fuel consumption, usage and service status to fleet manager and others. DynaLink offers the possibility of setting up maintenance schedules. This helps planning service efficiently, reacting proactively and avoiding costly breakdowns. After setting up the schedule, e-mail notifications will be automatically sent to predefines e-mail accounts when a machine is close to its next service due date.Â
