What Is Online Control?
Online control for mobile heating systems is a technical system that allows for the remote control and monitoring of the mobile heating unit via the internet. It is a digital interface that enables the operator or a service provider to access the system’s operational data in real-time and, if necessary, change settings without having to be physically present on-site.
Why Is Online Control Necessary for Mobile Heating Systems?
Online control is a crucial accessory for the efficient and safe operation of mobile heating systems. The necessity arises from the typical use cases of mobile heating units, which are often deployed at hard-to-reach or temporary locations and require a high degree of operational reliability.
The most important advantages and applications are summarized in the following table:
| Application Purpose | Description |
|---|---|
| Operational Safety | Continuous monitoring of all relevant parameters (e.g., temperature, pressure, fill levels) for the early detection of faults or critical operating conditions minimizes the risk of failures and subsequent damage. |
| Remote Fault Diagnosis | In the event of a malfunction, the operator or technician can immediately determine the error code and cause remotely. This allows for a faster response and the targeted dispatch of personnel with the correct spare parts. |
| Efficient Fleet Management | For the rental or operation of multiple units, central monitoring enables the efficient coordination of maintenance and service calls. Units can be managed according to priority and geographical location. |
| Optimal Operating Modes | Remote control allows for the adjustment of operating modes (e.g., constant temperature, outdoor temperature-controlled) and the remote activation of special functions such as the screed drying function. This ensures compliance with specific requirements, such as those applicable on construction sites. |
| Data Logging and Documentation | Important operational data and trend curves (e.g., screed temperature curves, system pressure) are automatically recorded and stored. This serves as complete documentation for the customer, especially for critical processes like screed drying. |
| Reduction of Service Costs | Remote readout and diagnosis can prevent unnecessary travel for simple checks or misdiagnoses. This saves time and costs. |
| Remote Control Access | Direct access to the system’s control to adjust setpoints or restart the unit. |
