Technology company Continental has developed a new air spring system with integral sensor technology that provides continuous operational status information in real time. Everyday operations in the construction and mining sectors will gain in efficiency as a result of the smart air spring: continuous condition monitoring offers operators of construction machinery valuable assistance in ensuring trouble-free and efficient operations. Construction machines and equipment deliver peak performance day in, day out - in a demanding environment. It's a rare construction site indeed that does not have to contend with dust, mud and dirt, which means that the machine components also have to cope with them. The problem is that up till now, with a conventional air spring, users received almost no operational status information. They had to rely simply on what they could see from the outside or on their subjective perception.
