Metso Launches Remote IC

Metso has expanded its intelligent crushing and screening offering with a new software application called Metso Remote IC, which is used for remote control and monitoring of the crushing and screening process and connects wirelessly all the Lokotrack® crushers and screens at the site.

Metso Remote IC app gives the operator the ability to view all the Lokotrack train machines and their main process parameters using a single dashboard. The feeder and crusher settings can be adjusted from the excavator cabin. In problem situations, the Remote IC automatically stops the feeder, preventing overloading, alerts and provides a reason for the stoppage.

“One of the key features of the Remote IC is that there is no need for the operator to exit the excavator cabin to adjust the crushers or to stop the feeder in an overflow situation. The ability to control and monitor the crushing and screening process from a single application has a significant impact on safety and eventually process productivity, since unnecessary process stops can be avoided.” said Toni Peltomäki, Director, Automation, at Metso’s Aggregates business area.
