HiConnect provides near real-time data about the health and performance of Hiab equipment

HiPerform is the umbrella brand for Hiab’s range of smart solutions which are all tailored to various stages of a piece of equipment’s lifecycle.

“HiPerform is a milestone in Hiab’s digitalisation journey and proves our dedication to using technology to keep everyday life moving. Each product in the suite addresses different challenges in a product’s lifetime to maximise the equipment lifecycle value,” said Michael Bruninx, senior vice president, services, Hiab.

There are currently three solutions to optimise operator performance, equipment efficiency and fleet productivity ProCare, HiConnect and HiSkill.

ProCare service contracts provide proactive maintenance and expert assistance to maximise uptime, equipment performance, reliability and lifespan. It’s comprehensive service contract solution for Hiab equipment which will soon be expanded with a remote monitoring and diagnostic service.

HiConnect meanwhile provides near real-time data about the health and performance of Hiab equipment. This telematics solution can be used to identify potential issues and make data-driven decisions about fleet safety and utilisation.

HiSkill is a virtual reality training simulator to train both new and experienced crane operators in a safe, scalable and cost-effective manner.

“By bundling the solutions under the HiPerform brand, we are making the value proposition easier to understand for our customers,” said Maria Lindroos, director, digital services transformation, Hiab.

“HiPerform transforms Hiab from not only an equipment supplier into a strategic partner for the customers by safeguarding their equipments’ lifecycle value through operational efficiency. By taking a load off their mind, they can fully focus on core activities and profitability.”
