What is SENcon?

SENcon consolidates key machine functions into a clear and intuitive user interface. Important settings and functions can be controlled directly via the 10-inch touchscreen display in the operator’s cab. Additionally, frequently used functions can be assigned to switches or buttons.

Custom driver profiles allow users to save and quickly recall personal settings for operation, comfort, and machine parameters. This is particularly advantageous when drivers change, for different applications, or during multi-shift operations. As a result, the machine can be adapted more quickly to the respective driver and the current task.

SENcon supports the operator with intelligent assistance functions for safe and precise machine movements. One example is the “Virtual Wall” work area limitation. This feature defines a specific work area that the machine must not cross.

Such assistance functions help the operator execute movements in a controlled manner and stay within specified work areas. At the same time, SENcon provides the technical foundation for advanced automation functions and semi-automated machine movements.

In this way, the control system supports both workplace safety and precise, efficient machine operation.

The excavator scale integrated into SENcon enables continuous weighing of the load in the bucket. This allows the current volume of material being moved to be recorded directly during the work process.

The data collected provides operators and site managers with a better overview of the machine’s handling performance. It can be used as an additional data source to evaluate work processes, compare performance metrics, and identify opportunities for optimizing machine utilization.

In this way, SENcon combines machine control with immediately actionable information on productivity in daily operations.

SENcon enables remote access to relevant machine data. This allows service personnel to analyze machine information and search more effectively for possible causes of malfunctions.

Remote diagnostics facilitate a faster assessment of the machine’s condition and can help avoid unnecessary on-site service visits. If a service visit is necessary, the service team has access to important information in advance.

Remote service can thus help shorten diagnostic times, streamline service processes, and increase machine availability.

SOTA stands for “Software Updates Over-the-Air.” This feature allows software updates and new functions for the machine control system to be deployed remotely. Physical access to the machine is not always required for this.

SOTA reduces the effort required for software updates and helps keep SENcon up to date. At the same time, the technology lays the groundwork for further developing the machine control system’s functions even after a machine has been delivered.

SENcon collects and processes information from the machine and its operational processes. When used in conjunction with the SENtrack telematics system, this machine data can be utilized for further analysis.

This provides operators with additional information about the machine’s condition, performance, and usage. The data can help them better evaluate operational processes, identify opportunities for maintenance and optimization, and plan machine usage more efficiently.
