Kleemann is launching the new Spective Connect App with integrated configurator on the market. The application enables digital customization of mobile crushing plants directly via smartphone or tablet for the first time. The manufacturer aims to increase efficiency in operation and simplify handling.
The core of the app is the digital configurator. Operators can configure their Kleemann systems according to their intended use. Material, throughput, and desired grain sizes are entered – the app then calculates the optimal machine settings. This saves time during commissioning and reduces misconfigurations.
Spective Connect goes beyond mere configuration. The app displays operating data in real time: throughput performance, motor load, screen efficiency, and fuel consumption. Downtime is logged and maintenance intervals automatically monitored. When critical values are reached, the app sends push notifications to the machine operator or fleet manager.
For recycling and demolition companies, the material analysis feature offers potential. The app stores settings for various materials – from construction waste to asphalt to natural stone. Those who frequently switch between jobs can retrieve saved profiles instead of reconfiguring each time. This accelerates conversion times on the construction site.
The telematics integration provides data for utilization optimization. Operators see at a glance which machine runs productively for how long and where downtime occurs. This transparency helps with deployment planning and amortization calculations – particularly important for expensive mobile jaw crushers or impact crushers.
Kleemann is positioning itself with Spective Connect in the growing market of digital construction equipment services. While other manufacturers in the mobile crushing sector offer telematics solutions, an integrated configurator is not yet standard. The app is available for existing and new Kleemann systems – older models require a retrofit kit.
The strategic direction is clear: Kleemann wants to bind customers more closely to its own digital platform. Once operators have operating data, material profiles, and maintenance history in the app, they won't switch to competitors as easily. For large fleets, central management of multiple systems could become a purchase argument.
Industry reactions are not yet available – the app has only been available for a short time. The decisive factor will be whether the promised efficiency gains are measurable. Shorter conversion times, less downtime, and optimized throughput must translate into operating hours and costs. Only then will digitalization pay off for recycling and demolition companies.
