Lowering Cost of Production In the mining industry, controlling the cost of production (COP) is critical to maintaining profitability. A significant aspect of controlling COP is minimizing equipment downtime and maintenance. Cummins PrevenTech® addresses these issues directly, offering a proactive, data-driven solution to improve equipment reliability and ultimately decrease the COP. Preve

Cummins Inc. has released a new predictive model for the X15 heavy-duty engine, allowing owners to be alerted when a diesel particulate filter (DPF) differential pressure (DP) sensor is likely to fail.  Customers will be given a Predictive Service Insight up to 90 days ahead of the potential failure of their DPF DP sensor and allows them to proactively schedule a replacement, avoiding unne

Rising costs related to fuel, trailers, parts, insurance, wages and more all keep truck fleet managers on the lookout for ways to meet market demands more efficiently. In response to these escalating expenses, Cummins has proactively implemented measures to address the rising costs.  Digital technologies can play an important role in the journey to reduce costs. But did you know they can a

Remote diagnostics and prognostics monitor and diagnose the condition of an engine in real time using data sent from the asset’s sensors and control modules. This data can be analyzed to identify faults and predict when future faults are likely to occur. Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) was first used in the Royal Air Force in the previous century. The idea was to plan maintenance according to
