Condition Monitoring

SKF offers a variety of technology solutions that monitor and diagnose the condition of your farming machinery, meaning you increase the chance of catching a fault before production is affected. Condition monitoring in farming is on the rise, but the operator is the most important factor in making it work. Removing the human aspect requires additional equipment to ensure performance, uptime, and notification of potential issues.

Insider knowledge. Outside-the-box solutions.

When it comes to farming, Bernd Albert has been there and done it all before. He understands that every farm is unique, but that equipment faces similarly harsh conditions during harvest. That means long periods of inactivity followed by long intense work, not to mention labor shortages and market prices. On top of that, there are the environmental and operational challenges: mud, dust, debris, heavy loads, high temperatures, corrosive chemicals. Bernd knows all this too well and contributes his best practices and know-how into the development and provision of agricultural solutions that aim to keep maintenance down and help farmers do more with less. But don’t take our word for it. Watch the video and let Bernd Albert tell you all about SKF Agventure and how it is helping farmers and OEMs to meet their productivity goals!
