With Svendborg Brakes’ newly launched Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solution, the world of Industry 4.0 empowers the mining industry to considerably boost its operations.

Bucket wheel excavators (BWEs) need robust and reliable braking systems to withstand the harsh operating and environmental conditions they are exposed to. The right solution helps them handle power cuts while protecting the BWE’s components from shock loads. By offering an innovative braking control setup that features Cloud computing and data analytics, Svendborg Brakes supported a premier lignite mining company in Bílina, Czech Republic, to slashing maintenance costs and downtime.
